IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than Nothing Ear 2

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds3 by 0.6mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. 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 alters the signal while at it. Nothing Ear 2'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 measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
