they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has a higher liquid rating than OnePlus Buds Z2

both devices produce 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 generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. OnePlus Buds Z2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
