IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection 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 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. In comparison 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 take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
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 don't have cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Beats Fit Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat Beats Fit Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Beats Fit Pro also have stereo speakers ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Beats Fit Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.
Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The 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 produces sound in the device, its size determines 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters 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
The Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ80 produce 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 for a single charge.
