IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP57, the 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. 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
The Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh less than the Beoplay EX by -1g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Beoplay EX are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds together. Beoplay EX have sweat resistance
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, 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.
Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Beoplay EX have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Beoplay EX and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Beoplay EX sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Beoplay EX have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of 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
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments 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 before recharge. 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 not 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 charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables 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 requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beoplay EX's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.
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, take note of the charging standard of a device.
Beoplay EX have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your device and charging case. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Beoplay EX use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Beoplay EX have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows 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. 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 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. 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.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beoplay EX
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds. The Beoplay EX have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.
This is useful in noisy environments. Beoplay EX support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
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 would still want to hear traffic. The Beoplay EX support fast charging.
Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to charge a device. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, only that the battery fills up much faster.
For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in 30 minutes. The Beoplay EX support multipoint of 2 connections, this feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
Beoplay EX have a mute function, they have the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have the mute function. It means that you are in position turn off the earbuds' microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice.
