Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Technics EAH AZ60 ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ60 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Technics EAH AZ60 and Sony LinkBuds S work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
Sony LinkBuds S
5mm
Technics EAH AZ60 8mm
Technics EAH AZ60 driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 3mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
20hz
Technics EAH AZ60 ✗
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Highest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
40,000hz
Technics EAH AZ60 ✗
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Has A Neodymium Magnet

Technics EAH AZ60 ✗
Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
