Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Technics Eah Az80 Review

IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

Having a value of 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 the second number of 4 means 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 prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.

The Technics EAH AZ80, at 14g are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex by of 4.4g True wireless devices have no cables linking 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 since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ80 also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the two earbuds together.

JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Technics EAH AZ80's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal 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 independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Technics EAH AZ80 and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.

In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.

JBL Tune Flex have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Technics EAH AZ80 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes.

The JBL Tune Flex and Technics EAH AZ80 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your chill time. JBL Tune Flex sit well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background noise while preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both Technics EAH AZ80, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.

The JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds. 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 mean that they deliver 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 audible 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 make sound with equal bass JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes 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 The sound pressure level, 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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, 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 listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Tune Flex's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge 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 fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. 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 earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and case.

Technics EAH AZ80 too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The JBL Tune Flex use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Technics EAH AZ80 too support USB TYPE-C.

This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets. JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement 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 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 that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.

Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your iPad. If you are planning 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.

While 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 device to filter out noise. JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Technics EAH AZ80 too have a noise-canceling microphone.

Especially useful in noisy areas. The JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount 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 pick up. JBL Tune Flex support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing them The Technics EAH AZ80 support ambient sound mode as well, 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 still want to hear traffic.
