Beats Studio Pro have a weight of 260g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use.
We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Technics EAH A800, at 298g
are heavier than the Beats Studio Pro with a difference 38g
Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends. One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into a source device. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Technics EAH A800 are one of those.
Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two numerals The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquid.
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH A800's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Beats Studio Pro are foldable, which makes them more portable. Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
The Technics EAH A800 too can fold up, foldable headphones can reduce their size by 60% to 70% when folded.
By sweat resistance we mean that the wireless earbuds are protected in the presence of low-pressure water jets at any angle, this is determined by the IP Rating of the earbuds. Based on the ingress protection rating of the Technics EAH A800 they do have sweat resistance
Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Beats Studio Pro have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.
Technics EAH A800 with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
Beats Studio Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Beats Studio Pro's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Technics EAH A800 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Studio Pro allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Technics EAH A800 too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The Beats Studio Pro sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Beats Studio Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Technics EAH A800's lowest frequency is at 4Hz, this means that
Beats Studio Pro got a juicier bass than the Technics EAH A800
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Beats Studio Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Technics EAH A800's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH A800 got a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Pro
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Technics EAH A800's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Beats Studio Pro driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Technics EAH A800 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both Technics EAH A800, and Beats Studio Pro similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. Technics EAH A800's impedance is 34Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Beats Studio Pro have this type of magnet.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Beats Studio Pro's battery life is 40 hours
Technics EAH A800's battery life is 50 hours. Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to.
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Beats Studio Pro's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.
Technics EAH A800 takes 3 hours to fully charge the battery
Beats Studio Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your headphones.
A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
Beats Studio Pro's battery can be recharged and used over again.
The Technics EAH A800 too have a rechargeable battery.
Beats Studio Pro can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement.
The Technics EAH A800 also can be used wirelessly
2.4GHz wireless is used for devices such as headsets such as the Beats Studio Pro, keyboards, and mice similar to Bluetooth but with a proprietary radio frequency. It typically offers better performance than Bluetooth, with low latency and good stability.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Beats Studio Pro has a v5.3
Technics EAH A800 has a Bluetooth version of v5.2. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Beats Studio Pro support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
Technics EAH A800 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.
Beats Studio Pro support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The Beats Studio Pro can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
The Technics EAH A800 can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth
Being an industry standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc. Technics EAH A800 has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there. All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor.
Beats Studio Pro have only 3 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
The Technics EAH A800 microphones are only 8.
Beats Studio Pro use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
The Technics EAH A800 too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.
Beats Studio Pro have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice.
The Technics EAH A800 too have a mute function.
Beats Studio Pro support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
There is a control panel on the Beats Studio Pro body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
The Technics EAH A800 too have a control panel on them.
Beats Studio Pro can be used as a headset.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
Technics EAH A800 can be used as a headset. since they have a built-in microphone
Carrying headphones without a case, or putting them in bags without a casing can easily put them at risk of getting damaged. The Beats Studio Pro come with their own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
Technics EAH A800 too have a travel bag or case included.
