IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP57, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's rating for solids indicates 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 are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that

ANC uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX'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 while at it. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.

both devices can generate equal treble
