Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP57, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX'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 the second number of 7 means 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, 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

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 3.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
