Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds Pro's rating is read as, the first number 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, 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
Google Pixel Buds Pro have a weight of 12.4g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g weigh less than the Google Pixel Buds Pro by -1.2g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Google Pixel Buds Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables.

Google Pixel Buds Pro have sweat resistance Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Beats Fit Pro and Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.

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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal treble The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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 taken differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
