Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that 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 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, Urbanista Copenhagen 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 because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ60 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Urbanista Copenhagen also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ60 have sweat resistance
Urbanista Copenhagen's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Technics EAH AZ60 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Urbanista Copenhagen also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Technics EAH AZ60 sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the device music from leaking out .
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 4mm
, many people have a misconception 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 deliver better quality sound.
The Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Urbanista Copenhagen's measurement is 115dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
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 requires fewer chargings.
Urbanista Copenhagen's battery life is
more than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 0.5 hours
. Each 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 have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Technics EAH AZ60's case has a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Urbanista Copenhagen's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 1 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ60's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
Urbanista Copenhagen takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 0.5 hours
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your device and charging case.
Urbanista Copenhagen too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Technics EAH AZ60 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Urbanista Copenhagen too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Urbanista Copenhagen has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ60
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Urbanista Copenhagen 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 a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ60 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend 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 Urbanista Copenhagen 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.
The 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, providing high-resolution audio.
The Technics EAH AZ60 have 8 microphones.
The Urbanista Copenhagen microphones are 4,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ60 by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds.
