IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say 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. Compared 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,
Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a higher liquid rating than Technics EAH AZ100
Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds, at 141.75g weigh more than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference of 129.95g For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires.

The Raycon Fitness Earbuds also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have ANC 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 sounds.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that Raycon Fitness Earbuds can make sound with a juicier bass than the Technics EAH AZ100 Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device produces 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 means that both devices produce equal treble The Technics EAH AZ100's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
