Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP57, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's rating is read as, the first value 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 the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has a lower liquid rating than Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
have the same weight as the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables.

Both Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the device. Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 1.4mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
