Technics Eah Az80 Vs. Beats Studio Buds Review

IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Scoring 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 The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight best 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 don't have wires. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds . Beats Studio Buds also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat Beats Studio Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Technics EAH AZ80's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.

Both Beats Studio Buds and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.

The Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling 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. Beats Studio Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.

Technics EAH AZ80 stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out . Both Beats Studio Buds, and Technics EAH AZ80 have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the device.

Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, which implies 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 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 inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.

Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ80 can 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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

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 time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and the Technics EAH AZ80's case is said to have a full charge of 17.5 hours.

A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
