Technics Eah Az80 Vs. Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means 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 the second number of 4 means 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 The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds, at 10.8g are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3.2g True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together. Jabra Evolve2 Buds also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the 2 earbuds together.

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, 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 makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it.

Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.

Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes.

The Technics EAH AZ80 and Jabra Evolve2 Buds operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time. Technics EAH AZ80 stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. The Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.

The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.

Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates 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 means 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 an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means 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.

A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 2.5 hours . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Technics EAH AZ80's case has a charge of 17.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours, more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 3.5 hours It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ80's battery.

It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. Jabra Evolve2 Buds takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery, equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ80 Technics EAH AZ80, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of a device. Technics EAH AZ80 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and case.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. The Technics EAH AZ80 use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have USB TYPE-C.

This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. The Technics EAH AZ80 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Jabra Evolve2 Buds has a Bluetooth version of 5.2, older than that of Technics EAH AZ80 . Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

Technics EAH AZ80 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a maximum range of 20meters, longer than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 10meters Technics EAH AZ80 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.

Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.

Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ80 will work well with your MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. The Technics EAH AZ80 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz.
