The Technics Malaysia EAH-AZ80 is a well-built wireless earbud with a feature list that can outpace its competition. However, it comes at a price—a premium price. Is it worth it though? Click on for more information.
Audio enjoyment is subjective. What works with one person may not work with another. Earbuds fitment, audio levels and even the app used to control the earphones can make of break the enjoyment of the device. That is why I went in with open eyes when I was given theI have been using the AZ80 for just over a week, and my use scenario is not just to listen to music.
The case itself is a very typical-looking charging case, with the status LED located in the gap between the top flap and the body. There is a USB-C at the back to charge and unlike some other wireless earbuds, Technics included wireless charging with the AZ80 so you can charge the case using a Qi-compatible charging pad—or use reverse charging on supported smartphones.
All controls are done with touch, so the outside of the earbuds is a touch-sensitive control area. Both earbuds have it, and each side can have different controls—play/stop, audio volume, ANC on/off or even accept/reject calls. You do need to remember which side does what—I have several times meant to turn off ANC, but instead I stopped my music playback.The AZ80 supports Hi-Res audio, and also supports both AAC and LCAC codecs. LDAC is the high-quality audio technology from Sony.
One important metric for me is the comfort level of the earbuds. You do get different earbud sizes to fit your ear canal, and the tips I chose was comfortable for me to wear the buds for hours at a time.On paper, Technics says that the AZ80 can last for 7 hours with ANC on . The charging case meanwhile can last the earbuds up to 24 hours with ANC.
