Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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. In comparison 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,
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Beats Studio Buds
The Beats Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh more than the Beats Studio Buds with a difference of 5.9g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The Beats Studio Buds and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
The Beats Studio Buds sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.

The Beats Studio Buds have a unit size of 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of 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
, as many tend to believe 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 are capable of generating 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 frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can 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. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be considered differently by separate people, 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 before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, 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. This is given by the vendor, and the Beats Studio Buds's case has a full charge of 16 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
more than that of Beats Studio Buds by 2 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beats Studio Buds's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. The Beats Studio Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The Beats Studio Buds support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets. The Beats Studio Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of Beats Studio Buds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Beats Studio Buds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Samsung 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. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Studio Buds will work fine with your MacBook.
If you are planning 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 Samsung 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.
Beats Studio Buds have 6 microphones. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise. Beats Studio Buds have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
