Technics AZ100 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Earbuds with Magnetic Fluid Driver, Voice Focus AI, 3 Device Multipoint Connectivity, LDAC Compatible, Silver (EAH-AZ100E-S)

I have waited a few months and many hours of listening time before leaving a review. They are a nice fit for me straight out the box. Pros They charging case is a nice size and light, connection is via an app. You can adjust the graphic equaliser to your liking. At first i constantly changing the sound, then i told copilot what music i was into and it created me a bespoke sound and i have never looked back. The battery life is really good, rarely need to charge them. Call quality is good, the buds are a good size for my fat fingers and not fiddly to skip tracks/pause ect.. the sound quality is superb, pick up subtle sounds in familiar tracks i have never heard before. Cons they sometimes goes into pause by themselves which can be annoying, and if you value noise cancellation above all other, the airpods pro 3 are superior

I have been through a few earbuds. Had Bose Quietcomfort 2, Sony WF 1000XM5 and tried Technics AZ80. In the end I settled on AZ100, and they are the best in my opinion. My thoughts on each: Bose Quietcomfort 2 - the noise cancelling is amazing, way best of all earbuds. They are comfortable and pleasant on the ear, but sound is average. It is warm and bassy, but lacks detail. Pleasant though. Lack wireless charging. Technics AZ80 - almost very good, sound decent and are comfortable, high quality materials and finish, but still lack some detail. Good, but not the best Sony WF 1000XM5 - those were almost my favorite sound wise, the most detailed, could hear tiny little sounds in the background. Bass sounded a bit artificial though, and they had issues with connectivity. During the day would drop signal for split second many times a day (probably due to the fact I carry 2 phones, incl company one) I found it too annoying. Technics AZ100 - clear winners for me. Sound is great, maybe not quite as detailed as Sony, but a lot juicier and powerful and spacious. They are not cheap, but worth the price in my opinion. Just wish the built quality was as nice as AZ80. But love them, so pleasant and powerful. EDIT: after 10 weeks left earbud stopped charging. Tried cleaning it etc, did not help. I did a factory reset of them via the app and so far it is back to normal.

Noise cancelling is not great but the sound quality and the quality of the product is very good. I did like the fit, they are very comfortable, grey looks smart and have lots of features in the app. The noise cancelling just is not here even with the largest tips and max cancelling, you can still hear background noise clearly, also they are not very loud. If noise cancelling is not a major factor for you then the comfy fit and lovely sound will be great.

I bought these after being extremely disappointed in the Apple AirPods Pro 3 whose fit (poor seal) and sound quality (too trebly, overcooked) are not for me. I had been curious about the Panasonic AZ100 for a while, and I should have trusted my gut because these are what earbuds should sound like . I been an owner of a Technics turntable from the 70's I inherited from my grandfather that still works, and I've been using high-end Panasonic cameras for the last decade. I had to get over my dependence on the Apple ecosystem and these buds function very well on iPhone as I've had no connectivity issues. The way these buds sit in your upper ear is way more comfortable and secure fit. The ANC feels nearly on par with Apple due to the better fit not leaking noise. It still has some areas where it could be better, but for earbuds this is sufficient. The sound quality is the real winner here, even with a flat EQ the range contains a nice balance of rich bass, clear mids, and appropriate treble. The easy to use app allows for multiple EQ customizations, and easy assignment of multi-tap functions. I found setting the volume down to double-tap on the left and volume up on the right to be a more efficient/reliable functionality than the slider bar haptic on the AirPods. Phone calls seems clear, will have to test more with the microphone in different environments. The case is nice and sturdy, also a nice compact size. Everything here feels like a quality build. And yes there is a charging cable included! Battery life is also very impressive, much longer than APP3 especially on the case. If your priority is sound quality and comfort then these earbuds are for you.

Worked amazingly for 2 weeks, then the left earbud noise cancelling started acting up. Sounded like wind on a microphone, then pops and crackles. Switched noise cancelling off and it was fine. I was offered a repair (could take 20 days) for a product that I'd had new for 14 days. Not good enough!! Thought I'd try speaking to Amazon tech support thinking they would say "we'll replace it with a new set, just send them back" Call wouldn't connect. Gave up, sent them back and now I have lost my 12 months interest free offer. I was even offered £32 refund if I kept them...Come on Amazon, they're broken! Why would I want to keep them. As a side note, sonically they were fantastic but that's useless if they fail within 2 weeks

Uitstekende earbutts die bij mij en bij velen met mij onder de radar is gebleven. Ik heb een hele scala aan high end earbuts geprobeerd, deze verslaat de meeste. Uitstekend geluid, prima anc, zitten goed. Een aanrader

Tienen un sonido excelente, pero el volumen no es muy potente y la cancelación de ruido podría mejorar.

Intanto una distinzione doverosa tra auricolari e gioielli tecnologici. Per tale ragione questi ultimi costano dieci volte più dei primi. Poi, avendo già deciso che i Technics EAH-AZ80 sono in definitiva i migliori se paragonati ai loro diretti competitors di fascia che posseggo (Sennheiser MTW4, Apple AirPods Pro 2 generazione, K-Array Duetto KD6BT, Jabra Elite 85t e Bose QC Ultra), in questa recensione mi soffermerò soprattutto sulla differenza tra gli AZ80 e questi nuovi Technics AZ100 e se valga la pena di fare l’upgrade di questi gioiellini della leggendaria marca che da oltre una decina d’anni appartiene alla nipponica Panasonic. Cominciamo dicendo che io ho acquistato gli AZ100 un mese dopo aver preso gli AZ80 con l’idea di fare il reso di quelli che mi avrebbero convinto meno…, ho deciso di tenerli entrambi! Il confronto: - Audio: Entrambi i modelli offrono audio di alta qualità, ma l'AZ100 supporta Dolby Atmos e audio spaziale (e si sente!), offrendo un'esperienza sonora più immersiva. Sarà per il driver a fluido magnetico, ma l’audio è veramente ECCEZIONALE!! Ovviamente parlo di qualità; se proprio volete spararvi musica con volume a manetta nelle orecchie, allora bastano anche degli auricolari da €40 tipo gli ottimi Sony WF510, per avere soddisfazione. - Cancellazione del rumore: l'AZ100 ha una modalità di cancellazione del rumore adattativa, che offre una cancellazione del rumore più naturale in vari ambienti rumorosi. C’è pure la possibilità di cancellare il rumore ambientale della persona con cui si sta parlando al telefono! La ricezione della propria voce, a detta dell’interlocutore, è perfetta. - Durata della batteria: l'AZ100 ha una durata della batteria più lunga rispetto agli AZ80, con 12 ore contro 7,5 ore, quasi il doppio! - Design: come si può vedere dalle foto, gli AZ100 (quelli neri) sono più piccoli e leggeri, rendendoli più comodi per un uso prolungato. Non facendo attività sportive non mi esprimo sulla loro tenuta, ma posso dire che mi devo sforzare per realizzare di averli indosso! Anche la custodia è più piccola. - Prezzo: gli AZ100 (€299) sono più costosi degli AZ80 (pagati €229), ma offrono funzionalità aggiuntive e miglioramenti significativi, addirittura nella stessa app dov, tra l’altro, appare un equalizzazione a sette bande e la possibilità di selezionare la lingua italiana nel ricevere i messaggi vocali di controllo. Rimangono la connessione triple point, l’integrazione con Alexa. Unico inconveniente: quando si settano le impostazioni per avere il miglior audio possibile, ne risente ovviamente il lato visivo ed è praticamente difficile vedersi un film o un video dal momento che il suono arriva fuori sincrono. Io però ho aggirato il problema dedicando l’uso degli AZ100 esclusivamente all’ascolto! In sintesi, se non aveste ancora dei gioielli per audiofili potreste comprare tranquillamente i Technics EAH-AZ100 perché sono senza dubbio i migliori in circolazione, e se invece avete già gli AZ80 allora cominciate a pensare subito all’upgrade!!

FAZIT: Der Technics EAH-AZ100 gehört klar in die Spitzenklasse der In-Ears. Sie haben einen hervorragenden Sound mit einer großen Bühne und feiner detailreicher Wiedergabe. Klang: Die AZ-100 bieten einen exzellenten Sound schon mit AAC am IPHONE. Sie bieten eine detailreiche Wiedergabe auf einer für In-Ears sehr großen Bühne. Die Bässe reichen sehr tief und sind sehr präzise, die Höhen fein und detailliert, die Mitten ausgewogen. Mit LDAC erhöht sich die Klangqualität noch einmal erheblich. Tragekomfort: Der Tragekomfort ist gut. Die AZ-100 sitzen angenehm und stabil im Ohr. Die AZ-100 werden mit fünf Ohrstöpseln geliefert. Da sollte sich für jedes Ohr eine passende Größe finden lassen. Ich persönlich Compy memoryfoam Stöpsel. Sie erhöhen die passive Geräuschunterdückung. Ebenfalls guten Tragekomfort bieten die SpinFit Neo. ANC: Das ANC ist hervorragend und auf der Höhe der Konkurrenz. Lediglich Windgeräusche (Blätterrauschen) machen sich als Zischen bemerkbar. Akku: Die genaue Akkulaufzeit habe ich noch nicht gemessen. Sie ist aber definitiv mehr als ausreichend.. Bedienung und Haptik: Die Bedienung der AZ-100 ist einfach und intuitiv und kann individuell angepasst werden. APP: Die APP bietet viele Einstellungen. Sie ist jedoch nicht barrierefrei. Die Schrift ist zu klein und die Kontrast schwach. Außerdem ist sie unübersichtlich. Es bleibt viel Raum für Verbesserungen. Vergleich: Technics EAH-AZ100 Apple Airpod Pro 2 Sony WF1000-XM5 Sound: 1. Technics EAH-AZ100 2. Apple Airpod Pro 2 ab? 3. Sony WF1000-XM5 Die Technics mit ihrer großen Bühne, dem klaren, detaillieren Sound sind klar vor den Airpods Pro und den Sony. Die Airpods haben nicht die Bühne der Technics und die Sony klingen etwas blass im Vergleich zu den Technics. Tragekomfort: 1. Apple Airpod Pro 2 2. Technics EAH-AZ100 3. Sony WF1000-XM5 Die Airpods sind die bequemsten und lassen sich am längsten problemlos tragen. Bedienung: 1. Apple Airpod Pro 2 2. Technics EAH-AZ100 3. Sony WF1000-XM5 Ich finde die simple, aber geniale Bedienung der Apple am besten. Die Technics folgen aufgrund ihrer individuellen Anpassung auf Platz 2 ANC: 1. Technics EAH-AZ100 2. Apple Airpod Pro 2 3. Sony WF1000-XM5 Beim ANC sind alle drei auf sehr hohem Niveau. Es gibt hier für mich keinen klaren Sieger. Ich würde die Rangfolge dennoch so festlegen: Individuelle Anpassung: 1. Technics EAH-AZ100 1. Apple Airpod Pro 2 3. Sony WF1000-XM5 Alle drei lassen sich individuell einstellen. Die Technics und Airpods bieten hier die meisten Möglichkeiten. App: 1. Apple Airpod Pro 2 3. Technics EAH-AZ100 3. Sony WF1000-XM5 Lediglich die APP der Airpods ist barrierfrei und übersichtlich strukturiert. Technics und Sony haben da noch viel nachzuholen. Kleine Schriften, sahwache Kontraste, unübersichtliche Strukturen = MANGELHAFT

I replaced my old AirPods pro 1. I use AZ100 with an Android phone and AK se100. The AZ100 has nice information on its app. The buds connection is strong. I can listen to the audio books all my working hours (about 8 hours), then i listen music for 2 hours in a gym with active noise cancellation. The fit of the buds is comfortable and secure - better then my old AirPods. The touch control is easy and can be set to any user's preferences. The sound quality is excellent for me. I would buy this earbuds again.
