Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX7, the JBL Endurance Peak's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
In comparison to the JBL Endurance Peak, 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 JBL Endurance Peak
JBL Endurance Peak have a weight of 30g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Technics EAH AZ60, at 14g
weigh less than the JBL Endurance Peak by -16g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ60 also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the two earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JBL Endurance Peak are resistant to sweat
Technics EAH AZ60's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
The earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Endurance Peak have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
JBL Endurance Peak have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Technics EAH AZ60 and JBL Endurance Peak have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Endurance Peak have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The JBL Endurance Peak and Technics EAH AZ60 work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time.

JBL Endurance Peak driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak by 2mm
, 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 indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
The JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Endurance Peak's battery life is 4 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. 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 JBL Endurance Peak by 3.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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.

Technics EAH AZ60 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of JBL Endurance Peak
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JBL Endurance Peak have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak
Technics EAH AZ60 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ60 will work well with your iPad. 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 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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
