Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP57, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3's rating for solids indicates 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. In comparison to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher dust resistance than Samsung Galaxy Buds3
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Reflect Aero TWS

The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Samsung Galaxy Buds3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
