Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance 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 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, Sony WF C500 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids

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. The Sony WF C500 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Beats Studio Buds stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment noise well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.

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 earbuds, its size determines the sound produced by the device. Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 2.4mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean 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 recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sony WF C500'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 measures if and how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, 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. 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

more than that of Beats Studio Buds by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.

Sony WF C500 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Beats Studio Buds have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Sony WF C500 too use 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 movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sony WF C500 has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Beats Studio Buds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Beats Studio Buds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Sony WF C500 have a maximum range of 9meters,
less than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1meters
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 well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Sony WF C500 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. Sony WF C500 microphones are 2,
less than that of Beats Studio Buds by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
Beats Studio Buds have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce noise from the desired sound. The Beats Studio Buds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
