IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini 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 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.
Compared to the Soundpeats Mini Pro, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Soundpeats Mini Pro has a higher liquid rating than Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a weight of 9.94g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, at 12.5g
are heavier than the Soundpeats Mini Pro by of 2.56g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have wingtips, these are commonly used for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have sweat resistance

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

The Soundpeats Mini Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II driver unit is 9.3mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 0.7mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is 7 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's battery life is
less than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 1 hours
. Every 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.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Soundpeats Mini Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 14 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
