Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that 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 the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.

and that of liquids is that,
Marshall Minor III has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
