IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, 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 (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 7 means 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
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,
Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a lower liquid rating than Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a weight of 11g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g
are lighter than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro with a difference -0.2g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Evolve2 Buds and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the sound made by 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 yes, larger drivers can generate 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 an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it 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
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, 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 before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, 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
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case has a full charge of 18 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several 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 put down on a compatible charging pad.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of the earbuds. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and case.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too support USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers 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.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a maximum range of 20meters,
longer than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 10meters
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have 6 microphones.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.
