Technics EAH-A800 review

The EAH-A800 earns its place on battery and noise cancelling design. Technics combines Dual Hybrid feedforward and feedback noise cancelling with analog and digital processing, and rates the headphones at up to 50 hours on a single charge with noise cancelling on, behind only Sennheiser's 60 hours (Sennheiser does not specify ANC on or off). A 15-minute quick charge gives 10 hours of playback, the best quick charge figure in this list. A 40 mm driver and LDAC high resolution wireless audio aim at hi-fi listeners, and multipoint pairing switches automatically between devices. The Technics Audio Connect app handles pairing and lets you tailor noise cancelling and sound modes. The problem is price. Technics' US store lists it at $399.99, more than the Sony is usually sold for, and the company now sells a newer A1000 above it at $449.99. Shop around before paying full price.
