IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Fit Pro's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value 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 take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
weigh more than the Beats Fit Pro with a difference of 1.4g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Beats Fit Pro are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
An earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Beats Fit Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also have stereo speakers
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that they will be spoilt. Devices that can withstand more water pressure are better for diving.
ANC utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Beats Fit Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
The Beats Fit Pro sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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.
The Beats Fit Pro have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is 7 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery life is
more than that of Beats Fit Pro by 1 hours
. 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 no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Beats Fit Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of Beats Fit Pro by 1 hours
It takes 1 hours to fully charge the Beats Fit Pro's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Beats Fit Pro
Beats Fit Pro's battery capacity is 55mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery power is 61mAh.
more than that of Beats Fit Pro by 6mAh

equal to that of the Beats Fit Pro
Beats Fit Pro 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 Beats Fit Pro will work fine with your MacBook. 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds 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.
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. Beats Fit Pro have a latency of 70ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
The Beats Fit Pro have 6 microphones.
While the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Fit Pro
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
