Beats Studio Pro are foldable, which makes them more portable.
Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Beats Studio Pro have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.
Beats Studio Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Beats Studio Pro's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Sony WH CH520 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal 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 zero resulting in a reduced level of 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. 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 Sony WH CH520 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component 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. Sony WH CH520's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
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. Sony WH CH520's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
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.
Sony WH CH520 driver unit is 30mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Pro by 10mm
, as many tend to believe 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 deliver better sound. Neodymium magnets if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power.
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. Sony WH CH520 have it too, devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets.
It is also known that they have more bass and clear high notes. If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Beats Studio Pro's battery life is 40 hours
Sony WH CH520's battery life is 40 hours. Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first.
But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to. It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Beats Studio Pro's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.
Sony WH CH520 takes 3 hours to fully charge the battery
Beats Studio Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your headphones. Sony WH CH520 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your headphones, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. Beats Studio Pro's battery can be recharged and used over again. The Sony WH CH520 too have a rechargeable battery.
Beats Studio Pro can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement not restricted by a cable. The Sony WH CH520 also can be used wirelessly
2.4GHz wireless is used for devices such as headsets such as the Beats Studio Pro, keyboards, and mice similar to Bluetooth but with a proprietary radio frequency. It typically offers better performance than Bluetooth, with low latency and good stability.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Beats Studio Pro has a v5.3
Sony WH CH520 has a Bluetooth version of v5.2. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Beats Studio Pro support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction. Sony WH CH520 too have USB TYPE-C
Beats Studio Pro support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate. The Sony WH CH520 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. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The Beats Studio Pro can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
The Sony WH CH520 can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth
Beats Studio Pro have only 3 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. The Sony WH CH520 microphones are only 1. Beats Studio Pro use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound.
Especially useful in noisy environments. Beats Studio Pro have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice.
Beats Studio Pro support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect. The Sony WH CH520 support multipoint count.
Bluetooth multipoint would come in handy because you can be on one call without missing notifications coming from another device. There is a control panel on the Beats Studio Pro body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to. The Sony WH CH520 too have a control panel on them.
Beats Studio Pro can be used as a headset. A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e.
Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc. Sony WH CH520 can be used as a headset. since they have a built-in microphone
Carrying headphones without a case, or putting them in bags without a casing can easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
The Beats Studio Pro come with their own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
