The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Devialet Gemini have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Devialet Gemini and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini by 0.5mm
, as many tend to believe 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini produce a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
The Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini's measurement is 94dB/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. How loud something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Beats Fit Pro have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
Devialet Gemini's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
