IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, 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).
Having a value of IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes 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 of liquids 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. In comparison to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Beats Fit Pro has a lower liquid rating than Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a weight of 9g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
are heavier than the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by of 2.2g
True wireless devices 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 an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the two earbuds together.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have sweat resistance
Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good 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. The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. The Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning travels.
Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment noise while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus driver unit is 9mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 0.5mm
, 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 yes, 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 inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus can make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, 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. Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The 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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 0.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the manufacturer, and the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a full charge of 12.5 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 8.5 hours
It takes 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 for the first time. Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1.5 hours
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery.
Its lights display the charging state of your device and case. Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
