Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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.

ANC uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC 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 noise.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
