IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ100'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 Technics EAH AZ100, Beats Studio Buds 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 AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g
are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ100 by -6.7g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat
Beats Studio Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Beats Studio Buds and Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Beats Studio Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time. The Technics EAH AZ100 stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. 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 earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 1.8mm
, many people have a misconception 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 indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ100 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Buds
The Technics EAH AZ100's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. 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 Studio Buds's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ100's case has a full 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. Beats Studio Buds's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
less 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 when they have been in storage for long periods.
Beats Studio Buds takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 0.5 hours
The Technics EAH AZ100 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights display the charging state of your earbuds and case. Beats Studio Buds 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.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Beats Studio Buds too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Beats Studio Buds 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.
Beats Studio Buds 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 a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ100 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Beats Studio Buds 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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the desired sound. The Beats Studio Buds too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.

Usually, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to charge a device. Also the Beats Studio Buds support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery fills up much faster.
For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in thirty minutes. Technics EAH AZ100 support multipoint of 3 connections, the multipoint feature allows you connect to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
The Beats Studio Buds have a multipoint count of 2,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 1 only
. Bluetooth multipoint is useful because you can be on one call and not miss notifications coming from another device. The Technics EAH AZ100 have a mute function, they have the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. The Beats Studio Buds also have the mute function.
The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the earbuds' microphone, but still hear the other party's voice.
