IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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 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,

ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of 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 earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments 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
The sound pressure level, 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. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective 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 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. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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 manufacturer, and the Beats Studio Buds's case is said to have a charge of 16 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
