The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device. Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 2mm
, a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates 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 produce equal bass
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ80 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's battery life is 15 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
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 JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 7.5 hours
. Each 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.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's case has a charge of 55 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several 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 JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 37.5 hours
