IP ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values 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 IP57, the Beoplay EX'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 the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Beoplay EX, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro has a lower liquid rating than Beoplay EX
The Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g have the same weight as the Beoplay EX True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds . Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds . Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Beoplay EX have stereo speakers, what this means is that Beoplay EX's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Beoplay EX have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Beoplay EX and Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Beoplay EX stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 1.4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass The Beoplay EX'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 while at it. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beoplay EX Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is equal to that of the Beoplay EX . Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Beoplay EX's case has a charge of 20 hours.
