IP ratings refer to the rank 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 protection 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 the second number of 7 means 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, JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have a rating of IP66 meaning that
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a lower dust resistance than JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC

The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 3mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. Samsung Galaxy Buds3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
