Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Devialet Gemini's rating is read as, the first value 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, 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
The Devialet Gemini have a weight of 8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh more than the Devialet Gemini by of 3g

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have stereo speakers
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that you are likely to lose the functionality of your device. Devices that have a higher depth rating are better for swimming.
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Devialet Gemini have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
The Devialet Gemini stay well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .

Devialet Gemini driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Devialet Gemini similar in how loud their sound gets
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Devialet Gemini make sound with a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Devialet Gemini's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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 manufacturer, and Devialet Gemini's case has a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
equal to that of the Devialet Gemini
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Devialet Gemini's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
Devialet Gemini's battery power is 55mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery power is 61mAh.
more than that of Devialet Gemini by 6mAh
Devialet Gemini, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.
