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. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 have sweat resistance Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as 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 separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Evolve2 Buds and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce 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 frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Evolve2 Buds'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 a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Technics EAH AZ80 generate 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 for a single charge.
