Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4'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 value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have a weight of 12.4g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g
are lighter than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 with a difference -1.6g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 1mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 produce a juicier bass than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high human 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
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
