Ingress protection ratings is the level 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 means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, 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 Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro
The JBL Live Pro 2 have a weight of 9.6g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.

The JBL Live Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the device.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.

both devices make sound with equal bass
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
