Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring 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 the second value 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, Jabra Elite 7 Pro 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,
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Technics EAH AZ100
Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference -1g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc

Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Technics EAH AZ100 and Jabra Elite 7 Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time. The Technics EAH AZ100 sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds. Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ100 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Elite 7 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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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 manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ100's case has a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 6 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ100's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.

The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your earbuds and charging case. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. Technics EAH AZ100 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have 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 transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Technics EAH AZ100
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Technics EAH AZ100 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ100
Technics EAH AZ100 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since 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 iPhone.
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 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.
