IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
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 of liquids 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Technics EAH AZ60 has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
Technics EAH AZ60 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ60 with a difference -1.4g
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 wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ60 are resistant to sweat
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are both dustproof and water-resistant.
An earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are rated 1meters any depth more than that they will be spoilt. Devices that can withstand more water pressure are better for diving.
ANC utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -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, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
The Technics EAH AZ60 stay well in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Technics EAH AZ60 have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 3mm
, 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro'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 on its way through.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery life is
more than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 0.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not 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 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 having to recharge the case itself.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 5 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ60's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 1 hours
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery power is 61mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a compatible charging pad.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights display the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
Technics EAH AZ60 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5,
older than that of Technics EAH AZ60
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 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. Since 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 well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
Technics EAH AZ60 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
