IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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. The JBL Wave Beam have a weight of 8.8g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires.
