Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. Google Pixel Buds Pro have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound made by the device.
Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1.8mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating 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 a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Beoplay EX'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, 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.
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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Beoplay EX's battery life is
less than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro 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 a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the vendor, 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 many times before having to recharge the case itself.
