IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini Pro's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
Compared to the Soundpeats Mini Pro, 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,
Technics EAH AZ60 has a lower liquid rating than Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a weight of 9.94g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Technics EAH AZ60, at 14g
weigh more than the Soundpeats Mini Pro by of 4.06g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ60 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds together.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have sweat resistance
Technics EAH AZ60's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
An earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Soundpeats Mini Pro have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Soundpeats Mini Pro'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 AZ60 and Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Soundpeats Mini Pro and Technics EAH AZ60 operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time.
Soundpeats Mini Pro sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both Technics EAH AZ60, and Soundpeats Mini Pro have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro driver unit is 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, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is 7 hours, a device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, 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 Soundpeats Mini Pro by 0.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 Soundpeats Mini Pro's case is said to have a charge of 14 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Technics EAH AZ60's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 11 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Soundpeats Mini Pro'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 AZ60 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 0.5 hours
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery capacity is 45mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.
Technics EAH AZ60 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
Soundpeats Mini Pro support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Technics EAH AZ60 too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro 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 AZ60 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Soundpeats Mini Pro 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 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.
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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
