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

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!

Had the AZ80, the predecessor to the AZ100 and for me they had a few drawbacks. In order to get the best soundstage Dynamic preset had to be selected but this brought some harsh sibilance. This couldn’t be dialled down without making everything sound darker and muddier. Also the volume controls were strange, 2 taps on left bud to lower, 3 taps to increase. Any issues I had with them have been addressed with the AZ100. The sound is so much better with no harsh sibilance even with the highs dialled up, much wider soundstage, imaging and separation is awesome and clarity is amazing. You can now customise the buttons to anything you want which is the first time I have seen this on an earbud. The case is smaller and more pocketable as are the buds. The only slight drawback here is they don’t feel quite as premium as the AZ80’s, these are a little bit more plasticky. Noise cancelling is top tier and transparency mode is almost as good as the industry leader the Airpods Pro 2. These are a no brainier get them you won’t be disappointed.

These are amazing earbuds. I have never had an "expensive" pair of buds before and never really thought they would be worth it, but I was wrong. The sound quality from these buds is amazing, I can hear individual instruments clearly for the first time in "ever" really.The noise cancelling is excellent, I can listen to tunes in a busy supermarket and it blocks EVERYTHING from outside. The transparency mode works well but mostly at lower sound levels, playing music on high and 80% transparency, I can mostly just hear the music but voices came through pretty well.Used the buds for calls while out walking and the quality is ok ish...I could hear the other person fine but the person who I was talking to could barely hear me and I had to end the call because of this and call back when I was somewhere quieter.The fit is decent and doesn't hurt my ears after being in for hours. You get loads of different size buds so should be good for most ear sizes.The case is light, small and pretty sleek with a metal finish, and will easily fit in a pocket or purse.All in all a decent set of buds.

These are amazing. Sound is awesome, both listening to music and on calls. NC is great. Battery life is above standard and fit and comfort is also perfect, when you get the right size tip but they come with enough options. App is easy to use as is connecting to phone/tablet/laptop. I’m on IOS and have no issues or drop outs. They are on the more expensive side but I think they are definitely worth it.
