Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP55, the OnePlus Buds Z2's rating is read as, the first value 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 the second number of 5 means 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.
Compared to the OnePlus Buds Z2, Urbanista Copenhagen have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
OnePlus Buds Z2 has a higher liquid rating than Urbanista Copenhagen
The OnePlus Buds Z2 have a weight of 9g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, OnePlus Buds Z2 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Urbanista Copenhagen also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds .

OnePlus Buds Z2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Urbanista Copenhagen also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
OnePlus Buds Z2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The OnePlus Buds Z2 sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background noise while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
The OnePlus Buds Z2 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of OnePlus Buds Z2 by 1mm
, a common assumption 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 imply that they produce better quality sound.
The OnePlus Buds Z2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The OnePlus Buds Z2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Urbanista Copenhagen's measurement is 115dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
