IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
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, Samsung 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
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
are lighter than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX with a difference -1g

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound made by the device.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 0.8mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
Bang & Olufsen 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
equal to that of the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's case is said to have a charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.

equal to that of the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
Bang & Olufsen 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 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX will work fine with your MacBook. 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC as well.
