IP ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. In comparison to the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, Beats Studio Buds Plus have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,

Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 by 2.8mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds Plus's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beats Studio Buds Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
