IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. 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 (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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,
Technics EAH AZ80 has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -1.4g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking 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 cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 have sweat resistance Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during 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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise.
How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time. The Technics EAH AZ80 stay well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound made by 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
, 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 deliver better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can make sound with equal bass Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means 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 for a single charge.
