Technics Premium Hi-Fi True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Advanced Noise Cancelling, 3 Device Multipoint Connectivity, Wireless Charging, Hi-Res Audio + Enhanced Calling - EAH-AZ80-K (Black)

One of the bestUpdate!!! cardle stopped charging. ☹️ disappointed about the purchase

I have had mine exactly 1 year, bought in September 2025. Only used them for work. The case which they come in is no longer charging. Its shows as flat/dead out of battery on the app, and whilst the light comes on, when you plug it in, it does not re-charge.

I had the Samsung EarBuds2Pro for a little over a year and had them sent in for service 2 times and after the warranty ran out by 2 months they totally died. So I bought these Technics because I used to sell electronics for a living and Technics/Panasonic/Matsushita Electronics the parent company was the best to work with and the product was very good. So anyway I then studied electronics and became a electronic technician and repaired gear for 15 years and worked with Technics/Panasonic/Matsushita Electronics again and I must say that the company is a very very solid fair and good company that cares about it's product and it's customers both at retail and when repairs where required. I have a lot of respect for Technics/Panasonic/Matsushita Electronics. So I have had these Technics earbuds now for about 6 weeks and they 100% absolutely kill the Samsung earbuds I had and obliterate them for sound quality and stability of operation without cutting in and out and are free of any unwanted staticky hash etc. I have no hesitation to recommend the Technics earbuds and thus far I have no question in my mind that I would buy them again. I bought a new big screen TV a few days ago and the Technics earbuds can be use with 3 sources and so when I start the TV sound the earbuds auto sense the TV and play sound and then when I use my digital audio/video player the earbuds auto sense that and switchover to play that. It is very convenient and they can do 3 sources that way. I am liking these new Technics earbuds very very much.

The best earphones I have bought

Despues de 2 años con ellos puedo decir que son increibles. Incluso despues de tener los AZ100 sigo regresando a los AZ80.Tuve por mucho tiempo un problema con el case que quedaba parpadeando la luz roja y no funcionaba, lo que hice fue arreglarlo con "contact cleaner" bastante y secar bien con los earbuds afuera y el case apagado y se arreglo totalmente.Esta era mi unica queja e iba a poner un rating de 3 estrellas, pero, al ser un problema de suciedad y mantenimiento creo que no tengo mucho de que quejarme.El sonido es increible, son comodos, y la cancelacion de ruido funciona bastante bien, con AAC la bateria facilmente dura 6 horas de constante uso, lo cual es menos de la mitad de los AZ100, pero sigue siendo un muy buen número.En general estoy contento con mi compraSobre el sonido, no esperes un bajo aplastante, o algo muy "audiofilo" lleno de detalles, soundstage y claridad. Son buenos, decentes, balanceados y tiene sus deficiencias en los agudos. Es un sonido refinado, que aprendes a apreciar.si quieres un sonido mas comercial, saturado y sobre todo mas enfocado a los bajos, los Oneplus buds 3, Nothing Ear 2 o Sony xm5/xm6 son una opcion que te sorprendera más.

**4 months milestone update - still working great! Still prefer this pair over the Apple AirPod. Still wear these while working out. Music still sounds natural and powerful in my ear!Original review-Priced at $299 (I bought these at $279), are the Technics AZ80 better than the Airpod Pro ( MSRP $249)? In many aspects, yes!I truly believe that the AZ80 has great hardware and good software, making these an amazing pair of premium audio earbuds.I personally own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro 1 (short as AirPods Pro below), which I have been wanting to replace. My review should have some some comparison between the AirPods Pro and the AZ80.1. 10mm drive & Technic’s audio technology: the sound is incredibly clear. Sound stage is wide, with instruments in each song can be clearly identified. Warm bass that is amazing straight out of box, and there are plenty of room to customize EQ With the in-app EQ, while it is very simple, it enables customizable profile to tailor the sound. Even though the Technics Connect app seems to have fewer EQ presets than competitors, I found them to be enough for my needs. I stick to Vocal and Dynamic depending on my needs.There is one minor issue: I can feel and hear slight pressure change when I run with the AZ80. Not a major issue for me since I focus more on weight training workout. With its close-back design and large 10mm driver, these are not great if you want to use these for running. The IPX4 rating also is only suitable for moderate workout in mild terrain and weather.2. Amazing ANC: natural and effective. No in-ear pressure feel. Natural transparency mode. Many review sites often compare earbuds next to each other. In my experience, they are simply great on their own. I like that I can customize the strength of the ANC, increasing the ANC in noisy spaces such as the train cabin, or decrease it when at home. Very little white noise when ANC is at max strength. I have above average hearing, and I can only hear the white noise if I intentionally pay attention to it.3. Small case: as shown in the picture, the AZ80 case is amazingly designed. Not that much bigger than my AirPods. Wireless charging capable, with a USB-C port, premium metallic material look, and great ergonomic in hand or pocket.4. Great ergonomics: It comes with multiple eartips to choose from. The earbuds are not intrusive in my ear canal. The AZ80 simply sit in my ear, similar to the AirPods Pro. I have some issues with the AirPods Pro falling out of my ear during workout due to the size and design, as well as the minor moisture and oil in my ear during working out. These feel more secure than the AirPods Pro.5. Great connectivity: Using my iPhone, connecting to either the AirPods or AZ80 are similar simple and convenient. The AZ80 takes 1 sec longer to connect than the AirPods Pro, but it does not require any interaction to switch between devices once multi-point is setup. To switch devices, I simply play audio or video on the other device. AirPods Pro is great when I first got it, but recently it has major issues with connection, device switching, and battery life, despite being on the latest hardware.Lastly,6. Microphone quality. AirPods Pro does have Apple’s industry leading software to create amazing sound quality. I personally prefer the AZ80 as it seems to have better microphone hardware and software. My voice sounds natural, although lack a bit of warmth. With the Technics’ JustMyVoice feature at maximum strength, the person on the other side of the call cannot hear any noise, music, or chatter near me. The clarity of my voice does get cutout if my background noise is larger than me, but that’s the same across competition.P.S. I personally identify as a gear fanatic who likes to do extensive research before any purchase. Before buying two pairs of these premium earphones, one for my partner and the other for myself, I looked extensively into other options such as the Sony 1000XM5, Sennheiser MTWS 3, 4, & sport, Apple AirPods Pro 2, Beats Fit Pro, Bose QC Wireless Ultra, and Jabra Elite 10, as well as Technics’s own AZ60 & AZ60 Mark 2I believe these earbuds to be simply amazing and cannot be overlooked if you have been shopping for something like the Sennheiser MTWS 4 or Bose QCW Ultra.

Excellent acoustics, sound quality and noise cancelling vs the other same category brands i’ve tried. Long battery life. Can talk to alexa change songs while running. Though too much shaking or sweat in the ear in rare cases it falls of which may damage the unit. Overall, highly recommended
