IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to 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 for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a higher liquid rating than Beats Studio Buds
The Beats Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g are heavier than the Beats Studio Buds with a difference of 7.5g For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also have stereo speakers ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it.
