Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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.
In comparison to the Technics EAH AZ60, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety
and that of liquids is that,
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Technics EAH AZ60
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ60 by -3.2g
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 wires. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Jabra Elite 7 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds .

Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro and Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers
Jabra Elite 7 Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that you are likely to lose the functionality of your device. Devices that can withstand more water pressure are better for swimming.
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The 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 earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Technics EAH AZ60 and Jabra Elite 7 Pro work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Technics EAH AZ60's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 1.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, 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 charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 1 hours

Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ60
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ60
Technics EAH AZ60 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ60 will work fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ60
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
