Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 5 means 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, OnePlus Buds Z2 have a rating of IP55 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a weight of 9.94g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
OnePlus Buds Z2, at 9g
weigh less than the Soundpeats Mini Pro with a difference -0.94g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
OnePlus Buds Z2 also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Soundpeats Mini Pro have sweat resistance
OnePlus Buds Z2's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc

The OnePlus Buds Z2 also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Soundpeats Mini 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 earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

Soundpeats Mini Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the device.
OnePlus Buds Z2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 1mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The OnePlus Buds Z2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
OnePlus Buds Z2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
OnePlus Buds Z2's battery life is
equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

OnePlus Buds Z2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Soundpeats Mini Pro will work fine with your MacBook. If you are planning 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 OnePlus Buds Z2 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.
