Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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 the second number 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,
Beats Fit Pro has a lower liquid rating than Beoplay EX
Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g are lighter than the Beoplay EX with a difference -0.8g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the 2 earbuds . Beoplay EX have sweat resistance 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, 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 utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
The Beoplay EX sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out . Both Beats Fit Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device.
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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces 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 means that both devices make sound with equal bass The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies 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 before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, 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 device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. 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 several 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 charge fully 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 device, you just put down on a supported charging pad. The Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your earbuds and case. Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. The Beoplay EX have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.

Beoplay EX have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers 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. 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 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.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beoplay EX will work fine with your MacBook.
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 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 result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
