Technics Eah Az100 Vs. Jlab Go Air Pop Review

IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to 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 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. Compared to the Technics EAH AZ100, JLab Go Air Pop 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 prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

The JLab Go Air Pop, at 7.4g are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ100 by -4.4g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds together. JLab Go Air Pop also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds . Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat JLab Go Air Pop's resistance to sweat makes both devices good 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 independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.

The JLab Go Air Pop also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.

Technics EAH AZ100 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Technics EAH AZ100 stay well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out . Both JLab Go Air Pop, and Technics EAH AZ100 have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.

JLab Go Air Pop driver unit is 6mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4mm , as many tend to believe 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound.

The Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JLab Go Air Pop'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 an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. JLab Go Air Pop's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ100 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air Pop 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.
