Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second 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. In comparison to the Technics EAH AZ100, Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 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 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Technics EAH AZ100 have a weight of 11.8g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ100 with a difference -0.8g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ100 have sweat resistance
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , 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.
Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Technics EAH AZ100 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce 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 having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
The Technics EAH AZ100 sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. The Technics EAH AZ100 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound produced by the device.
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
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. 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 produce equal bass
Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ100 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, 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
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not 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 Technics EAH AZ100's case is said to have a charge of 18 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge 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
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ100's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Technics EAH AZ100 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and case. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The Technics EAH AZ100 support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too support 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 movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ100
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Technics EAH AZ100 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 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. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ100 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support AAC as well.
Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. 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 is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
The Technics EAH AZ100 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the desired sound. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy environments.
The Technics EAH AZ100 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing them
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, for example when you’re having a run but would still want to hear traffic.
