Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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.
In comparison to the Beats Studio Buds, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that

The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 2.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

both devices can produce equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds's measurement is 100.5dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
