Wireless Earbuds, Noise Cancelling Dolby Atmos Bluetooth Earbuds

I bought these for the rave reviews I'd read about the exceptional sound for music playback - which is absolutely incredible - but a surprise feature is the call quality, in terms of what the microphones can pickup: and what these block out. With the "AI" feature turned on, it eliminates background noise on your side. It's so good it's wild. Let's talk about the call quality first. This is a game changer for me, as I'm on MS Teams calls throughout the day - and I have young kids at home as well, plus I will sometimes I have to speak on a call and I'm in the car or not quite in the house and it's windy out. Being on the go is not really something you want to convey in a work call. I picked these up before heading to Disneyland the week of Thanksgiving with the kiddos. While there, my sister called. There were no less than one million people there at that time, many talking near me, music in the background, all this sound. She asked where I was. I said, "Disneyland." She was surprised because she couldn't hear anything in the background. So I looked into it and found out the "AI" voice call setting was flipped on by default. You can actually test this yourself in the accompanying Technics phone app. In the test, it'll continuously record your voice and play it back on a few-second delay. With the AI enhancement OFF, it's great at capturing sound around you like typical earbuds. With it on, it's ultra clear and only your voice. I mean, it's so good I've been telling everyone I know about these. Today I was sitting next to my 3YO, 6" away, who was actively screaming at the 5YO, 3' away. Whoever I'm talking to *cannot hear this*!! I've even been at a DIY car wash with the sprayer in my hand, full blast, on a windy day. While I didn't hear that audio myself, the person I called said they couldn't really hear anything in the background. I seriously cannot believe how good these are. I'm so confident in how well they block out background sound that I will do dishes while I'm unmuted on small group work call. (For much larger group calls, I don't need to experiment: I'll be muted in Teams, turn off my microphone on my phone, and mute these as well.) One feature I haven't tried yet: there's even an AI feature to block background noise on the other end of the call, too. So if your friend is in a noise place, it can block *their* background noise for you. I haven't encountered this scenario yet but I bet it works great. Audio quality is outstanding. There's a built-in EQ, plus your phone's as well, of course. Between the two - and the Dolby Atmos on my Samsung - the bass is surprisingly deep, mid and highs clear, and they have a great sound stage. I listed to music from Qobuz (CD quality at minimum) and very much appreciate HiFi audio. It's fun to listen to music all over again on these earbuds. There's some kind of Dolby Atmos feature built into these where the sound changes if you move your head around. I haven't played with that yet. You also have options to block out background noise when listening to audio (a few ANC settings) and the pass-through feature, too, which lets in background sound and has a voice focus setting that works great. What else: they connect to multiple sources, are comfortable to wear (I can have them in for a few hours straight), and I haven't had issues with battery life despite wearing them for calls much of the day. I'm still getting used to the button taps on the right and left earbuds (one tap for this, long tap for another feature) but these are customizable, too. I would say the one part I'm getting used to is the size. Maybe it's the drivers that make them a little bit bigger. I'm coming from the Jabra Elite 7 Pro's and also the Anker Soundcore sleep buds (which are much smaller and flush with your ear, of course) - so these feel a touch larger. But for the top-notch audio quality and amazing ability to block my background noise for call recipients, it's not an issue. These were on sale before Thanksgiving - maybe check the price history - but for the features here and my new ability to actively move around without concern on work or personal calls, the value is unsurpassed. I absolutely love these and would encourage you to buy them if you want amazing earbuds for music and voice calls.

I bought this because my over-the-ear cans were too bulky when I was out and about town, and my other set of earbuds did not cancel ambient noise on my side when I was on calls. The over-the-ears I will be comparing them to are my Sennheiser BT450s, and my Bose NC700, and the TWS in my comparison are my B&W Pi8's, though I will mention my experience with Sony WF1000M3 that I used to own and a recent LG TWS. What I discovered in half a week of using my Technics AZ100's is that they are surprisingly good earbuds for a reason I didn't consider previously. Drivers and EQ I have experienced with a few headphones, TWS or otherwise, a hiss. The headphones would cancel noise well enough when there is noise, but when there isn't or during quiet moments in a video, there would be a hiss. The AZ100 doesn't have a hiss that I have been able to detect. Above that, the app offers the most precise EQ of all of my devices. Most just offer three frequency ranges, Bass, Mid, and Highs. This app offers seven, eight? The SoundGuys website commented the factory tuning is clumsy and bass heavy. If you take the time with these equalizers, you can get closer to the ideal EQ settings than if you only had three bars to adjust. I would say these drivers produce sound that is equal to any Sennheiser I have used. Out of the box, they sound like my Bose NC700 with punchier percussions -- which is really nice. These are more capable drivers than Sony's and LG's in-ears. I haven't gotten them to sound as good as my BW Pi8, but I'm being picky and the Pi8 are 33% more expensive. Call Quality The only weakness of my Pi8 is that it lets in too much ambient noise when I'm on a call. One time, I was doing the dishes and the AC was blowing, and my mother, who is hard of hearing, was able to call out every one of my activities. I guess it is a way to make the other party feel like they're right there with you, but I don't think that's what most people mean when they say that. I repeated the same test with the AZ100 and my mother could not tell when I turned on the tap or stopped it, when the AC kicked in or stopped, or when I was next to my audible dishwasher. The complaint from mom was that my voice sounded robotic and occasionally I'd sound farther away. The other party on the other end was easy to hear for me. This was not anything that was a weakness of any of my earphones, but I believe with the AZ100, their voice is processed via the EQ. ANC. The Pi8's ANC design is quite nice in that, around the office or at a restaurant, it lets in some of the ambient sound but doesn't let it interfere with what I'm listening to. I hear my environment, so I don't miss my colleague asking for my attention or my server approaching. I hear things but I don't, if that makes sense. The reason I mention that is that the AZ100 doesn't seem to be so well tuned in that regard. At a restaurant playing loud music, it is fainter, but my podcast is still competing against it. At the same time, in the office, faint sounds drop off into near silence but louder sounds don't seem to be affected. At its best, the AZ100 perform as well as my Bose NC700 or the Sony WF1000M3, but I feel this isn't going to be one of its best traits. It's still very good, mind you -- I'm pitting it against class leading cans of the last few years after all -- but if this is something that is very important to you above all else, then it's probably not the best TWS for you. Portability and Touch Controls The case is tiny. I alternate between these and my Pi8 on the weekdays. I carry both in my pocket. This case is smaller, lighter. I did not perform a drop test, because they're new and they're expensive. I did perform drop tests by accident on my Pi8's. Both the case and buds were dropped from hip height and ear height onto tile with no apparent scuffs to the plastic shell or the internal electronics. The touch controls of the AZ100 are more responsive, it felt. The Surprise The AZ100 went in a different direction than the other buds in one major way. They are extremely light. They are lighter than any of the buds I have ever worn. This has a surprising effect. The buds stay very stable in the ear. I can turn my head quickly, and they won't go flying out. I can walk around, and there isn't even the slightest bit of movement. (In my review of the Sony WF1000M3, I commented that they were so heavy and jutted out so much that once, when I was crossing a street and hurried just a little at the end, the buds fell and I was lucky enough to catch them.) Something like that probably won't happen with these, though, once again, I won't be repeating that experiment. These are a compelling entry into the TWS field. If these were released the same time as the WF1000M3, these are probably better in every category except for the ANC tunings. These are better than the LGs, but the LG's offer a UV self-cleaning feature. And the AZ100 can compete directly against many of the higher-end over-the-ear headphones.

Sadly... Amazon is simply not what it used to be. Beyond poor customer service. Inaccurate product information and representation. Poor inspection of refurbished and/or used products. Despite the reviews you see here on Amazon, redditors and other reviewers rave about the Technics AZ100 earbuds, so I thought I'd give them a shot since I'm looking for earbuds that check all the boxes when it comes to sound quality, call quality, strong ANC, great battery life, and overall reliability. I received a pair of heavily used, filled with earwax, crusty, etc, pair of Technics AZ100. These earbuds were inspected and shipped directly from Amazon, not a third party company. I reached out to Amazon to submit a formal complaint for shipping out a fairly expensive set of earbuds in such poor shape, plus for the inconvenience since I use these earbuds for work. The Amazon representative talked me into keeping them and giving me a $100 Amazon gift card plus an additional 20% off. I bit my tongue and accepted the order. That was an awful idea. After carefully cleaning off the earbuds and case, I charged them up and popped the earbuds in and connected them to my phone. First issue happened immediately. The left earbud paired flawlessly, but the right earbud had a wobbly bass sound, almost like a pressurized sound going on and off and then it would pair after about 10 seconds. Once paired, the earbuds were were extremely quiet, and tinny sounding, which I know is not an accurate description from current/past users. Even with turning the volume up, it wouldn't get loud. I also tried making calls with the AZ100... A major letdown. I was told by friends and family that the quality at best was about a 5/10. I do believe I received a defective pair of Technics AZ100. It's a shame. What's really sad is I don't feel like typing out the rest of my poor customer service experience with Amazon and the return process... Amazon has been failing me so much lately that I contemplate whether or not they're worth having anymore. Amazon is no longer as convenient as they once were. Amazon's prices are no longer as competitive as they once were, and their customer service is absolutely no longer top tier as it once was...

Best music and podcast quality I've ever had on a pair of earbuds. Positives: extremely lightweight to the point i barely feel them in my ears, comfortable fit, eq app let me tune it perfectly to my liking and it sounded fantastic, the earbuds controls are simple so I dont have to use my phone all the time to change songs amd adjust volume. The earbuds automatically pause your music if you take them out of your ear and automatically resume when you put them back in which I think it great so I can take them out hear people without interrupting my songs Negatives: the case's magnet is pretty weak, it wont really open on its own but its not tight either, mine didnt come with a charging cable like it shows in the product image but everything else was present

I had heard great things about these headphones and was excited to try them. I have had 3 pairs of the Shure SE215 and when they switched to wireless I have now had 2 pairs of the Aonic 215. I use them mainly for mowing but they are my all around earbuds. When they started coming apart I figured I would give these a try. Heard how good the noise cancelling was, how good the sound quality was etc. After two weeks of use I am glad to be getting back my Aonic 215 from Shure warranty department. They charged me a few bucks to replace the broken part. I would not say I am an audiophile (at least to the extent that others are) but I do like clear sound. Thats why I was excited to hear these. I will say the sound was pretty clear where I can hear all the instruments, but it almost sounded too "enhanced" for lack of a better word. I prefer true acoustic sound. I appreciate it for what it is. I dont need extra bass or HiFi dolby sound. The active noise cancelling was good for noisy rooms where you have varying decibels of sound, but when I used it on my mower I could hear the engine more than I would in my shures. (shure uses a foam plug similar to disposable ear plugs you get at a monster truck show or shooting range. So it completely blocks sound that way rather than using Active Noise Cancelling) I feel like a constant hum type sound makes it past the ANC, almost tricking it. Also, I appreciate how some company are trying to make these so small but yesterday when I was mowing my right earbud fell out. I immediately turned off the engine and had to start looking through the grass before I lost the spot where it fell. I ended up finding it but I have worn shure for over 10 years and I have never dropped one on the ground a single time. I am returning these today now that my shures are out for delivery. I prefer the over ear style, I dont need all the extras and a good foam tip seems to work better than ANC. Just my $0.02

These earbuds are SOOO close to being perfect it drives me crazy. I'm coming from the AZ-80s and most of the features are improved (but not all). Depending on your needs, my issues may or may not be relevant to you so let me break it down for you: Things I Love 1) Transparent Mode & External Mics - these things are AMAZING! They work so good! I was especially impressed when I used them at a concert recently. The measure sound volume at the concert was 100-106db. I poped in the earbuds and set the mode to 14% transparent. The sound was GREAT and the volume level perfect. I tried the same with the AZ-80 but loud environments would override those mics. Not with these. The only time I've had a the external mic flake out is when I was weed-whacking and the string hit some metal siding. Honestly - super impressive! 2) Sound Quality - I have very high standards when it comes to quality SQL. I've used these with many devices including an iBasso DX170 in LDAC mode and my phone. The sound detail is amazing. Hearing things in the music I dont typically hear with a pair of earbuds. Yes, the SQ is really that much better than the AZ-80. 3) Phone Call Quality - Again, compared with the AZ-80, these are WAY better. I regularly take calls in my car and half of the year my convertible top is down. I've been able to have 20min plus conversations at highway speeds with the top down with the other party saying they could barely hear the road noise at all. Well done! Mixed Feelings 1) Size and Shape - while I appreciate the smaller size of the AZ100 earbuds compared to the AZ80, they are a little more difficult to grab. They are more rounded and you have to be a little more intentional about getting a firm grip on them. Once they're in your ears, its a better more streamlined fit but you need to be a little slower and more careful moving them around. 2) Noise Cancellation - when wearing them around home or out on a walk, noise cancellation works great. They seems to have some issues though maintaining the noise cancellation mode on airplanes. I've had the pleasure of testing them on a number of different flights recently and while everything starts off well, after 20-40 mins or so the noise cancelling will start to whoosh out and then back in. It might be something about the white noise of the airplane engines. To fix it, you have to open the app, turn noise cancelling off then back on. I've had this happen more than 25 times on a one hour flight. 2) Battery Life - my fist set of earbuds had a battery drain issue. The left earbud would drain the entire pack just when sitting in the case not being used. Left me with a dead set within less than 24 hours of storage. The set was replaced under warranty and the 2nd set is working as advertised. The warranty process was a little bumpy - more on that below. 3) Warranty - unfortunately I had the opportunity to try out the manufacturer warranty process due to a batter drain issue. Contacting and communicating with support was pretty good - they were responsive and helpful. The only challenge was that the replacement set came back to me in Silver when I returned a set of Black earbuds. When I inquired as to the incorrect color and how I could be sent the same color that had failed, I was pretty much told - too bad. You get what you get. Kind of sucks considering I ordered the color I wanted, they failed in less than 2 months and how I have a functional set ... except for the weird color. A small detail I know but it would have been better if support had notified my first rather than surprising me and then denying my request for the right color. I hope you mileage will vary. Things I Don't Love 1) App Responsiveness & Reliability - in general the App works well once its open and successfully connected. Unfortunately I've had way too many times where the app cannot find the earbuds even when I'm playing music through them and Bluetooth shows connected. I just kill the App and restart but its really flaky. Even the initial load and connection of the app takes annoying longer than I'd like - especially when I'm only trying to change the transparency level or some other basic setting. 2) Touch Responsiveness - switching the earbuds on/off when I'm at home or in a setting where I need to hear a PA announcement (ie. airport) seems to take a little while to register. I know I'm being a little picky but earbuds block you out of the world around you. It should be quick and easy to return your focus to the world around you as needed. Just takes a but longer to register the press and mute the earbuds than is helpful. Many times the announcement was over or I would have missed most of the question by the time I got the earbuds muted. Could be quicker/easier.

I am a slightly reformed earbud junky. I have owned or own almost every credible earbud in the last five or so years. I use both an Android and an Apple phone, an iPad Pro, and a Dell XPS laptop so I am ambidextrous when it comes to devices. I owned the first gen Technics buds and I mostly really like them. Like the Sony buds, they were a bit big but it was a hell of a comeback for the Panasonic owned HiFi company. My current daily drivers are the Sony 1000XM5’s and the Apple AirPod 2 Pros. I love them both. However, the Sony’s are still a bit big and the multi connectivity, while present, isn’t the best. The AirPods are awesome but aren’t great for non Apple products. So, after putting this purchase off for many months, I finally pulled the ripcord and got these. They are awesome. Here is the breakdown: Sound: This is how I start every review on buds because sound is the main purpose of any bud or headphone. The sound here is amazing. This is a single 10mm liquid filled driver that is new technology in a bud. It creates deep sound that is a bit bass leaning. You get strong separation between the low, mid, and high tones. The sound here crushes the AirPods and is equal to the Sonys in my opinion. There is support for LDAC and LE Bluetooth codecs. However, these sound amazing without the high end codecs which is good for Apple fans. Those that love lossless audio though will be glad to have these on board. The sound is almost enough to recommend these but read on because there are many more reasons. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): This is one area I think these buds don’t wipe out the competition. The Bose buds and the Apple AirPods are both a bit better. These are on par with the Sony buds for me. Good but not the best. There are a lot of adjustments in the app but I just leave them on adaptive. I think these will be great for a plane trip as these do a great job on low end noise. Sudden sharper noise gets through though. I do love that these don’t make you feel ear pressure that some buds give you with it on. Overall, while not class leading, the ANC here is still very good. Form Factor: These won’t be to everyone’s liking but they are pretty dynamite. These are smallish stemless buds that have a nice soft finish inside the buds with a nice metal finish on the outside. The look and feel great. I find them comfortable for long periods. Call Quality: The class leading AirPods are still the best, but these run a close second. Technics embedded AI that can identify your voice, enhance it, and cancel out noises around you. Some reviews I read say that this process can end up making you sound a bit robotic but I haven’t had anyone comment on it and I have been asking. Very good calls all around here. The case: I always rate the case in earbud reviews because you frankly interact with the case more than the buds. This is a solid case overall. The brushed metal design is great. It is a good slender case that is similar in size to the Sony buds but metal not plastic. There is a single LED and it does support wireless charging. It is a great case with one nitpick. I wish the magnets were a bit stronger. In a purse or a gym bag, you may find buds flying around. All the other stuff: Battery life here is closing in on class leading. As long as you aren’t using the hifi codecs often, you will get over ten hours of use. Awesome. Connectivity is stable and fast. I have these connected to both of my phones and they connect to both immediately upon pulling out a bud. Further, these easily pass back and forth between the devices as needed. I was on one call today and got another on my work phone. It was ringing me to let me know I had the other call. Awesome. There is Spatial Audio here that sounds great especially for a movie. Lastly, the Technics app deserves a nod here. It is a really great app. Where the Sony app gives you everything, it is very convoluted. This app gives you sound customization, ANC control, and more but without being difficult to use. Oh, and there is a Find My component to the app that allows you to make sounds if you lose your buds or see where you last had them with location data. All so good. I will just say this about what Technics has done here. If these aren’t the best all around buds on the market, they are darn close. I am a huge fan and strongly recommend buying them. **UPDATE**I have had these a for a long time now and I still use them regularly. I ended up getting a set in the new blue color as well for review from Amazon and I love them even more. I also recently got the AirPod Pro 3’s and, while I love them, I still use these exclusively at the office for their multipoint connectivity between my laptop, iPhone, and Fold 7. They just do everything well and are as close to perfection of any buds I have ever owned. Still strongly recommending today.

I've had these AZ100's for about 3 weeks now, and they are amazing. The sound quality is exceptional: excellent stage, detail, bass, mids, and highs are all clean. I did have to tweak the EQ a bit for my preferences, but these buds actually respond to the changes. And, it was amazing how many settings I tried that I actually liked, but were still distinct from each other. These are far better than SoundPeats H3 in this regard, although I was able to dial in the eq on those as well. But get them a little off and the H3's could be painful. The AZ100's manage to allow me to hear everything without any of it disappearing, or any of it becoming overwhelming, regardless of the frequency. I also like the size and comfort. These are small but fit very well. They are snug, but still comfortable without causing any "hotspots" that get sensitive after wearing them for a while. I would add that the fit and shape does a good job at passive noice cancelling for me. But the thing that has impressed me the most is the ANC. I have a particular use case. I'm a cyclist. The wind noise of cycling is always particularly challenging for ANC, particularly once you get past about 15 mph. With most other earbuds I just turn the ANC off on the bike, because at around 17-18 mph it tends to make things worse. But with the AZ100's set on automatic, I could actually hear it adjusting to the wind noise. Even at 20-25 mph they were doing reasonable job. Get past 25 mph, and well the wind is loud, but it's loud regardless of earbuds, ANC, or nothing. But, and here's the kicker, somehow, the AZ100's again set to auto, allow me to hear approaching cars, even from behind, while keeping the wind noise down. Either one of the ANC sound engineers was a cyclist, or there's some kind of voodoo in there. The performance of ANC on the AZ100’s set on automatic is as good or better than the “Wind” setting on Earfun Air Pro 4+. (The H3’s were unusable while riding in any setting including turning the ANC off.) One note: when I first started using the AZ100's I used the default medium size tips, and they were working great. But after using the software to select the "ideal" size, it shifted me to the small size. This fit fine and was stable while riding, however the ANC quality in the wind deteriorated significantly, so I went back to the Medium tips, and things are better. I'm not sure why this is. I suspect I'm right on the line between the two sizes, and the combination of heat and sweat from the physical activity loosens the fit up slightly? Regardless, I get a better seal and ANC performance with one size larger than the software recommended. YMMV. The battery life is great. Phone calls (I've only done a few) have been fine. I really couldn't be happier.

Não recomendo para quem gosta de bass, o som é mais nítido na parte do vocal e do grave, para quem gosta de um ótimo som para puristas ele é ótimo. Mas para quem gosta de bass, batidão ou uma força nos graves aí ele falta com gosto e nem com regulagem consigo ter essa força. Se tem um iPhone e gosta de bass vai no air pods pro 2 ou 3. Agora se é purista e gosta de som limpo e não liga para o batidão pode comprar que não irá se arrepender.

Much more better than bose❤️

سماعات أسطورية بخاصية دولبي اتموس الأسطورية انصح فيها و بقوة

Nice sound! I own the AZ80 and am still purchasing this upgraded version. The earpiece is now smaller and more comfortable than the AZ80.

Wow!! Superaron mis expectativas. Tengo unos bose quiet confort y estos lo superan por mucho en la calidad de audio.
