Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Devialet Gemini 2's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Devialet Gemini 2, Beats Fit Pro 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
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
weigh less than the Devialet Gemini 2 with a difference -0.8g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini 2 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro have wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Devialet Gemini 2 have sweat resistance
Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Devialet Gemini 2's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Beats Fit Pro and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The Devialet Gemini 2 and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Both Beats Fit Pro, and Devialet Gemini 2 have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 0.5mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini 2 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini 2's measurement is 120dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Devialet Gemini 2's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. 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.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and Devialet Gemini 2's case has a charge of 17 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 4 hours
