Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Nuraphone NuraTrue's rating for solids indicates 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 Nuraphone NuraTrue, Technics EAH AZ60 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 Nuraphone NuraTrue have a weight of 14.8g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.

Technics EAH AZ60's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Nuraphone NuraTrue have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Technics EAH AZ60 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
Nuraphone NuraTrue stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's battery life is 6 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Technics EAH AZ60's battery life is
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 1.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the vendor, and the Nuraphone NuraTrue's case has a charge of 18 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 AZ60's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
more than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 7 hours
