Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Technics Eah Az80 Review

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Having a value of IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the JBL Tune Flex, Technics EAH AZ80 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust) and that of liquids is that, they both have the same rating against liquids The JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Technics EAH AZ80, at 14g weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex by of 4.4g True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Technics EAH AZ80's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tune Flex's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.

Both Technics EAH AZ80 and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The Technics EAH AZ80 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.

JBL Tune Flex sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out . Both Technics EAH AZ80, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the device.

Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2mm , as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.

Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices can produce equal bass The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ80 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune Flex The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune Flex's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

The JBL Tune Flex's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer 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.
