IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Nuraphone NuraTrue'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.
Compared to the Nuraphone NuraTrue, Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus have a rating of IPX2 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus has a lower liquid rating than Nuraphone NuraTrue
Nuraphone NuraTrue have a weight of 14.8g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, at 12.6g
weigh less than the Nuraphone NuraTrue with a difference -2.2g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Nuraphone NuraTrue are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers, what this means is that Nuraphone NuraTrue's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue 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 noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery life is 6 hours, a device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chanrgings.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus's battery life is
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 Nuraphone NuraTrue's case has a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus's charging case has a battery life of 22 hours,
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 4 hours

Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus has a Bluetooth version of 5,
equal to that of the Nuraphone NuraTrue
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Nuraphone NuraTrue
Nuraphone NuraTrue support AAC, a codec that is 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.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Nuraphone NuraTrue will work fine with your iPhone. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus 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.
Latency refers to the time it takes for the audio signal to be transmitted to your earbuds. Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus have a latency of 134ms, a lower latency reduces audio lag and is particularly important when playing games or watching videos.
