Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Google Pixel Buds Pro

Technics EAH AZ80 ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
Google Pixel Buds Pro
11mm
Technics EAH AZ80 10mm
The Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1mm
, many people have a misconception 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Google Pixel Buds Pro
20Hz
Technics EAH AZ80 20Hz
The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Google Pixel Buds Pro
20,000Hz
Technics EAH AZ80 40,000Hz
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ80 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
Sound Pressure Level
Google Pixel Buds Pro
75dB/mW
Technics EAH AZ80 ✗
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
