Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX2, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against drops falling when tilted at 15° in 4 fixed positions.

The 1More Evo also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
1More Evo's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
1More Evo's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
1More Evo produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2
