The Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device. 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
, 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 yeah, 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 measures if and how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Google Pixel Buds Pro'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 measures if and how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ80 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
