Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Technics Eah Az80 Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).

Scoring IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex'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 low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. In comparison 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 better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

The Technics EAH AZ80, at 14g are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference of 4.4g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat Technics EAH AZ80's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, 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 ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. Technics EAH AZ80 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The JBL Tune Flex and Technics EAH AZ80 work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.

The JBL Tune Flex stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background noise well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of 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 , a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.

JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable 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 SPL, is the pressure level of sound, 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. 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

Technics EAH AZ80's battery life is less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 0.5 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the JBL Tune Flex's case has a charge of 24 hours.

A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Technics EAH AZ80's charging case has a battery life of 17.5 hours, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 6.5 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune Flex's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
