Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
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. In comparison to the Technics EAH AZ80, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a higher liquid rating than Technics EAH AZ80
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to transport.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -1.4g For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro'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 separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes.
Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time. Technics EAH AZ80 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 1mm , 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro'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 human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Technics EAH AZ80 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery life is more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.

The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and case. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. Technics EAH AZ80 have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5, older than that of Technics EAH AZ80 . Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Technics EAH AZ80 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ80 Technics EAH AZ80 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its 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 , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 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.
