Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX5, the Boult Audio Z40's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres. Compared to the Boult Audio Z40, Beats Studio Buds have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Beats Studio Buds has a lower liquid rating than Boult Audio Z40
Boult Audio Z40 have a weight of 40g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g
are lighter than the Boult Audio Z40 with a difference -34.9g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Boult Audio Z40 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the two earbuds .

Boult Audio Z40 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds. Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Boult Audio Z40 by 1.8mm
, a common assumption 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. Boult Audio Z40's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Boult Audio Z40's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble

older than that of Boult Audio Z40
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Boult Audio Z40 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Beats Studio Buds have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Boult Audio Z40
Boult Audio Z40 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Boult Audio Z40 will work fine with your iPad.
If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Beats Studio Buds 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.
Boult Audio Z40 have 2 microphones. Beats Studio Buds microphones are 6,
more than that of Boult Audio Z40 by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise. The Boult Audio Z40 have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
