Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the JBL Wave Beam, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,

Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Beam have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The JBL Wave Beam and Jabra Elite 7 Pro work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time. JBL Wave Beam sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background sounds while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro, and JBL Wave Beam have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The JBL Wave Beam's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.

equal to that of the JBL Wave Beam
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JBL Wave Beam have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Wave Beam
JBL Wave Beam have 2 microphones.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of JBL Wave Beam by 6
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds. JBL Wave Beam use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy environments. The JBL Wave Beam support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music while being aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a run but still want to hear traffic.
