Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes 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 of liquids 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 Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Nothing Ear 2 have a rating of IP54 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Nothing Ear 2 has a lower liquid rating than Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 2.6mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus can make sound with a juicier bass than the Nothing Ear 2
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Nothing Ear 2's battery life is
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a charge of 12.5 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. Nothing Ear 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 17.5 hours
