IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the 1More Aero, Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
1More Aero has a higher liquid rating than Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a weight of 10.6g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The 1More Aero have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 1mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

The 1More Aero'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.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
