Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, 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) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

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 device, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Samsung 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, 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 a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung 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 shows how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard 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.
