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

IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

Scoring IP57, the Beoplay EX's rating for solids indicates 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, Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) has a lower liquid rating than Beoplay EX Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

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 must have no wires linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds . Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds . Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, 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. Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and Beoplay EX have stereo speakers ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise.

ANC works when, it detects and analyzes 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 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.

Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Beoplay EX and Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. The Beoplay EX stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces background noise while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.

Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines 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 , a common assumption 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 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 generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices make sound with equal bass The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces 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 generate 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

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 playing time. The effect is barely 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 vendor, and Beoplay EX's case is said to have a full charge of 20 hours.

A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge 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 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 earbuds, you just put down on a supported charging pad. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of the earbuds.

The Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and charging case. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.

Beoplay EX support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Beoplay EX have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows 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.

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 a similar 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 are planning 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. 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 help the earbuds to filter out noise. Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made 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 environments. Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, for example when you’re having a run but would still want to be able to hear traffic.
