IP ratings is the level 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 refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Urbanista Copenhagen'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.
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Urbanista Copenhagen are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
JBL Tour Pro 2 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Urbanista Copenhagen have sweat resistance
JBL Tour Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Urbanista Copenhagen have stereo speakers, what this means is that Urbanista Copenhagen's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Tour Pro 2 and Urbanista Copenhagen have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Tour Pro 2 sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment noise well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.

JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 2mm
, a common assumption 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 produce better quality sound.
The Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Urbanista Copenhagen's measurement is 115dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Urbanista Copenhagen'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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

more than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Urbanista Copenhagen's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Tour Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,

newer than that of Urbanista Copenhagen
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
JBL Tour Pro 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Urbanista Copenhagen
Urbanista Copenhagen 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 a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Urbanista Copenhagen 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.
The Urbanista Copenhagen have 4 microphones.
JBL Tour Pro 2 microphones are 6,
more than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
