Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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 prefer a lower weight best for the reason that 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 case since they have no wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
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, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate 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
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time. Beats Studio Buds sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. 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 earbuds, the unit size dictates 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
, 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 indicate that they deliver better quality sound. Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high human 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 level of pressure 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 something is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective 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 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 requires fewer chargings. Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, 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 manufacturer, and Beats Studio Buds's case has a full charge of 16 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beats Studio Buds's battery.
It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Beats Studio Buds by 0.5 hours
Beats Studio Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state 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, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. The Beats Studio Buds have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Beats Fit Pro too use USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of 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 movement between devices placed in close proximity, 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 that is 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Studio Buds will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend 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 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.
While 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. Beats Studio Buds have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the desired sound. The Beats Fit Pro too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.
