Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the 1More Evo'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 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the 1More Evo, Samsung Galaxy Buds Live have a rating of IPX2 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live has a lower liquid rating than 1More Evo
1More Evo have a weight of 11.4g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, at 11.2g
weigh less than the 1More Evo with a difference -0.2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, 1More Evo are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .

Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and 1More Evo have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The 1More Evo have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of 1More Evo by 2mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
1More Evo's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The 1More Evo's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
1More Evo generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live
The 1More Evo's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live's battery life is
less than that of 1More Evo by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
