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.

Beats Studio Buds are resistant to sweat Nothing Ear 1's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , 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. The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise.
How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC allowing 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 noise.

Beats Studio Buds'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 on its way through.
Nothing Ear 1'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 shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices 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.
