IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X'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 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 X, JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Endurance Peak 2 has a higher liquid rating than Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X have a weight of 20g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
JBL Endurance Peak 2, at 26g
weigh more than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X with a difference of 6g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.

JBL Endurance Peak 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X 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.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 also have stereo speakers
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise while preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X have a unit size of 13mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X's measurement is 91dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery life is
less than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X 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 a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X's case has a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X by 3 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X by 0.5 hours
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery capacity is 60mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and case.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X support AAC, a codec that is 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 Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X will work fine with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

JBL Endurance Peak 2 microphones are 2,
equal to that of the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X microphone sensitivity is measured at -26dBV/Pa. The magnitude of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can pick up.
While the JBL Endurance Peak 2 microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. Microphone sensitivity is a measurement of a microphone's efficiency on how well it converts acoustical energy to electrical energy.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X support fast charging. Usually, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to fully charge the earbuds.
Also the JBL Endurance Peak 2 too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, only that the battery is filling up much faster. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in thirty minutes.
