Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds'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 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,
Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a higher liquid rating than JBL Wave Beam
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JBL Wave Beam also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds . Raycon Fitness Earbuds have sweat resistance JBL Wave Beam's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Raycon Fitness Earbuds's speakers deliver sound from independent 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 Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.

making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that Raycon Fitness Earbuds produce a juicier bass than the JBL Wave Beam The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. 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 The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
