IP ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring 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,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Beats Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
weigh more than the Beats Studio Buds with a difference of 6.1g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Beats Studio Buds are resistant to sweat
Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Beats Studio Buds's 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 utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.

The Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1.3mm
, a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, 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. Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Beats Studio Buds'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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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 vendor, and the Beats Studio Buds's case has a charge of 16 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Beats Studio Buds by 5 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beats Studio Buds's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Beats Studio Buds by 0.5 hours

Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and charging case. Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. The Beats Studio Buds have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Beats Fit Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets. The Beats Studio Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Beats Fit Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Beats Studio Buds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Beats Studio Buds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Beats Fit Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
Beats Studio Buds 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 the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Studio Buds will work fine with your MacBook.
If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Beats Fit 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.
Beats Studio Buds have 6 microphones. The Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise. The Beats Studio Buds use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
The Beats Fit Pro too have a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy areas. The Beats Studio Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
