IP ratings is the rank 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 represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
In comparison to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, Powerbeats 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,
Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a higher liquid rating than Powerbeats Pro
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Powerbeats Pro, at 20.3g
weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds with a difference -121.45g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Powerbeats Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
The Powerbeats Pro come with wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds are resistant to sweat
Powerbeats Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Powerbeats Pro too are dustproof and water-resistant, which means that they can prevent water and dust from entering the interior of the devices and damaging the interior components
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Powerbeats Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 device volume to overcome background noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 4mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Powerbeats Pro's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
