IP ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX7, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro'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 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Beats Fit 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,

Both Beats Fit Pro and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 0.5mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's measurement is 25dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Beats Fit Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 101.3dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3 hours

equal to that of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro will work well with your MacBook. If you intend 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 Beats Fit Pro support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have 6 microphones.
While the Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
