IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring 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 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, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
are lighter than the Beoplay EX with a difference -1g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together. Beoplay EX are resistant to sweat
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , 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 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
Beoplay EX sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. 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 device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 0.8mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
equal to that of the Beoplay EX
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Beoplay EX's case has a full charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of Beoplay EX by 2 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
The Beoplay EX, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a supported charging pad. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of the earbuds.
Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and charging case. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
Beoplay EX use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have 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. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of Beoplay EX
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Beoplay EX have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Galaxy Buds 2 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 provides 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 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 Galaxy Buds 2 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).
The Beoplay EX have 6 microphones.
Galaxy Buds 2 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 noise. The Beoplay EX use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy areas. The Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music while being aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a jog but still want to be able to hear traffic. Beoplay EX support fast charging.
Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, just that the battery fills up much faster.
For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just thirty minutes. Beoplay EX support multipoint of 2 connections, this feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
Beoplay EX have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have this function. It means that you unilaterally turn off the device's microphone, but still hear the other party talk.
The Beoplay EX, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a control panel on them. Beoplay EX have a warranty period of 3 Years, the period of time that warrant free repair and adjustment services in case of a malfunction occurring under normal use that has followed instruction manuals.
Beoplay EX have voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information via audio messages, say if there is a problem with the connection. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have voice prompts .i.e the earbuds will notify you when the battery is running low, and it's time to recharge them.
Beoplay EX come with a special pouch. Carrying earphones without a case, or putting them in your bag without a cover can easily put them at risk of getting damaged. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have a case included, which is useful for safe transportation.
