making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 0.3mm
, 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 deliver better quality sound.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
