Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Powerbeats Pro's rating is read as, the first value 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.
In comparison to the Powerbeats Pro, Jabra Elite Active 75t have a rating of IP57 meaning 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 that of liquids is that,

Powerbeats Pro 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.
The Jabra Elite Active 75t also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Jabra Elite Active 75t have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

Jabra Elite Active 75t driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Powerbeats Pro by 6mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Powerbeats Pro can produce a juicier bass than the Jabra Elite Active 75t
The Jabra Elite Active 75t's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The Powerbeats Pro's battery life is 9 hours, a device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
