Ingress protection ratings refer to the level 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 refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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.

we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a higher liquid rating than Powerbeats Pro
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.

weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds with a difference -121.45g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the two earbuds together.
Powerbeats Pro have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have sweat resistance

Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Powerbeats Pro too are dustproof and water-resistant, thus preventing water and dust from entering the interior of the devices and damaging the interior components
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 Powerbeats Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 outcompete background sounds.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both Powerbeats Pro, and Raycon Fitness Earbuds have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.

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.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
