A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Technics EAH AZ100 similar in how loud their sound can get
, 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 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 component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ100 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The 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 have to charge the device less often. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Technics EAH AZ100's case has a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ100
