Technics EAH-AZ100E-K Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancelling, Multipoint Bluetooth, Voice Focus AI, Comfortable In-Ear Headphones, Black

I have been through a few earbuds. Had Bose Quietcomfort 2, Sony WF 1000XM5 and tried them Technics AZ80. In the end I settled on AZ100, and they are the best in my opinion. My thoughts on each:Bose Quietcomfort 2 - the noise cancelling is amazing, way best of all earbuds. They are comfortable and pleasant on the ear, but sound is average. It is warm and bassy, but lacks detail. Pleasant though. Lack wireless charging.Technics AZ80 - almost very good, sound decent and are comfortable, high quality materials and finish, but still lack some detail. Good, but not the bestSony WF 1000XM5 - those were almost my favorite sound wise, the most detailed, could hear tiny little sounds in the background. Bass sounded a bit artificial though, and they had issues with connectivity. During the day would drop signal for split second many times a day (probably due to the fact I carry 2 phones, incl company one) I found it too annoying.Technics AZ100 - clear winners for me. Sound is great, maybe not quite as detailed as Sony, but a lot juicier and powerful and spacious. They are not cheap, but worth the price in my opinion. Just wish the built quality was as nice as AZ80. But love them

At first I was ultimately disappointed with the sound as the default DIRECT tuning to my ears was pretty awful. It was overly bassy and boomy....with veiled vocals and the highs lacked sparkle. Fortunately I came across the frequency response graph for these buds and made my own EQ accordingly.After my adjustments the AZ100 were transformed. The more I listened to them the more I grew to love the sound. They are indeed rich on bass, the speed, texture and nuances all come through deliciously. The vocals now have room to breathe...the sound exudes realism and it's utterly captivating. Treble is very detailed, well judged and just a joy, no harnesses to mention. I'm so chuffed at the way these buds reproduce instruments and vocals, they're utterly satisfying.Here's my EQ:- two- fiveZeroZero+ two+ five+ three+ threeThey respond well to EQ adjustments... Give my EQ a try for a few days and see how you feel. I add an extra 2 decibels on the last 2 bass bands if I'm in the mood for more bass.In regards to the other key points.... ANC works great, transparency mode is also excellent. Mic quality is good for calls as is the noise suppression. Fit is great for me and occlusion is very minimal. The app customisation has to be commended as it's class leading. The case is small and slim, very pocketable. The AZ100 really have nailed most if not all aspects. Price is high but then so is the performance, so I don't think they're overpriced.One major downer for me is the low quality feel of the charging case. The plastic feels cheap and unsatisfactory and the magnets a little weak.

I recently got my hands on the new Technics earbuds, and let me tell you – they are nothing short of extraordinary. If you’re in search of the best earbuds on the market, look no further. These are in a league of their own.First, let’s talk about sound quality. It’s pure magic. The audio is so crisp and detailed that every note feels alive. The bass is deep and punchy without being overpowering, mids are warm and balanced, and the highs are crystal clear without any hint of distortion. Whether I’m listening to a symphony, a podcast, or a bass-heavy track, these earbuds deliver a flawless experience. It’s like having a personal concert in your ears.The noise cancellation? Unreal. Technics didn’t just block out background noise; they made the outside world disappear. You’ll feel fully immersed, no matter where you are – on a noisy train, at a bustling café, or in a crowded gym. At the same time, the ambient mode is equally impressive, giving you full control when you need to stay aware of your surroundings.Comfort and design are also top-notch. The sleek, modern look is paired with an ergonomic fit that feels secure yet incredibly comfortable. I’ve worn them for hours without even noticing they’re in my ears. The battery life is equally unbeatable – it lasts all day, and the charging case is compact but powerful.Technics has raised the bar for what wireless earbuds can do. They’re not just earbuds; they’re a masterpiece. Whether you’re an audiophile, a casual listener, or just someone who demands the best, these will blow your expectations out of the water.If you’ve been waiting for the perfect earbuds, the wait is over. 10/10 – worth every penny. Step aside Apple and Bose, we have a new boss in town!

Wonderful ear buds: sound, fit and comfort is great, and a delight after a series of disappointing high end comparisons. Comfort is very important to me: Sony’s flagship buds are great as far as pure sound is concerned, but fit, ease of handling etc are a disaster for me.My ONLY criticism, but a serious one, is that I’m finding literally IMPOSSIBLE to purchase Technics replacement eartips. The nozzles of these buds are unusually designed, presumably for a purpose. So wanting to buy tips with compatible nozzles seems reasonable, especially as they are so comfortable. But online searches draw a blank, and Technics support doesn’t seem to know its ears from its other parts: they say they are not for sale, or they say they are available from technics suppliers but couldn’t suggest which ones might stock them, and I can’t locate one: they tell me they’ll send me some, but they never arrive!The rubber/silicone ear tips are perfect for me (I find foam incredibly uncomfortable). Imagine a car designer creating a specific feature on a car, but then effectively making spare parts unavailable!Crazy!!Sound, features and comfort are 5 stars: but customer service and support for after care are zero.
