IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds Pro's rating is read as, the first number 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.
In comparison to the Google Pixel Buds Pro, Beats Fit 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,

Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1.5mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
