IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
In comparison to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, JBL Wave Beam have a rating of IP54 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,
JBL Wave Beam has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
JBL Wave Beam, at 8.8g
weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds by -132.95g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .

Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 JBL Wave Beam also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation 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.
The JBL Wave Beam too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds and JBL Wave Beam work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.

However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Wave Beam
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Beam
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
