weigh more than the JBL Tour ONE with a difference 30g
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, JBL Tour ONE are one of those. With a detachable cable, Technics EAH A800 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
JBL Tour ONE 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.
Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, JBL Tour ONE's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to microfractures in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or
rendering your headphones defective. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear JBL Tour ONE 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. JBL Tour ONE have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tour ONE'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 A800 and JBL Tour ONE 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 generates a mirror signal 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 hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Tour ONE 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 you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The JBL Tour ONE 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 while at it. JBL Tour ONE's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Technics EAH A800's lowest frequency is at 4Hz, this means that
JBL Tour ONE got a juicier bass than the Technics EAH A800
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour ONE's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, 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
both devices produce equal treble
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, JBL Tour ONE's measurement is 95dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Technics EAH A800's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
JBL Tour ONE 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 JBL Tour ONE 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. JBL Tour ONE's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Technics EAH A800's impedance is 34Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside. 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. JBL Tour ONE's battery life is 50 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 JBL Tour ONE'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
JBL Tour ONE 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. JBL Tour ONE's battery can be recharged and used over again. The Technics EAH A800 too have a rechargeable battery.
JBL Tour ONE can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement not restricted by a cable. The Technics EAH A800 also can be used wirelessly

The JBL Tour ONE 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. JBL Tour ONE 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.
Technics EAH A800 too have this kind of connector
JBL Tour ONE have only 4 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. JBL Tour ONE 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. JBL Tour ONE support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard.
It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic. JBL Tour ONE support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life and improving your listening experience while at it. JBL Tour ONE 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.
