IP ratings refer to the level 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 means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, Beoplay EX have a rating of IP57 meaning 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 that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.

Raycon Fitness Earbuds are resistant to sweat Beoplay EX's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 Beoplay EX also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The Beoplay EX too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels.

Raycon Fitness Earbuds make sound with a juicier bass than the Beoplay EX
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
