Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds Pro's rating for solids indicates 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. In comparison to the Google Pixel Buds Pro, Beats Fit Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have a weight of 12.4g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g weigh less than the Google Pixel Buds Pro with a difference -1.2g For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, Google Pixel Buds Pro are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro come with wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit. Beats Fit Pro too have wingtips, by resting against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to match vigorous movement, they are best suited for sports and other physical activities. If used as directed, they secure the earbuds from falling off.
Google Pixel Buds Pro are resistant to sweat Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Google Pixel Buds Pro's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels.
Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time. Google Pixel Buds Pro sit well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device music from leaking out at the same. Both Beats Fit Pro, and Google Pixel Buds Pro have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1.5mm , a common assumption 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices generate 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. Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW.
The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
