Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 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
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds with a difference -130.75g 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 matter since they don't have cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds . Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds . Raycon Fitness Earbuds are resistant to sweat Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant. Galaxy Buds 2 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, what this means is that Raycon Fitness Earbuds's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2mm
, 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. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that Raycon Fitness Earbuds can make sound with a juicier bass than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Raycon Fitness Earbuds generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
