IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Sony WF C700N's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Sony WF C700N, OnePlus Buds Z2 have a rating of IP55 meaning 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 that of liquids is that,

both devices can produce equal bass
Sony WF C700N's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
OnePlus Buds Z2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
