Technics Eah Az100 Vs. Jbl Tune Flex Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means 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 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, JBL Tune Flex 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 Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

The JBL Tune Flex, at 9.6g weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ100 by -2.2g True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds . Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat JBL Tune Flex'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 independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.

The JBL Tune Flex also have stereo speakers ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.

Technics EAH AZ100 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 2mm , 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.

JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce 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 changes to the signal while at it. JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Technics EAH AZ100 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune Flex The Technics EAH AZ100's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.

The JBL Tune Flex 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. 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.
