IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
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, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus driver unit is 9mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus can produce a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 0.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the vendor, and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a full charge of 12.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 5.5 hours
