Technics True Wireless Multipoint Bluetooth Earbuds with Microphone, HiFi, Clear Calls, Long Battery Life, Lightweight Comfort Fit, Alexa Built in, EAH-AZ40-N (Rose Gold)

So following a thanksgiving eve car break-in I was looking for a replacement for my Bose QC earbuds. I decided I didnt want to pay the premium price for the BOSE I decided to go fishing in the sub $100 waters. The EAH-AZ40-N featured mono playback in either earbud, a rich sound, bluetooth multipoint connection, just my voice for better call clarity, and a $90 price point for the Rose Gold ($20 less than black), as well as a $12 discount coupon. Great price so here we go! 1. Packed in a nice box with assorted ear tips. The color is as shown in the photo. 2. The charging case uses USB-C cables and comes shipped without charge! Interesting concept. Charged pretty quickly on my 65 watt charger. The charging case has a single multicolor led. Page 7 has the decoder key for the colors .. green is good, yellow medium, red is low, cyan (blue) means earphones are being charged. 3. The units come shipped with the medium sized ear tip installed. I was surprised that the XS seemed to fit me best! They ride firmly in my ear and were comfortable. 4. I like the mono earphone mode with either side. I tend to use when I am messing about and want to be able to hear my wife for instructions and questions. 5. Stereo sound is quite nice with good bass. I have not done much testing yet. I am not an audiophile. 6. The Technics Audio Connect application provides setup for the Ambient Sound Feature, Equalizer and other features. It not very sophisticated compared to Bose and Sony apps but it gets the job done on Android. 7. Pairing is achieved by removing both earbuds from the charger and touching the control plate on one of the earbuds for 7 seconds. The little led on the inside earbud begins flashing red/blue. Pairing then proceeds as usual. 8. Multipoint works well. I am sitting here with an android tablet, Samsung s20+ phone, and windows 10 PC. Start sound on one and the earphones connect. Stop Playback and start it on another device and the earphones connect .. So easy. It will not wrestle with sounds from multiple devices, you have to control the playback and the earbuds will get the sound. 9. The charging case does not seem very rugged .. we will see how it holds up. I have ordered a pouch to give it some protection in my man-bag. 10. Phone calls seem to work quite well, limiting the background noise. More testing to come. Ok, too many words. Nicely priced Full Featured Earbuds that sound Great. Happy Day

Excellent and good quality sound

I previously had the Sony CF 50 and these was are as good. The great part is that you can connect 2 devices. Which I something the Sony couldn’t do. Sound is great and you can create your own settings

I've used these now for about 6 months. They are comfortable, good sound clarity, good volume, good at blocking noise, very long range, and work well with 2 devices. There is nothing about these that I don't like or that aggravates me. It has an app which is a nice to have. Thus I can change some things like tap function, timeout duration, equalizer, and language. I know tapping has limits, but one tap and two taps works well, it gets dodgy at three taps. But this is a minor complaint.

I bought these during Prime Days for less than half of MSRP, and they're probably the most expensive ear buds/headphones I have owned, so I can't really say if they are superior to other brands or not. That said they seem like a quality product - I think the sound quality is good and noise canceling is certainly decent. It's also nice to be able to just tap the flat spot on the right side to pause whatever you're listening to or to answer your phone. These are manufactured by a respected manufacturer (Technics = Panasonic) which has been in the business of manufacturing quality audio devices for decades. There might be a better set out there - but I'm not sure if there's a set of similar quality for a similar price. However, a bit of advice, if you're not picky about which color you want, the rose gold version in particular seems to vary in price daily AT LEAST. So if you're looking to grab a pair check the price a few times a day for a couple days before you buy to get the best deal. I'm satisfied with them and would recommend them, however as I said above, I cannot give a comparison to other mid to higher priced options as I haven't owned any other sets of similar price or quality.
