Technics Eah Az100 Vs. Jbl Tune Flex Review

IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).

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 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 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 The Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

The JBL Tune Flex, at 9.6g are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference -2.2g True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. JBL Tune Flex also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Technics EAH AZ100 have sweat resistance JBL Tune Flex's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.

The JBL Tune Flex also have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.

The Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The JBL Tune Flex too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.

Technics EAH AZ100 stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out .

Technics EAH AZ100 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.

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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.

JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass The Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

JBL Tune Flex'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 listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This 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 having to recharge the case itself. JBL Tune Flex'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.

JBL Tune Flex 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 connecting via Bluetooth.

JBL Tune Flex 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. 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 fine with your iPad. If you are planning 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 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. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
