IP ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. 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 value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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 because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
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 should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Google Pixel Buds Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit. Beats Fit Pro too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to match vigorous movement, wingtips come in handy for sports and other physical activities. If used as directed, they prevent the earbuds from falling off.
Google Pixel Buds Pro are resistant to sweat
Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Google Pixel Buds Pro's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Beats Fit Pro and Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels.
Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time. The Google Pixel Buds Pro sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces background noise well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Google Pixel Buds Pro have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound made 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 deliver better quality sound.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, 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. How loud a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. 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 allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1 hours
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Google Pixel Buds Pro

To charge the device, you just place down on a compatible charging pad. The Google Pixel Buds Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights show the charging status of your device and case.
Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Google Pixel Buds Pro have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Beats Fit Pro too use USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets. Google Pixel Buds Pro have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Beats Fit Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the Google Pixel Buds Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Beats Fit Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Google Pixel Buds Pro
Google Pixel Buds Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Google Pixel Buds Pro will work fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Beats Fit Pro support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. The Google Pixel Buds Pro support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony
which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz.
It can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio. The Google Pixel Buds Pro have 6 microphones. While the Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Google Pixel Buds Pro
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
