IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's rating for solids indicates 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 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 meaning that

Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device. Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 4mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's measurement is 25dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is
more than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the vendor, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case is said to have a charge of 18 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. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3 hours
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.

This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
