IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance 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.
In comparison to the Soundpeats Mini Pro, Skullcandy Indy Fuel 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 prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel, at 57g
are heavier than the Soundpeats Mini Pro with a difference of 47.06g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Skullcandy Indy Fuel also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel come with wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
Soundpeats Mini Pro are resistant to sweat
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Skullcandy Indy Fuel are both dustproof and water-resistant.
The earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Soundpeats Mini Pro have an earbud foam for some people it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Soundpeats Mini Pro's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Skullcandy Indy Fuel and Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Soundpeats Mini Pro sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 4mm
, as many tend to believe 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 produce better quality sound.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel'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 makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure 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.
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.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's battery life is
less than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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.

older than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Soundpeats Mini Pro support AAC, a codec 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 Soundpeats Mini Pro will work well with your iPhone. 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.
