Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds Pro'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 Google Pixel Buds Pro, Beoplay EX have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1.8mm
, many people have a misconception 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 imply that they produce better quality sound.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is 11 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Beoplay EX's battery life is
less than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Google Pixel Buds Pro's case has a full charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. Beoplay EX's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
equal to that of the Google Pixel Buds Pro
