IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, 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, followed by the one that refers to resistance 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 the second value of 7 means 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,
Beoplay EX has a higher liquid rating than Beats Fit Pro
The Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g are lighter than the Beoplay EX with a difference -0.8g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the two earbuds . Beoplay EX have sweat resistance Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Beoplay EX have stereo speakers, what this means is that Beoplay EX's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Beoplay EX and Beats Fit Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
The Beoplay EX stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both Beats Fit Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively 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.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by 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
, a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means 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 commonly 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 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 charge of 20 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours, more than that of Beoplay EX by 1 hours It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery.
It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Beats Fit Pro 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 device, you just place down on a supported charging pad.
Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your device and charging case. Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The Beoplay EX use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Beats Fit Pro too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The Beoplay EX have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Beats Fit Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5, older than that of Beoplay EX . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. 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 can provide 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 iPad. If you are planning 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). Beoplay EX have 6 microphones.
The Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6, equal to that of the Beoplay EX . More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise. Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the desired sound. The Beats Fit Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy areas.
