Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX5, the Boult Audio Z40's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres. Compared to the Boult Audio Z40, 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,
Nothing Ear 1 has a lower liquid rating than Boult Audio Z40
The Boult Audio Z40 have a weight of 40g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g
are lighter than the Boult Audio Z40 with a difference -30.6g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Boult Audio Z40 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .

Boult Audio Z40's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Boult Audio Z40's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes 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 implies that
both devices generate equal treble
