IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
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 Studio Buds 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 better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Beats Studio Buds, at 5.1g
are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -8.9g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat
Beats Studio Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Technics EAH AZ80's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Beats Studio Buds also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero thus "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 earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. Beats Studio Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Technics EAH AZ80 and Beats Studio Buds work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
Technics EAH AZ80 sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both Beats Studio Buds, and Technics EAH AZ80 have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1.8mm
, many people have a misconception 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 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 measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ80 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Buds
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.
Beats Studio Buds's battery life is
more 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 no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the manufacturer, and Technics EAH AZ80's case is said to have a charge of 17.5 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. Beats Studio Buds's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1.5 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ80's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Beats Studio Buds takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours
The Technics EAH AZ80, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you just put down on a supported charging pad. The Technics EAH AZ80 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights display the charging status of your device and case. Beats Studio Buds too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.

older than that of Technics EAH AZ80
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Technics EAH AZ80 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Beats Studio Buds have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ80
Technics EAH AZ80 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ80 will work well with your iPhone.
If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Beats Studio Buds support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
Technics EAH AZ80 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony
which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio. The Technics EAH AZ80 have 8 microphones.
