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 means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Having a value of IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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 The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3.2g For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables.
