Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection 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, Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Technics EAH AZ100 has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The 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 transport.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds, at 141.75g are heavier than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference of 129.95g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds together. Raycon Fitness Earbuds also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds . Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat Raycon Fitness Earbuds's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal 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 separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. Raycon Fitness Earbuds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Technics EAH AZ100 and Raycon Fitness Earbuds work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
The Technics EAH AZ100 sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both Raycon Fitness Earbuds, and Technics EAH AZ100 have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The Technics EAH AZ100 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds. Raycon Fitness Earbuds driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 2mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
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 makes any changes to the signal while at it. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that Raycon Fitness Earbuds make sound with a juicier bass than the Technics EAH AZ100 Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal treble 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ100 . 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 vendor, and Technics EAH AZ100's case has a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's charging case has a battery life of 44 hours, more than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 26 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ100's battery.

Raycon Fitness Earbuds takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery, less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 1 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.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Technics EAH AZ100 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Raycon Fitness Earbuds too use USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets. The Technics EAH AZ100 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a Bluetooth version of 5.3, equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ100 . Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Technics EAH AZ100 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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 well 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 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. The Technics EAH AZ100 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound.
