IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second 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. Compared to the Technics EAH AZ80, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Technics EAH AZ80 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Live Pro 2
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
The JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -4.4g
True wireless devices have no cables linking 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 cables connecting the pair of earbuds together. JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat
JBL Live Pro 2'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 independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Live Pro 2 and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. JBL Live Pro 2 too have ANC making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Technics EAH AZ80 and JBL Live Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Technics EAH AZ80 sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the sound produced by the device.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1mm
, many people have a misconception 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 mean that they produce better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ80 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Live Pro 2
Technics EAH AZ80's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 2.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
