Technics Premium Hi-Fi True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Advanced Noise Cancelling, 3 Device Multipoint Connectivity, Wireless Charging, Hi-Res Audio + Enhanced Calling - EAH-AZ80-S (Silver)

One of the best

The best earphones I have bought

Despues de 2 años con ellos puedo decir que son increibles. Incluso despues de tener los AZ100 sigo regresando a los AZ80. Tuve por mucho tiempo un problema con el case que quedaba parpadeando la luz roja y no funcionaba, lo que hice fue arreglarlo con "contact cleaner" bastante y secar bien con los earbuds afuera y el case apagado y se arreglo totalmente. Esta era mi unica queja e iba a poner un rating de 3 estrellas, pero, al ser un problema de suciedad y mantenimiento creo que no tengo mucho de que quejarme. El sonido es increible, son comodos, y la cancelacion de ruido funciona bastante bien, con AAC la bateria facilmente dura 6 horas de constante uso, lo cual es menos de la mitad de los AZ100, pero sigue siendo un muy buen número. En general estoy contento con mi compra Sobre el sonido, no esperes un bajo aplastante, o algo muy "audiofilo" lleno de detalles, soundstage y claridad. Son buenos, decentes, balanceados y tiene sus deficiencias en los agudos. Es un sonido refinado, que aprendes a apreciar. si quieres un sonido mas comercial, saturado y sobre todo mas enfocado a los bajos, los Oneplus buds 3, Nothing Ear 2 o Sony xm5/xm6 son una opcion que te sorprendera más.

I’ll be returning these, which is disappointing. The sound quality is fantastic, the multipoint connectivity works flawlessly, and the app offers great features. Switching between devices like my phone and laptop is quick and seamless. Unfortunately, the right earbud has a constant high-pitched 'tinnitus' sound that is unbearable. I previously bought a pair from JB Hi-Fi but had to return them because the left earbud had the same issue. Hoping it was a one-off problem, I ordered this pair from Amazon, but the issue persists. The noise makes it impossible to wear them without music playing. The hunt continues for another Bluetooth earbud.

Wow. I have been getting earbuds and earphones for years, and been a loyal Sony fan for years. In 2020, I bought the WF-1000XM3, which were great but didn't stay in my ears that well, and then, 2 years later, they decided to start acting weird before one earbud just straight failing in its ANC, rendering it useless for my daily commuting and gym. I then bought another pair of WF-1000XM3s before I wanted to upgrade, and eventually got the WF-1000XM4s. Not even a year later, these "new" XM4s not only are less comfortable (bulky out of my ears), but one earbud just decided to stop charging properly (i.e., left earbud goes from fully charged 100% to 5% in 10-15minutes). Absolutely ridiculous given the money I spent. I was planning to buy the new WF-1000XM5, but with the crappy quality, build, and my history with Sony, I finally decided to abandon the brand altogether and try something new. After numerous review videos, reading, comparing, I landed on these Technics AZ80. And just WOW, absolutely knocked it out of the park. Firstly, the size of the case and earbuds themselves are smaller than the Sony's premium earbuds, so that is already a plus keeping it in my pocket with my wallet. The brushed-metal finish is a very nice touch, less fingerprints. The earbuds fit much smaller and closer than the Sonys, and are comfortable in my ears. The ANC may not be as good as the premium top Sony earbuds, but these cancel noise VERY well for my daily commute. The sound and bass, along with the app, absolutely shocked me to how much I can configure the sound to get what I want (I lean towards a basshead). Finally, the battery is stellar and when I run low, a quick 10-15min charge in the case gives me a HUGE boost in battery time. I think I charged it once in my work week (3 days commuting). And on top of it all, the way it seamlessly connects to multiple devices via bluetooth (my phone, my work laptop, my PC), I didn't realize how much I was missing this feature in my life going from the WF-1000XM4 from Sony. This is a gamechanger! All in all, 9/10 earbuds and I am going to be keeping my eye on this Technics brand and will be MORE than happy to spend money and buy their future, newer, top-of-the line earbud models because this is EXACTLY what I wanted and EXACTLY what I hoped to find as a replacement for the headache that so-called "premium Sony" earbuds have caused me over the last 5 years.
