IP ratings is 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 such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's rating for solids indicates 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.
Compared to the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds, JBL Endurance Peak have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak
JBL Endurance Peak have a weight of 30g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak come with wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have sweat resistance
JBL Endurance Peak's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc

An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Endurance Peak have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Endurance Peak and Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Endurance Peak have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have a unit size of 13mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device.
JBL Endurance Peak driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds by 3mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak can produce a juicier bass than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22,000Hz, this implies that
JBL Endurance Peak can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's measurement is 91dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's battery life is 3 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Endurance Peak's battery life is
more than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's case has a full charge of 13 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
