Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Studio Buds
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Beats Studio Buds
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✓
Beats Studio Buds stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Beats Studio Buds
8.2mm
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 6mm
The Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 2.2mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20Hz
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20000Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20000Hz
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Studio Buds
100.5dB/mW
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 105dB/mW
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.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
