Technics EAH-AZ100 review

The EAH-AZ100 sits at the top of Technics' earbud range and is aimed at people who want hi-fi sound without giving up noise cancelling. Technics describes its noise cancelling as full adaptive digital hybrid, adjusting in real time to the environment and the shape of your ear, and pairs it with Voice Focus AI for calls. The Magnetic Fluid Driver is meant to cut distortion and keep bass accurate, and codec support covers SBC, AAC, LDAC and LC3. For travelers the battery figures stand out: Technics lists about 10 hours on the earbuds with noise cancelling on over AAC and about 28 hours with the case, though LDAC brings that down to about 7 and 18 hours. Multipoint covers three devices at once, which suits anyone switching between a laptop, phone and tablet. Water resistance is only IPX4 equivalent and covers the earbuds, not the case, and at $299.99 it costs as much as Bose's flagship.
