Technics Eah Az80 Vs. Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).

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. In comparison to the Technics EAH AZ80, Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a rating of IP54 meaning that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety and that of liquids is that, they both have the same rating against liquids Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ80 with a difference -3.2g For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires.
