Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP57, the Bang & Olufsen 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 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, Powerbeats Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Powerbeats Pro has a lower liquid rating than Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
are heavier than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by of 8.3g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have sweat resistance
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Bang & Olufsen 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. Both Powerbeats Pro and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both Powerbeats Pro, and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which means that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound produced by the device. Powerbeats Pro driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2.8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Powerbeats Pro can make sound with a juicier bass than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. 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.
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. Powerbeats Pro's battery life is
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's case is said to have a full charge of 20 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Powerbeats Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 4 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. Powerbeats Pro takes 0.7 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 0.8 hours
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply put down on a compatible charging pad.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case. Powerbeats Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. The Bang & Olufsen 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. Powerbeats Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Powerbeats Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX will work fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Powerbeats 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. Bang & Olufsen 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).
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have 6 microphones. Powerbeats Pro microphones are 2,
less than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing them
