Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring 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, 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,
Beats Studio Buds has a lower liquid rating than Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent 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 utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Beats Studio Buds and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Beats Studio Buds have a unit size of 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound made by 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
, 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 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 device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate 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.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get 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 before recharge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
