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 means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro'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. In comparison to the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,

The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
