Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Wave Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Technics EAH AZ80
10mm
JBL Wave Buds 8mm
Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Technics EAH AZ80
20hz
JBL Wave Buds 20hz
The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Technics EAH AZ80
40,000hz
JBL Wave Buds 20,000hz
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 adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Technics EAH AZ80 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Buds
Sound Pressure Level
Technics EAH AZ80
✗
JBL Wave Buds 100db/mw
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
