Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
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, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g weigh less than the Beoplay EX with a difference -1.2g For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds . Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat Jabra Elite 7 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, 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 Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
Beoplay EX sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background noise while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out . Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. The Beoplay EX have a unit size of 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 earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the earbuds.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 3.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. 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 makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices produce equal treble Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is more than that of Beoplay EX by 1 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing 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 the Beoplay EX's case has a full charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours, more than that of Beoplay EX by 4 hours It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery.

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. Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2, equal to that of the Beoplay EX . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Beoplay EX have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite 7 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beoplay EX will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. 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. Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8, more than that of Beoplay EX by 2 . More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
