IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Buds'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.
In comparison to the JBL Wave Buds, Jabra Elite Active 75t have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Elite Active 75t has a higher liquid rating than JBL Wave Buds
The JBL Wave Buds have a weight of 9g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Jabra Elite Active 75t, at 10.1g
weigh more than the JBL Wave Buds by of 1.1g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Wave Buds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.

JBL Wave Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Jabra Elite Active 75t also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Jabra Elite Active 75t too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
JBL Wave Buds stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out .

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Buds by 2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
