IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the Nothing Ear 2's rating for solids indicates 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, 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 Nothing Ear 2, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Nothing Ear 2 has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Nothing Ear 2 have a weight of 9g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
are heavier than the Nothing Ear 2 by of 2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Nothing Ear 2 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.

ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Nothing Ear 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels.
The Nothing Ear 2 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. The Nothing Ear 2 stay well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.

The Nothing Ear 2 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nothing Ear 2 by 1.6mm
, 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 deliver better quality sound. Nothing Ear 2'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 on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Nothing Ear 2's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Nothing Ear 2 by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and the Nothing Ear 2's case is said to have a charge of 30 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of Nothing Ear 2 by 12 hours
It requires 1 hours to fully charge the Nothing Ear 2's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. The Nothing Ear 2, the device supports wireless charging.
To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a supported charging pad. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of a device. Nothing Ear 2 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your earbuds and charging case. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. Nothing Ear 2 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. The Nothing Ear 2 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
equal to that of the Nothing Ear 2
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Nothing Ear 2 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Nothing Ear 2
Nothing Ear 2 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Nothing Ear 2 will work fine with your MacBook.
If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 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 Nothing Ear 2 have 6 microphones. While the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Nothing Ear 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise. The Nothing Ear 2 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments. Nothing Ear 2 microphone sensitivity is measured at -40dBV/Pa.
The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can pick up.
