Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. 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 AZ60'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.
Compared to the Technics EAH AZ60, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Technics EAH AZ60 have a weight of 14g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ60 with a difference -2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ60 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Technics EAH AZ60 have sweat resistance
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ60 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 2.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's measurement is 92dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Technics EAH AZ60's battery life is 7.5 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.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 0.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing 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.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ60's case is said to have a full charge of 25 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.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 1 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ60's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
