Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80'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 Technics EAH AZ80, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,

The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
