IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the Soundpeats Mini Pro, Beats Studio Buds 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 Studio Buds has a lower liquid rating than Soundpeats Mini Pro
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a weight of 9.94g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g
weigh less than the Soundpeats Mini Pro by -4.84g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds .
Soundpeats Mini Pro are resistant to sweat

ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 1.8mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds's measurement is 100.5dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is 7 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 1 hours
. Each 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.

equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro support AAC, a codec that is 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.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Soundpeats Mini 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.
