IP ratings is the level of protection offered 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 say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
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. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Buds3, Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
