Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ100'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 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,
Technics EAH AZ100 has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite 7 Pro
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 carry.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference -1g 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 since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the two earbuds . Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat Jabra Elite 7 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, what this means is that Technics EAH AZ100's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro and Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise.
ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time. Technics EAH AZ100 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology 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 produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. 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 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 usually 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 . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. 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 more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many 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 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.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights show the charging status of your device and case. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Technics EAH AZ100 use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
Technics EAH AZ100 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows 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. Technics EAH AZ100 have a 10meters distance connecting 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 that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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 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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio. Technics EAH AZ100 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy areas. The Technics EAH AZ100 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds The Jabra Elite 7 Pro support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic.

Simply use the earbuds app on your phone to play a sound from your earbuds to locate them. Technics EAH AZ100 support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device.
Also the Jabra Elite 7 Pro too 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 30 minutes.
The Technics EAH AZ100 support multipoint of 3 connections, this feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
