Having a value of IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating for solids indicates 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 the second value of 4 means 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 take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables.

The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device. The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW.
