Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. The Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the sound produced by the earbuds.
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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular 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 means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate 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 have to charge the device less often.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
equal to that of the Beoplay EX
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, 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 manufacturer, and the Beoplay EX's case has a full charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging 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 requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.

newer than that of Beoplay EX
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The 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 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 well with your iPhone. 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 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. 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 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beoplay EX
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. Beoplay EX have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the desired sound. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a noise-canceling microphone.
Especially useful in noisy environments. Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing them
