Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating for solids indicates 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.
Compared to the Beats Studio Buds, 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,
Beats Studio Buds has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
Beats Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
weigh more than the Beats Studio Buds by of 7.5g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
Beats Studio Buds are resistant to sweat
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also have stereo speakers
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that you are likely to lose the functionality of your device. Devices that can withstand more water pressure are better for diving.
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "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 overcome background noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Beats Studio Buds and Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its 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 Studio Buds by 2.8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes 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 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 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 requires fewer chargings.

equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and the Beats Studio Buds's case is said to have a full charge of 16 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
