IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ60'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.
Compared to the Technics EAH AZ60, Energy Sistem Sport 5 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
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

Energy Sistem Sport 5'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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Technics EAH AZ60 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Technics EAH AZ60 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
