Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the Huawei FreeBuds 5's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes 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 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.
Compared to the Huawei FreeBuds 5, Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 3mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Huawei FreeBuds 5's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Huawei FreeBuds 5 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Energy Sistem Sport 5
Huawei FreeBuds 5's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
