IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. 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 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 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,
Beats Fit Pro has a lower liquid rating than Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a weight of 11g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
weigh more than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by of 0.2g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds together. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Beats Fit Pro too have wingtips, these rest against the triangular fossa and form a secure fit to match vigorous movement, wingtips are best suited for sports and other physical activities. When applied rightly, they secure the earbuds from falling off. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have sweat resistance
Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's speakers deliver sound from separate 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 uses advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with 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
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing 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.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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. How loud something is can be taken differently by separate 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 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 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 earbuds, 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 manufacturer, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case has a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging 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

Beats Fit Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Beats Fit Pro too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Beats Fit Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Beats Fit Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro will work fine with your iPhone.
If you are planning on using these with Android , 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.
The 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 noise. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
