IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that 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 of liquids 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 prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ100 by -0.8g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ100 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ100 are resistant to sweat
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro'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, what this means is that Technics EAH AZ100's speakers deliver sound from separate 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
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The Technics EAH AZ100 and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
Technics EAH AZ100 stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. Technics EAH AZ100 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound made 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ100's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Technics EAH AZ100's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ100 can produce 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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ100 by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, 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. This is given by the manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ100's case is said to have a charge of 18 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life 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 requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ100's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Technics EAH AZ100 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights display the charging state of your earbuds and charging case. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers 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 connecting 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 can provide 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 fine with your iPhone. If you are planning 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. 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 is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
The Technics EAH AZ100 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the desired sound. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a noise-canceling type of microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.

Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, only that the battery is filling up much faster.
For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in thirty minutes. The Technics EAH AZ100 support multipoint of 3 connections, this feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
Technics EAH AZ100 have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too support the mute function. The mute function means that you are in position turn off the device's microphone, but still hear the other party's voice.
