Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
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. Compared to the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids

Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively counter noise.
ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
