IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. 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 protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Powerbeats Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, 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.
Compared 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 has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite Active 75t
The Powerbeats Pro have a weight of 20.3g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Jabra Elite Active 75t, at 10.1g
are lighter than the Powerbeats Pro with a difference -10.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Powerbeats Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Jabra Elite Active 75t also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.
The Powerbeats Pro come with wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Powerbeats Pro have sweat resistance
Jabra Elite Active 75t's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The Powerbeats Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Powerbeats Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Elite Active 75t and Powerbeats Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Jabra Elite Active 75t have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Powerbeats Pro sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Jabra Elite Active 75t, and Powerbeats Pro have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Powerbeats Pro have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the earbuds.
Jabra Elite Active 75t driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Powerbeats Pro by 6mm
, many people have a misconception 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Powerbeats Pro produce a juicier bass than the Jabra Elite Active 75t
Jabra Elite Active 75t's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
The Powerbeats Pro's battery life is 9 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

less than that of Powerbeats Pro by 1.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and the Powerbeats Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.

equal to that of the Powerbeats Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Powerbeats Pro have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite Active 75t have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Powerbeats Pro
Powerbeats Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Powerbeats Pro will work well with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
