Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX5, the 1More Aero'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 1More Aero, Technics EAH AZ60 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Technics EAH AZ60 has a lower liquid rating than 1More Aero
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ60 also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
1More Aero have sweat resistance
Technics EAH AZ60's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, what this means is that 1More Aero's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Technics EAH AZ60 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
1More Aero have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
1More Aero sit well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
1More Aero 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 device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 2mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
The 1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
1More Aero's battery life is 7 hours, a device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Technics EAH AZ60's battery life is
more than that of 1More Aero by 0.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the 1More Aero's case is said to have a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Technics EAH AZ60's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
more than that of 1More Aero by 4 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ60's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
The 1More Aero have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.
Technics EAH AZ60 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The 1More Aero use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Technics EAH AZ60 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
1More Aero have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Technics EAH AZ60 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
1More Aero have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
1More Aero 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 1More Aero will work well with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Technics EAH AZ60 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.
The Technics EAH AZ60 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
The 1More Aero have 6 microphones.
The Technics EAH AZ60 microphones are 8,
more than that of 1More Aero by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
1More Aero use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce noise from the desired sound.
The Technics EAH AZ60 too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy environments.
The 1More Aero support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
