IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80'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. 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
Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.

Both Beats Fit Pro and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes.

The Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device. 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 find it difficult to produce 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.
The Technics EAH AZ80'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 alters the signal while at it. 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 tells how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ80 can generate 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 commonly 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 earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
