IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
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. In comparison to the Beoplay EX, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Beats Fit Pro has a lower liquid rating than Beoplay EX
The Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g weigh less than the Beoplay EX with a difference -0.8g True wireless devices 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 a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during 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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
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 device volume to overcome background noise. The Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes.
The Beoplay EX and Beats Fit Pro work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Beoplay EX sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Beoplay EX driver unit is 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 makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 0.3mm , 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices generate equal treble The 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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Beats Fit Pro's battery life is less than that of Beoplay EX by 1 hours . Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and the Beoplay EX's case has a full charge of 20 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.

Beats Fit Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5, older than that of Beoplay EX . Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Beoplay EX have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Beats Fit Pro have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the Beoplay EX Beoplay EX support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beoplay EX will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Beats Fit Pro 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). The Beoplay EX have 6 microphones. While the Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6, equal to that of the Beoplay EX .
