Technics Eah Az80 Vs. Nothing Ear 1 Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, 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).

Scoring 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 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, Nothing Ear 1 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust) and that of liquids is that, they both have the same rating against liquids The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.

The Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -4.6g True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds . Nothing Ear 1 also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the two earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat Nothing Ear 1'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 independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Nothing Ear 1 and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.

How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

The Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation 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 overcome background sounds.

The Nothing Ear 1 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. The Technics EAH AZ80 sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.

Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1.6mm , a common assumption 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.

Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies 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 a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ80 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Nothing Ear 1 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.
