Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

The Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high human 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 produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure 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 separate persons, 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 for a single charge.
