IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating is read as, the first number 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 the second number 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 prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JBL Wave Beam have sweat resistance JBL Wave Beam have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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 before recharge.
