Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Beats Fit Pro
9.5mm
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 6mm
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Skullcandy Indy Fuel by 3.5mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20Hz
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel'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 while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20000Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20000Hz
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Fit Pro
101.3dB/mW
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 105dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Skullcandy Indy Fuel's measurement is 105dB/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 perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
The Beats Fit Pro have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
