Ingress protection ratings is the rank 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 means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX7, the Samsung 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. 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
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a weight of 11g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
weigh more than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by of 0.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds .

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.

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 earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by 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
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure 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 taken differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting 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 for a single charge.
A device's battery life is 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case is said to have 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3 hours
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the device supports wireless charging.

equal to that of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Since 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro will work fine 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. The 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
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds.
