Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Devialet Gemini 2'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.
Compared to the Devialet Gemini 2, Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus have a rating of IPX2 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus has a lower liquid rating than Devialet Gemini 2

Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini 2 make sound with a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
