In comparison to the Beats Studio Buds, Nothing Ear 1 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,

ANC uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 3.4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
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 makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
