Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance 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. Compared to the Technics EAH AZ80, 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 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ80 are resistant to sweat
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as 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, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your chill time. The Technics EAH AZ80 stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and Technics EAH AZ80 have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ80 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the 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 for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Galaxy Buds 2 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 playing 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 life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Technics EAH AZ80's case has a charge of 17.5 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ80's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
The Technics EAH AZ80, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a supported charging pad. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro also support wireless charging, take note of the charging standard of a device.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your device and case. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
The 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. 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. The Technics EAH AZ80 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
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 used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Technics EAH AZ80 will work fine 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 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. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have 8 microphones. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise. The Technics EAH AZ80 use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the desired sound.
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments. The Technics EAH AZ80 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
