IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given 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 protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP55, the OnePlus Buds Pro 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 medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, Beats Studio Buds have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Beats Studio Buds

Both Beats Studio Buds and OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since 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 OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 2.8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Studio Buds
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Buds
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, OnePlus Buds Pro 2's measurement is 97dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
