IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire
and that of liquids is that,

Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The JLab Go Air also have stereo speakers ANC utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. Raycon Fitness Earbuds stay well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .
