Technics Eah Az80 Vs. Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance 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 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 better because lighter devices are easier to move with.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3.2g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat Jabra Evolve2 Buds's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as 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. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds also have stereo speakers ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise.

How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.

Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time. Technics EAH AZ80 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out .

The Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter, which means 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies 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 Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.

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 Technics EAH AZ80's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
