which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4mm
, a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices 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 changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ100 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
