Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus'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 the second number of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres. Compared to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a lower liquid rating than Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a weight of 9g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, at 12g
are heavier than the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by of 3g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the two earbuds together.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have sweat resistance
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a unit size of 9mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 0.2mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus make sound with a juicier bass than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery life is
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 0.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case is said to have a full charge of 12.5 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 7.5 hours
It requires 2.5 hours to fully charge the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1 hours
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your earbuds and charging case. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.

Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX support AAC as well.
Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce noise from the desired sound. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX too have a noise-canceling microphone.
Especially useful in noisy environments. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest mic frequency is 8,000Hz, high frequencies are better for recording treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is known as its upper limiting frequency.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest mic frequency is 100Hz, low frequencies are better for recording bass. The lowest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its lower limiting frequency. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of your surrounding, say you’re having a jog but still want to hear traffic.
