Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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, JBL Reflect Aero have a rating of IP68 meaning that
they are completely dust proof
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Reflect Aero has a higher liquid rating than Technics EAH AZ100
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 carry.
The JBL Reflect Aero, at 13g
weigh more than the Technics EAH AZ100 by of 1.2g
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 a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together. JBL Reflect Aero also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ100 have sweat resistance
JBL Reflect Aero's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both JBL Reflect Aero and Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The JBL Reflect Aero too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.
Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time. Technics EAH AZ100 sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Technics EAH AZ100 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. JBL Reflect Aero driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 3.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating 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 generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. JBL Reflect Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ100 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Reflect Aero
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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JBL Reflect Aero's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4 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. This is given by the vendor, and Technics EAH AZ100's case is said to have a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Reflect Aero'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 charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods. JBL Reflect Aero 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.
The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case. JBL Reflect Aero too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. Technics EAH AZ100 support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
JBL Reflect Aero too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets. Technics EAH AZ100 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
JBL Reflect Aero 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. JBL Reflect Aero 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 provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ100 will work fine with your iPhone.
If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. 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.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The JBL Reflect Aero too have a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
