IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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
Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -2.8g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting 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 separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Beats Fit Pro and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The Technics EAH AZ80 and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time. Technics EAH AZ80 sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter, which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5mm , as many tend to believe 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 imply that they produce better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable 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 tells how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ80 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Fit Pro The 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
