Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ60's rating for solids indicates 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, Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 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
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 carry.
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ60 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ60 have sweat resistance

Both Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro and Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro driver unit is 13mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 5mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
