IP ratings is the rating 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 represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.

ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Tune 225TWS stay well in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.

both devices can produce equal bass
JBL Tune 225TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
