EAH-AZ80E-K Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancelling, 3 Device Multipoint Bluetooth, Comfortable In-Ear Earphones, Wireless Charging, Silver

After two weeks of extensive testing, I can confidently say that the Technics EAH-AZ80E wireless earbuds have set a new standard in premium audio. As a follow-up to the already impressive AZ70, these earbuds deliver improvements across the board that make them worth every penny for serious audio enthusiasts. Sound Quality: Audiophile-Grade Performance The sonic performance of the EAH-AZ80E is nothing short of exceptional. Featuring Technics' newly developed 10mm dynamic drivers with acoustic control chambers, these earbuds deliver an expansive soundstage with pinpoint instrument separation. Bass response is rich and well-controlled without overwhelming the mids, while the high frequencies sparkle with detail and airiness that rivals over-ear audiophile headphones. The natural tonal balance makes these suitable for any genre—from classical orchestral pieces to bass-heavy electronic music. What truly impressed me was the dynamic range - subtle details in complex recordings emerged with clarity I rarely experience in wireless earbuds. Active Noise Cancellation: Industry-Leading The AZ80E's noise cancellation technology has received a significant upgrade. Using a dual hybrid system with feedforward and feedback microphones, these earbuds create an impressive cone of silence even in challenging environments like airplane cabins and busy coffee shops. What sets them apart is the adaptive noise cancellation that automatically adjusts based on your environment without the uncomfortable pressure sensation many ANC earbuds create. Multipoint Connection & Connectivity One feature that has transformed my daily workflow is the enhanced multipoint connection capability. The EAH-AZ80E can maintain simultaneous connections to three devices (up from two in previous models), switching seamlessly between them. During my testing, transitioning from work calls on my laptop to music on my phone was instantaneous and reliable. Bluetooth 5.3 support with aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and AAC codecs ensures exceptional wireless audio quality and rock-solid connectivity regardless of your device ecosystem. Battery Life & Charging Battery performance exceeds expectations with: - 7.5 hours of playback with ANC enabled - 12 hours with ANC disabled - 24 hours total with the charging case (ANC on) The wireless charging case now supports fast charging, providing 70 minutes of playback from just a 10-minute charge perfect for those moments when you're heading out the door and realize your earbuds need a boost. Comfort & Design Technics has refined the ergonomics from previous generations, creating a secure yet comfortable fit even during extended listening sessions. The premium materials - including the brushed aluminum accents on the case - convey quality craftsmanship that justifies the price point. The IPX4 water resistance rating provides peace of mind during workouts or unexpected rain showers. App & Controls The Technics Audio Connect app offers extensive customization options without overwhelming users. The 5-band EQ allows for precise sound tailoring, while the touch control customization ensures the earbuds work exactly as you prefer. The improved touch sensitivity strikes the perfect balance - responsive enough to register intentional taps but not so sensitive that it triggers unwanted actions when adjusting the earbuds. Call Quality Call performance has received a substantial upgrade with eight microphones (four per earbud) and advanced beamforming technology. Even in windy conditions, my voice came through clearly to callers, and the enhanced voice isolation effectively filtered out background noise. Value Proposition While positioned in the premium segment, the EAH-AZ80E delivers value that justifies its price tag. The combination of exceptional sound quality, cutting-edge features, and refined user experience makes these earbuds a worthwhile investment for discerning listeners who don't want to compromise. Verdict The Technics EAH-AZ80E earbuds represent the pinnacle of what's currently possible in true wireless audio. With class-leading sound quality, impressive noise cancellation, and thoughtful features like enhanced multipoint connectivity, they've earned their place as my new everyday earbuds. If you're looking for wireless earbuds that can satisfy audiophile sensibilities while offering practical features for daily use, the EAH-AZ80E deserves a spot at the top of your list. **Rating: 9.5/10** *Pros: - Exceptional sound quality with natural tonal balance - Outstanding noise cancellation without pressure discomfort - Triple device multipoint connectivity - Impressive battery life with fast charging - Premium design and comfortable fit - Comprehensive app customization *Cons: - Premium price point - No aptX Lossless support (though LDAC largely compensates) - Slightly larger case than some competitors

I had the AEH-AZ60M2 first. Sound and performance was fantastic but kept falling out of my ear which is an ongoing problem. Got these as I thought the advertised 'concha fit' would help. And it did, but I wasn't happy with the sound as I felt that I had to hold them firmly to my ear to get decent bass and even though they didn't fall out, they constantly felt like they were about. So, not happy with with that and for me, this is a lot of money. About to return them and whilst I was researching other buds I thought let me go back to the medium tips and give that a go (I've always tried the smallest tips as they work the best with what I believe to be odd shaped ears.) Gamechanger! Fit is perfect, sound is amazing and with all the features these have, these headphones are perfect and indeed, MAGNIFICENT! As I said, sound and fit is as good as I could hope for. App is easy to use and gives me everything that I need. Touch controls are brilliant, easy and if I was to choose to do so, changeable. Being able to connect to three devices is so convenient as I do actually need that daily when working and it works seamlessly. Ambient sound is great and I can walk around and have conversations with no problem whatsoever and even though I have never tweaked the settings since I set it up, I think it's great that I could if I chose to! I know some of the reviews say ANC isn't as good as some of the other top of the range buds. I work from home so it really isn't an issue for me and if I'm out and about, I wouldn't want to shut the world out. Plus I have nothing to compare this to as I have never owned a set of ANC earbuds. All I can say is it works fine for me and that I have no complaints. Battery life seems fine for me. I have only ever used it for about two hours max so don't know how accurate the 7 hours prediction is. Calls are excellent and nobody that I have spoken to has had any complaints at all and I can hear them fine. I am so glad that I came across these, they have made me fall in live with listening to music again although I do normally listen to podcasts and audiobooks for which these are equally magnificent!

Finns inget dåligt med lurarna, passformen är perfekt, ljudet är på en helt annan nivå, appen och funktioner är top class.

Valgono ogni euro speso, la scelta dei tappini di gomma è ampia e contrariamente ad altri in-ear questi non cadono neanche andando sui san pietrini con la bicicletta. Per quanto riguarda l'audio è veramente spettacolare, la resa è piuttosto neutrale con un pò enfasi sugli alti. I bassi sono ben presenti, bilanciati e non nascondono nulla degli altri strumenti. Se cercate super bassi forse non sono gli auricolari per voi, ma vi assicuro che dopo un pò di riscadalmento iniziale provate con Tidal in LDAC sono rimasto impressionato. A parte i Samsung non ho altri in-ear di paragone, quindi li paragono a come sento sul mio setup hi-fi da scrivania e sono molto soddisfatto. Dato che anche l'occhio vuole la sua parte aggiungo che esteticamente sono molto belli e hanno un feeling "premium". L'applicazione è basilare ma funziona molto bene, si possono personalizzare i comandi touch e c'è anche un equalizzatore più che ottimo, inoltre in alto a sinistra un'icona vi conferma se siete collegati in LDAC. Per l'ANC non mi pare a livello delle marche più gettonate come samsung, bose ecc. L'audio in chiamata è buono, ma se indossate solo un'auricolare l'interlocutore vi sentirà male e lontano. In poche parole se le comprate per la musica (e non per le telefonate) e le usate con l'ANC disattivato rimarrete sicuramente soddisfatti.

Comprei há 10 meses. Comprei porque me quis converter ao wireless e as críticas online eram unânimes que estes eram muito bons e apesar de não serem "os melhores" em nenhuma categoria, estavam entre os melhores na maioria das categorias. Não fiquei desapontado. - Som detalhado de excelente qualidade. Estou a apreciar detalhes novos em músicas que já ouvi mil vezes... Oiço principalmente metal e rock e depois de tentar várias customizações no equalizador, descobri que a configuração predefinida "dynamic" resulta muito bem para mim. - Bom noise cancelling. Ando de metro e não cancela totalmente esse ruído, como é óbvio, mas a diferença é abissal e suficiente para aproveitar até música tranquila enquanto leio um livro! - O modo de transparência também funciona bem. - Estáveis. Não caem quando corro (era um ponto importante para mim). São bem confortáveis. Se usar 1h sinto um ligieiro desconforto, mas menos tempo que isso nem se dá por eles. - Bluetooth funciona bem. Costumo usar no trabalho ligado em simultâneo ao telemóvel para música e ao PC para o caso de receber chamadas Teams. - Controlos ok. Não adoro os sistema de ter de dar toques repetidos mas funciona bem o suficiente se não quiser mesmo tirar o telemóvel do bolso. Gosto que dê para costumizar através da app. - Bateria, nunca testei durações muito longas. Uso diariamente e carrego só de vez em quando, normalmente por períodos curtos durante o dia, e chega. - App. Não uso muito mas funciona bem. Dá muito poucas notificações e avisa para fazer limpeza! - Tem função de perdidos e achados, mas nunca testei. Resumindo, posso recomendar como um produto de excelente qualidade, que deve agradar à maioria dos utilizadores mais exigentes.

Les Technics EAH-AZ80E impressionnent surtout par la qualité audio. Le son est net, détaillé, avec un très bon équilibre entre les basses et les aigus. Rien n’est trop exagéré, ce qui plaira à ceux qui préfèrent une restitution fidèle plutôt qu’un son gonflé artificiellement. Le réducteur de bruit fait bien le travail, même s’il n’est pas au niveau des modèles les plus agressifs du marché. Pour les trajets ou les bureaux bruyants, ça reste largement suffisant. L’isolation passive est aussi très correcte grâce aux embouts bien conçus. Beaucoup d’utilisateurs soulignent le confort, surtout pour les longues sessions. Ils tiennent bien, même en marchant. La connexion multipoint fonctionne sans accroc et l’application Technics permet quelques réglages pratiques sans être compliquée. Côté autonomie, ça tient facilement une journée d’utilisation mixte avec ANC activé. L’étui est compact, bien fini, et inspire confiance. 👉 En résumé, les EAH-AZ80E sont des écouteurs premium qui misent sur la qualité audio et le confort avant tout. Ils ne cherchent pas à impressionner avec des basses artificielles : ils sonnent juste, proprement et de manière très maîtrisée. Une valeur sûre pour ceux qui aiment un son précis sans compromis.

10x mieux que des Bose earudds. A tout point de vue. Tout marche nickel. Qualité du son, qualité de fabrication, qualité et rapidité et simplicité de la connexion bluetooth tout y est. Le top! Reste à tester la longévité mais le produit a vraiment l'air très bien conçu.
