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

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.

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.

Having been forced to change earbud due to my old Jabra Elite 75T active battery failing after 5 years of constant use my search ended with Technics. I had considered numerous other buds but knowing the technics name as I do having had sound systems by then in the 80/90s it was a no brainer. The sound quality from these buds are different level, fantastic and clear no matter the genre of music being played, I’m no audio expert but with a Spotify wrapped showing I listened to over 41 days of constant music in 2025 I like to think I know what good sound is, I have owned many over ear headphones over the years with my current being the Sennheiser momentum 4’s so I am a little picky with how my music sounds. The only drawback I can find with these buds is the case, whilst the outside is metallic, the plastic used inside looks and feels extremely cheap, the magnetic hold on the buds inside the case isn’t great either. For a pair of buds priced at £249 I expected better. Overall though I am happy with them, they fit well and have numerous sized tips to choose from, the stock sound is horrendous but thankful the app deals with that no problem. Would I buy them again. Yes

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 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

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

The main positive is that the sound quality is very good. Very clear sound and with the app the profile can be adjusted. For instance listening to dub in the bass mode is definitely an experience! However using a bass-ier profile will hugely affect battery life. I have a couple of issues that bring the score down for me. - Bulky and do not fit my ear well: This makes the noise cancelling less effective as there isn't a great seal at times and I also have to adjust them in my ear quite often. I have quite small ears so this should definitely be a consideration for anyone buying these. The app does have some automated test to pick out the correct earbud size for each ear and that did improve it somewhat. - VERY unreliable charging: Earbuds are loose in the case. Multiple times I have left it on charge and come back to find one or both headphones has not been charging. This could probably be solved by just making the case a tighter fit for the earbuds. I clean the contacts quite regularly and it will still warn they require cleaning. - Unreliable connection (to windows 11 laptop specifically): I'm not sure if this is a driver issue or what but getting them to connect to my windows 11 laptop take multiple cycles of connecting/disconnecting before it works. I don't have this problem with my other earbuds or when connecting to my phone. - Occasionally resets preferences in the app: An app is used to control some features of the earbuds including setting it to noise cancelling mode. Periodically all my settings will reset between connection which is really annoying. This is the first pair of premium priced earbuds I've bought, so I can't compare it to others in this price range. But I think given the price, there shouldn't be basic and very annoying issues like this. If I were in the market again, I would not buy these.

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!

Soundstage of this True wireless is amazingly wide which I love. The sound isolation is good. It's not cheap but it's definitely worth my buck!!❤️

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

Es fängt schon mit der Auswahl der passenden Aufsätze an. Fünf verschiedene Größen stehen zur Auswahl! Da ist für jedes Ohr das richtige dabei! Nach etwa ein oder zwei Stunden Ein- bzw. Umgewöhnung (von meinen alten, auf dieses Modell), habe ich die Earbuds gar nicht mehr gespürt. Sie sitzen super bequem und sicher im Ohr. Ich habe noch nie In-Ears gehabt mit einem annähernd guten Tragekomfort. Das Klangerlebnis bei Musik ist grandios! Dabei ist das für mich gar nicht mal der Kaufgrund gewesen. Doch seit ich es ausprobiert habe, höre ich unheimlich gerne Musik mit den Earbuds. Hauptkaufgrund war für mich die Qualität beim Telefonieren und ANC. Ich telefoniere fast ausschließlich mit Kopfhörern. Doch alles, was ich bisher an kabellosen Modellen ausprobiert habe, hat mich nie zufrieden gestellt. Entweder zu viele Abbrüche, Verzerrungen, blecherner Klang vom Anrufer, blecherner Klang beim Angerufenen, Bedienung für den Eimer … die Liste ließe sich noch etwas weiterführen. Letztlich bin ich immer wieder bei meinen - ewig alten - kabelgebundenen In-Ears von Bose gelandet oder den mindestens genauso alten kabelgebundenen In-Ears von Apple. Bei diesen Earbuds nichts dergleichen! Nach etwas rumexperimentieren und dem Ratschlag des Herstellers (in der App zu finden) habe ich die perfekte Einstellung zum telefonieren gefunden. Keine Verbindungsabbrüche, Klang auf beiden Seiten super, Bedienung sowohl über App als auch an den Earbuds (man kann selber einstellen was der linke oder der rechte Bud machen soll beim antippen oder mehrmals antippen etc.) super einfach und bisher 100% zuverlässig. Dazu die Möglichkeit des aktiven oder passiven NC, Transparent-Modus oder Umgebungsgeräusche vom Anrufer (KI machts möglich - Modus ‚Voice Focus AI‘) wegzufiltern … alles klappt tadellos. Unsere Erfahrung mit Voice Focus AI ist bei diesen Earbuds grandios! Egal ob starker Wind, Autobahn/Straßengeräusche, Flughafen, Straßenbahn, selbst die Industrieanlage auf der mein Mann gewesen ist - ich hab den Modus aktiviert und konnte meinen Mann ohne die - teilweise extrem lauten - Hintergrundgeräusche ohne Verzerrungen, Aussetzer oder ähnliches glasklar verstehen. Die ersten Male telefonieren in dem Modus waren für mich so irritierend, dass ich bei kurzen Gesprächspausen nachgefragt habe, ob die Verbindung überhaupt noch besteht!! Etwas vergleichbares habe ich beim telefonieren noch nie erlebt! Ich habe die Earbuds meist gleichzeitig mit Tablett (zum arbeiten) und Smartphone verbunden. Am Tablett habe ich auch die Musik an, nicht am Smartphone. Bei eingehenden Anrufen am Smartphone klappt der Wechsel vom Tablett zum Smartphone, mit den empfohlenen Einstellung des Herstellers, problemlos. Auch der Wechsel zurück zum Tablett um wieder Musik zu hören nach Beendigung des Telefonats klappt bislang jedesmal auf Anhieb. Weiterer, sehr wichtiger Punkt ist für mich Aktive-NC. Zum einen verwende ich das gerne bei Migräne. Zum anderen reise ich beruflich sehr viel. Egal was um mich rum los ist, ich hab meine Ruhe und kann entweder arbeiten oder sogar schlafen ohne störenden Krach. Ich muss zugeben, das Aktive-NC von Bose ist unerreicht. Auch diese Earbuds kommen da, um einen Hauch, nicht ganz ran. Zumindest solange man bei Bose wenigstens ein bisschen Musik oder ähnliches laufen lässt. Will man nämlich einfach nur absolute Stille, dann haben alle meine Bose Kopfhörer (4 verschiedene Modelle unterschiedlicher Bauart) ein riesiges Manko: es ist immer ein megastörender Dauerton zu hören, fast wie ein Tinnitus. Und hier schlagen die Technics die Bose dann letztlich auch beim Aktive-NC!! Denn mit den EAH-AZ100 ist auch ohne Musik Ruhe. Kein Dauerton! Die grad noch so durchdringenden Außengeräusche sind tatsächlich zu vernachlässigen, da längst nicht so störend wie der nervige Dauerton. Damit ist auch beim ANC Technics der Gewinner! Den Dauerton gibt es dafür in der Einstellung ‚Umgebungsgeräusche‘ sowohl im ‚Transparent-Modus‘ als auch im ‚Aufmerksam-Modus‘ wenn man keine Musik hört. Nicht laut, aber doch deutlich wahrnehmbar. Im Transparent-Modus kann man über Regelung den Dauerton noch etwas ‚wegregeln‘. Im Transparent-Modus ist der Ton etwas höher als im Aufmerksam-Modus. Für mich nicht ganz so ausschlaggebend, zumal ich fasst ausschließlich den Transparent-Modus nutze und da über den Regler einen Weg gefunden habe, den Dauerton wegzuregeln. Das passt so schon. Vielleicht bekommt Technics das ja mal durch ein Software-Update in den Griff - sollte sowas technisch möglich sein. Da bin ich nicht genug im Thema um das beurteilen zu können. Es gibt für Musik die Möglichkeit verschiedene voreingestellte Klangprofile einzustellen, u. a. ist ein Klangprofil für Vocal (z. B. für Hörbücher, Podcasts), und eigene Klangprofile zu erstellen. Für mich, gerade beim Musik hören, ist der absolute super Hit ‚Dolby Atmos‘! Ein Hörgenuss ohne gleichen, bei klassischer Musik genauso wie bei Rock, Pop oder Jazz. Es ist, als sitzt man in jedem einzelnen Instrument und hört es von oben, unten, hinten, vorne, links und rechts. Gefühlt ist mein eingehüllt in die Musik. Ein wahnsinns Musikerlebnis welches ich so bisher noch nie mit irgendeiner Art von Kopfhörern hatte (und wir haben daheim schon einige Gute)! Das kannte ich bislang nur von unserer Anlage im Wohnzimmer. Noch etwas ganz banales: laden und Laufzeiten. Laden läuft super, auch auf MagSafe-Ladegeräten. Ich komme, selbst wenn ich viel telefoniere und viel Musik höre, etwa zwei Tage mit einer Ladung der Earbuds und des vollständig geladenen Aufbewahrungs- und Ladecase locker aus. Die Earbuds liegen dann über Nacht zum Laden im Case und sind morgens wieder voll und frisch und munter für neuen Hörgenuss. Ach ja, die App ist super! Kein Vergleich mit der anderer Hersteller. Tolle Möglichkeiten die In-Ears individuell anzupassen. Übersichtlich, gute Erklärungen in den Einstellung-Möglichkeiten, Möglichkeit die Earbuds zu suchen, es wurde eigentlich an alles gedacht. Zumindest vermisse ich nichts. Würde ich die EAH-AZ100 wieder hergeben? NIEMALS!!!!!! Würde ich die wieder kaufen? UND OB!!!! Die nächsten sind übrigens schon bestellt … werden ein Geschenk für meinen Mann!

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

I’ve had this product for about a month now and I wanted to share my experience. The product is absolutely excellent and has exceeded my expectations. Since I work on construction sites, I used to have trouble both hearing the other person and being heard clearly during phone calls. Now, no matter if there is an excavator, jackhammer, or any other machine operating, both sides can hear each other with crystal-clear sound. In this regard, the Technics EAH-AZ100 is very successful. In terms of fit, I can’t say it is the most ergonomic pair of earbuds I’ve ever used, but since they include 4 (maybe 5) different sizes of silicone ear tips, I can say the overall fit and stability are above average. Unfortunately, I dropped them twice on a hard surface. (Note: They didn’t fall out of my ears; I dropped them from my hand.) Luckily, there has been no issue with the sound quality or microphone. It’s definitely not a fragile product. The sound quality is really good. If you are a big music lover, you may even notice details in songs that you have never heard before. Unfortunately, I don’t find Technics’ own app very successful in terms of interface design. To switch between ambient, transparent, or active noise cancellation modes, you either need to open the app or use the touch controls on the earbuds. Sometimes the app fails to show the connection as well even though it is already connected.. Overall, the combination of the sound quality, ANC performance, and especially the microphone quality (which is truly impressive) made my overall experience with this product extremely positive. I highly recommend it to everyone. By the way, with my usage, the battery easily lasts at least two days.
