IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80'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 AZ80, Beats Fit 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 AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ80 with a difference -2.8g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ80 have sweat resistance
Beats Fit Pro'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 AZ80 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Technics EAH AZ80 and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
The Technics EAH AZ80 sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both Beats Fit Pro, and Technics EAH AZ80 have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ80 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Fit Pro
Technics EAH AZ80'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.
Beats Fit Pro's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ80's case has a full charge of 17.5 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Beats Fit Pro's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 3.5 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ80's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Beats Fit Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1 hours

older than that of Technics EAH AZ80
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Technics EAH AZ80 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Beats Fit Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ80
Technics EAH AZ80 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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 AZ80 will work well with your MacBook.
If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Beats Fit 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.
The Technics EAH AZ80 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 can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio. The Technics EAH AZ80 have 8 microphones.
The Beats Fit Pro microphones are 6,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. The Technics EAH AZ80 use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the desired sound. The Beats Fit Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy environments. Technics EAH AZ80 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
