Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ100'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 low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the Technics EAH AZ100, Beats Fit Pro 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
Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference -0.6g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat
Beats Fit Pro'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, 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 Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
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. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results 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 as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Technics EAH AZ100 and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.

The Technics EAH AZ100 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 makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 0.5mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, 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 inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ100 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Fit Pro
The 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Technics EAH AZ100's case has a full charge of 18 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 3 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ100's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 1 hours

older than that of Technics EAH AZ100
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Technics EAH AZ100 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Beats Fit Pro 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. 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 Technics EAH AZ100 will work well with your iPhone. 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 Beats Fit Pro 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, which provides high-resolution audio.
