Ingress protection ratings is the level 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 refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX2, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against drops falling when tilted at 15° in 4 fixed positions.
In comparison to the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, Soundpeats Mini Pro have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 has a lower liquid rating than Soundpeats Mini Pro

Soundpeats Mini Pro, at 9.94g
are lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 with a difference -0.06g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together.
Soundpeats Mini Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are resistant to sweat
Soundpeats Mini Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Soundpeats Mini Pro have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
