IP ratings is the rank of protection given 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 resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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 2 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 2 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Technics EAH AZ80
Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g are lighter than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3g True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ80 have sweat resistance Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers, devices with stereo 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 2 Pro and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes.
Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time. The Technics EAH AZ80 stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down background noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.

The Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the sound produced by the device. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter, making both Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Technics EAH AZ80 similar in how loud their sound can get , 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Technics EAH AZ80 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 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.
