Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Urbanista Copenhagen's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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.
Compared to the Urbanista Copenhagen, Skullcandy Indy Fuel 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

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Urbanista Copenhagen by 6mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Urbanista Copenhagen's measurement is 115dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
