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

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered 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, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).

Scoring IP57, the Beoplay EX's rating is read as, the first value 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) The Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g weigh less than the Beoplay EX by -1.4g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the two earbuds . Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Beoplay EX 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 Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and Beoplay EX have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.

Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Beoplay EX and Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Beoplay EX sit well in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device music from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of 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 , 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.

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 measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices can generate 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 usually 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 . Every time you recharge your earbuds, 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. This is given by the manufacturer, and Beoplay EX's case has a charge of 20 hours.

A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several 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 requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of Beoplay EX by 0.5 hours The Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a supported charging pad. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of a device.

Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and case. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.

The Beoplay EX use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. The Beoplay EX have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) has a Bluetooth version of 5.3, newer than that of Beoplay EX . Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

The Beoplay EX have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the Beoplay EX Beoplay EX support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.

Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beoplay EX 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 Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 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 Beoplay EX support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm.

It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps). Beoplay EX have 6 microphones. While the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) microphones are 6, equal to that of the Beoplay EX . More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise. The Beoplay EX have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.
