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

IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

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. In comparison 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 prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g are lighter than the Beoplay EX by -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 since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.

Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices good 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also have stereo speakers ANC uses more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, 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) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

The Beoplay EX have ANC 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 sounds. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels.

Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time. Beoplay EX sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.

The Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds. 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces 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 implies that both devices can produce equal bass The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal treble The 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 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 earbuds, they get a little less listening time.

The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and Beoplay EX's case is said to have a full charge of 20 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many 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 highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended 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 put down on a supported charging pad. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of the earbuds. Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery.

The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and charging case. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery. Beoplay EX have USB TYPE-C, an industry-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 movement 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. 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. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beoplay EX will work well with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android , 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. 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.

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 earbuds to filter out noise. Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.

Especially useful in noisy environments.
