Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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 value 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 Active 75t 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 reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Jabra Elite Active 75t driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means 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 find it difficult to produce 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 component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Elite Active 75t'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 tells how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
