Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX5, the Soundpeats Mini Pro'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 5 means 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 prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Technics EAH AZ60, at 14g
are heavier than the Soundpeats Mini Pro by of 4.06g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Soundpeats Mini Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ60 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Soundpeats Mini Pro are resistant to sweat

Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Soundpeats Mini Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the device.
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
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing 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.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is 7 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 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 Soundpeats Mini Pro by 0.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, 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.

equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro 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.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Soundpeats Mini Pro will work fine 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.
