IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the JBL Tune 130NC'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.
In comparison to the JBL Tune 130NC, Soundpeats Mini Pro have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
