Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP57, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro's rating is read as, the first number 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 of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Jabra Elite 7 Pro, Sony LinkBuds S have a rating of IPX4 meaning that

The Sony LinkBuds S also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Jabra Elite 7 Pro by 1mm
, 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Sony LinkBuds S produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
