Beoplay Ex Vs. Apple Airpods Pro (2Nd Gen) Review

Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection 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 of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Beoplay EX, Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a rating of IPX4 meaning that no data available to specify a protection rating and that of liquids is that, Beoplay EX has a higher liquid rating than Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g are lighter than the Beoplay EX with a difference -1.4g For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds together.

Beoplay EX have sweat resistance Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Beoplay EX have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.

Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.

The Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels.

Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time. Beoplay EX sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the device sound from leaking out . Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction this implies that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the device. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 1.8mm , 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.

The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices make sound with equal bass Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can produce equal treble Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 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. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s battery life is less than that of Beoplay EX by 2 hours . Each 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 have shorter listening time.

The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Beoplay EX's case is said to have a charge of 20 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s charging case has a battery life of 24 hours, more than that of Beoplay EX by 4 hours It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery.

It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of Beoplay EX by 0.5 hours Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.
