IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP57, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's rating for solids indicates 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 the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a weight of 9.4g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 1mm
, as many tend to believe 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Samsung Galaxy Buds3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Samsung Galaxy Buds3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JBL Tour Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

older than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Tour Pro 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 will work well with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The JBL Tour Pro 2 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. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The JBL Tour Pro 2 too have a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy areas. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
