Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4'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 can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus have a rating of IPX2 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
