IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Scoring IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating is read as, the first number 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 of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The JBL Wave Beam have a weight of 8.8g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables.

JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, 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.
