Overall Score 5.1 Represents average audio ecosystem compatibility score.
Overall Score 4.5 Represents average audio ecosystem compatibility score.
IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Powerbeats Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number 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 Powerbeats Pro, Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 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
Powerbeats Pro have a weight of 20.3g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Powerbeats Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Powerbeats Pro have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Powerbeats Pro have sweat resistance
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc

An earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Powerbeats Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro and Powerbeats Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Powerbeats Pro sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro, and Powerbeats Pro have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Powerbeats Pro have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro driver unit is 13mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Powerbeats Pro by 1mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Powerbeats Pro can produce a juicier bass than the Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Powerbeats Pro's battery life is 9 hours, 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.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's battery life is
equal to that of the Powerbeats Pro
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Powerbeats Pro by 1.3 hours
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's battery power is 60mAh, battery power, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
The Powerbeats Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and case.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery.

Powerbeats Pro have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of Powerbeats Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Powerbeats Pro have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Powerbeats Pro
Powerbeats 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 the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Powerbeats Pro will work well with your iPad. 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 Powerbeats Pro have 2 microphones.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
Powerbeats Pro support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge the earbuds.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, just that the battery fills up much faster. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in 30 minutes.
