Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate 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 inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, 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 can make sound with equal bass
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
