Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Technics EAH AZ80
✓
Beats Studio Buds + ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Beats Studio Buds + too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

Beats Studio Buds + ✓
The Technics EAH AZ80 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds while preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Technics EAH AZ80
10mm
Beats Studio Buds + 8.2mm
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 produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Technics EAH AZ80
20hz
Beats Studio Buds + 20hz
Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds +'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Technics EAH AZ80
40,000hz
Beats Studio Buds + 20,000hz
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device generates 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 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Buds +
Sound Pressure Level
Technics EAH AZ80
✗
Beats Studio Buds + 100db/mw
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds +'s measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
