Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)
Beats Studio Pro
✓
Bose QuietComfort 45 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Beats Studio Pro allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Bose QuietComfort 45 too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Beats Studio Pro
✓
Bose QuietComfort 45 ✓
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The Beats Studio Pro sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Bose QuietComfort 45 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Studio Pro
20Hz
Bose QuietComfort 45 ✗
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Beats Studio Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Highest Frequency
Beats Studio Pro
20,000Hz
Bose QuietComfort 45 ✗
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. Beats Studio Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Driver Unit Size
Beats Studio Pro
40mm
Bose QuietComfort 45 40mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Beats Studio Pro driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Bose QuietComfort 45 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both Bose QuietComfort 45, and Beats Studio Pro similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Beats Studio Pro
✓
Bose QuietComfort 45 ✗
Neodymium magnets if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Beats Studio Pro have this type of magnet.
