Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating is read as, the first number 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, Urbanista Copenhagen 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 a weight of 5.1g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .

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 Urbanista Copenhagen and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud 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 zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Beats Studio Buds sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.

Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 3.8mm
, as many tend to believe 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.
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Urbanista Copenhagen'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 an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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.
Urbanista Copenhagen's sound pressure level measurement is 115dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate persons, 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Urbanista Copenhagen's battery life is
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Each time you recharge your device, 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.
