IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means 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 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,
Technics EAH AZ80 has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3g For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the 2 earbuds . Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat 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, 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.
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Technics EAH AZ80 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit 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 corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 yes, 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 inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro'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 shows how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Technics EAH AZ80 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro The 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 2 Pro's battery life is more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours . Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Technics EAH AZ80's case has a full charge of 17.5 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.3, equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ80 . Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Technics EAH AZ80 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the Technics EAH AZ80 Technics EAH AZ80 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ80 will work well with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 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. Technics EAH AZ80 support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz.
