Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds +'s rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Beats Studio Buds +, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,

Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Beats Studio Buds + have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds + by 1.8mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Beats Studio Buds +'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 on its way through.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Beats Studio Buds +'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds +'s measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
