Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Fit Pro's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Beats Fit Pro, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a higher liquid rating than Beats Fit Pro
Beats Fit Pro have a weight of 11.2g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
are heavier than the Beats Fit Pro by of 1.4g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Beats Fit Pro are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .

Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and Beats Fit Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Fit Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Fit Pro by 1.5mm
, 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 indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
