Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Technics Eah Az80 Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Scoring 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 JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

Technics EAH AZ80, at 14g are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex by of 4.4g For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ80 also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.

JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Technics EAH AZ80's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as 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 independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Technics EAH AZ80 also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it.

Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. Technics EAH AZ80 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels.

Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time. The JBL Tune Flex stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise while preventing the device sound from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. The JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device. Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2mm , many people have a misconception 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 imply that they produce better quality sound.

The JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices can produce equal bass JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies 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 earbuds, 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 manufacturer, and the JBL Tune Flex's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours.

A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several 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 takes 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune Flex's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.

Technics EAH AZ80 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery, equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex JBL Tune Flex have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your earbuds and case. Technics EAH AZ80 too have a battery level indicator, these enable you determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.

The JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Technics EAH AZ80 has a Bluetooth version of 5.3, newer than that of JBL Tune Flex . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.

Technics EAH AZ80 have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex JBL Tune Flex support AAC, a codec 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 the same bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your iPhone. If you intend 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 AZ80 support AAC as well.

Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. The JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones. The Technics EAH AZ80 microphones are 8, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4 . More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.

JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The Technics EAH AZ80 too have a noise-canceling type of microphone. This is useful in noisy environments.

JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.
