The Beats Fit Pro offer superior performance compared to the Studio Buds due to their sporty design, stable in-ear fit due to the fins, better mic performance, and the H1 chip for seamless pairing with your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook.

IP ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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 Studio Buds, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,

Beats Studio Buds 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 Beats Fit Pro and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Beats Fit Pro too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1.3mm
, many people have a misconception 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 deliver better quality sound.
Beats Studio Buds'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.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds's measurement is 100.5dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
