IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means 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, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 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,

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 make sound with a juicier bass than the Technics EAH AZ80
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, OnePlus Buds Pro 2's measurement is 97dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
