Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the Nothing Ear 2'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 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.
Nothing Ear 2 have a weight of 9g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Nothing Ear 2 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.

Both JBL Tour Pro 2 and Nothing Ear 2 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Nothing Ear 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nothing Ear 2 by 1.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Nothing Ear 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble

more than that of Nothing Ear 2 by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
