Technics Eah Az100 Vs. Beoplay Ex Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ100'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. In comparison to the Technics EAH AZ100, Beoplay EX have a rating of IP57 meaning that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety and that of liquids is that, Technics EAH AZ100 has a lower liquid rating than Beoplay EX The Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

Beoplay EX, at 12g weigh more than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference of 0.2g True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds . Beoplay EX also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ100 have sweat resistance Beoplay EX's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Technics EAH AZ100's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.

The Beoplay EX also have stereo speakers ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

The Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. The Beoplay EX too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Technics EAH AZ100 and Beoplay EX operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.

The Technics EAH AZ100 sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down your environment noise while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. The Technics EAH AZ100 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are 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.

Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 0.8mm , 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.

Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices can produce equal bass The Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ100 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beoplay EX Technics EAH AZ100's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

Beoplay EX's battery life is less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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 Technics EAH AZ100's case is said to have a charge of 18 hours.

A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Beoplay EX's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours, more than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 2 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ100's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.

Beoplay EX takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 0.5 hours Technics EAH AZ100 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your device and case. Beoplay EX too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.

The Technics EAH AZ100 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Beoplay EX too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.

Technics EAH AZ100 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Beoplay EX has a Bluetooth version of 5.2, older than that of Technics EAH AZ100 . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Technics EAH AZ100 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.

Beoplay EX have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ100 Technics EAH AZ100 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because 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 Technics EAH AZ100 will work well with your iPad. If you are planning 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 Beoplay EX 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 AZ100 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.

Technics EAH AZ100 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the desired sound. The Beoplay EX too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.
