IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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 for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g weigh less 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. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Technics EAH AZ80's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 4mm
, many people have a misconception 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Technics EAH AZ80 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds Technics EAH AZ80's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
