Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.

making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, 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 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 device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. OnePlus Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 produce a juicier bass than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. OnePlus Buds Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 97dB/mW.
The sound pressure level, a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is 11 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
