IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. 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 (water).
Scoring IP57, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a rating of IP55 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus

Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus driver unit is 9mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. Samsung Galaxy Buds3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus can produce a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds3
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Samsung Galaxy Buds3's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
