Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids 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, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the Nothing Ear 2'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 can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Nothing Ear 2, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Nothing Ear 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nothing Ear 2 by 5.6mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

both devices can produce equal bass
Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
