Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Samsung 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,
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Beats Fit Pro

Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
weigh more than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro with a difference of 0.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds .

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 0.5mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Samsung 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.
How loud something is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is 8 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, 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. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case is said to have a charge of 18 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3 hours

equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro will work well with your MacBook. 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 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. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have 6 microphones. The Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
