IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second 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 number 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 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

Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
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
, a common assumption 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce 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 generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments 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
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, 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
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
