Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids 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 (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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 because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Beats Fit Pro, at 11.2g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 with a difference -2.8g

Both Beats Fit Pro and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes.

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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, 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 component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ80 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Fit Pro
