Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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. In comparison to the Beats Studio Buds, Galaxy Buds 2 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,
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Beats Studio Buds

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh more than the Beats Studio Buds with a difference of 5.9g

Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation 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 sounds. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels.

The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1.8mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce 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 makes any changes to the signal while at it. Galaxy Buds 2 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 indicates how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, 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. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is barely 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 is said to have a charge of 16 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.

newer than that of Beats Studio Buds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Beats Studio Buds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Galaxy Buds 2 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 well with your MacBook.
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 Galaxy Buds 2 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.
The Beats Studio Buds have 6 microphones. While the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise. Beats Studio Buds have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
