IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ100's rating is read as, the first number 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, JLab Epic Air Sport have a rating of IP66 meaning that
they are completely dust proof
and that of liquids is that,
JLab Epic Air Sport has a higher liquid rating than Technics EAH AZ100
The Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The JLab Epic Air Sport, at 20g
are heavier than the Technics EAH AZ100 by of 8.2g
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 cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JLab Epic Air Sport also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ100 have sweat resistance
JLab Epic Air Sport's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal 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 JLab Epic Air Sport and Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. JLab Epic Air Sport too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes.
The Technics EAH AZ100 and JLab Epic Air Sport operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time. The Technics EAH AZ100 sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. The Technics EAH AZ100 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. JLab Epic Air Sport driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller 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 usually have difficulty producing 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 inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JLab Epic Air Sport's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ100 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Epic Air Sport
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JLab Epic Air Sport's battery life is
more than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ100's case is said to have a full charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. JLab Epic Air Sport's charging case has a battery life of 55 hours,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 37 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ100's battery.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. JLab Epic Air Sport takes 3 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 1 hours
Technics EAH AZ100 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and case.
JLab Epic Air Sport too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. Technics EAH AZ100 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. JLab Epic Air Sport too support 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 enables data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JLab Epic Air Sport has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Technics EAH AZ100
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Technics EAH AZ100 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. JLab Epic Air Sport 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 can provide 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 MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The JLab Epic Air Sport 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. 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, providing high-resolution audio. Technics EAH AZ100 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The JLab Epic Air Sport too have a noise-canceling microphone.
