Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection 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, 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
Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g weigh less than the Beoplay EX with a difference -0.8g 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 matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Beoplay EX have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Beats Fit Pro and Beoplay EX have stereo speakers ANC utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Beats Fit Pro too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes.
Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time. Beoplay EX sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both Beats Fit Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The 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 the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and 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 means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable 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 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 . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and the Beoplay EX's case is said to have a full charge of 20 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. Beats Fit Pro 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 simply place down on a supported charging pad. The 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 case.
Beats Fit Pro 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. The Beoplay EX use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Beats Fit Pro too support USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of 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 close proximity, 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 connecting 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 iPhone. If you intend 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 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. The 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 Beats Fit Pro 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. The Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
The Beats Fit Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas. Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing them The Beats Fit Pro support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of your surrounding, say you’re having a jog but would still want to hear traffic.
Beoplay EX support fast charging. Usually, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the time it takes to fully charge the earbuds. Also the Beats Fit Pro support fast charging.
