IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number 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, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3.4g
True wireless devices 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 a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Technics EAH AZ80 have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit 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 independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
The Technics EAH AZ80 sit well in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background sounds while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise without using technology 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 device, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 3mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Technics EAH AZ80
The Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ80 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's measurement is 107dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
less 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 a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Technics EAH AZ80's case is said to have a full charge of 17.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 3.5 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ80's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours
Technics EAH AZ80, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of the earbuds.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your device and charging case.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a battery level indicator, these enable you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
The Technics EAH AZ80 support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
