Both Beats Studio Buds and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

Both Beats Studio Buds, and Devialet Gemini 2 have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Devialet Gemini 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size determines 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 Devialet Gemini 2 by 1.8mm
, a common assumption 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 a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini 2 can produce a juicier bass than the Beats Studio Buds
The Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates 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 implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, 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 Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
