Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered 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 say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ60's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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.

Both LG Tone Free Fit TF8 and Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the 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 sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the earbuds.
LG Tone Free Fit TF8 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
LG Tone Free Fit TF8's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
The LG Tone Free Fit TF8's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
The 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 given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

more than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 2.5 hours
. Each 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 have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Technics EAH AZ60's case is said to have a charge of 25 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
LG Tone Free Fit TF8's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 5 hours
