IP 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 such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP66, the JLab Epic Air Sport's rating is read as, the first number of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and the second number of 6 means that they can withstand high pressure jet that's 12.5mm diameter, similar to fire hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 meters..

Both Raycon Fitness Earbuds and JLab Epic Air Sport have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise.
ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
