IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Devialet Gemini's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number 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 Devialet Gemini, Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids

Both Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro and Devialet Gemini have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Devialet Gemini have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

The Devialet Gemini have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro driver unit is 13mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini by 3mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini make sound with a juicier bass than the Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro
Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini's measurement is 94dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
