Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Devialet Gemini 2's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Devialet Gemini 2
Devialet Gemini 2 have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh less than the Devialet Gemini 2 by -1g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Devialet Gemini 2 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro come with wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Devialet Gemini 2 have sweat resistance
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Devialet Gemini 2 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Devialet Gemini 2 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
The Devialet Gemini 2 sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Devialet Gemini 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the device.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Devialet Gemini 2 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 producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
The Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini 2 can produce a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective 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 before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Devialet Gemini 2's case has a charge of 17 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
more than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1 hours
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini 2's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.

equal to that of the Devialet Gemini 2
Devialet Gemini 2 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because 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 Devialet Gemini 2 will work fine with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 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.
