IP ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring 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. Compared 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

This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 have sweat resistance Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Jabra Evolve2 Buds and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

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 basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 4mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices make sound with equal bass Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Technics EAH AZ80 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds The Technics EAH AZ80's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
