Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Technics Eah Az80 Review

IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).

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 better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.

Technics EAH AZ80, at 14g weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex by of 4.4g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ80 also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds . 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, devices with stereo 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 ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.

JBL Tune Flex have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The Technics EAH AZ80 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.

JBL Tune Flex sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both Technics EAH AZ80, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with 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 , 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 it's true that, 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 a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. 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 tells how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ80 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune Flex SPL, is the level of pressure 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. 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 commonly 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 . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Tune Flex's case has a charge of 24 hours.

A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many 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 recommended to charge fully 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 shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your device and charging case. Technics EAH AZ80 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.

JBL Tune Flex support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Technics EAH AZ80 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.

The JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, 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. The JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance connecting 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 MacBook. 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. JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones. While the Technics EAH AZ80 microphones are 8, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4 . More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.

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

The 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 measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.

JBL Tune Flex support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing the earbuds The Technics EAH AZ80 support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, for example when you’re having a run but still want to hear traffic.
