which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 1mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 can produce a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, OnePlus Buds Pro 2's measurement is 97dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's battery life is 9 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
less than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, 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.
