Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust 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 resistance 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 the second value 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,

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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 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 indicates how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
