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
, 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 deliver better quality sound. 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 alters the signal on its way through.

Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce a juicier bass than the Technics EAH AZ100
The Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
