Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, 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 protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds'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 Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds, 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 Technics EAH AZ60 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ60 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds are resistant to sweat
Technics EAH AZ60's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Technics EAH AZ60 and Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ60 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have a unit size of 13mm 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 earbuds.
Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds by 5mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds'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 makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's measurement is 91dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's battery life is 3 hours, these last less 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 have to charge the device less often.
Technics EAH AZ60's battery life is
more than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds by 4.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's case has a full charge of 13 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Technics EAH AZ60's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
more than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds by 12 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.
Technics EAH AZ60 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds by 0.5 hours
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
Technics EAH AZ60 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Technics EAH AZ60 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Technics EAH AZ60 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Technics EAH AZ60 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 Technics EAH AZ60 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
