Technics’ flagship EAH-AZ80 true wireless earphones offer effective active noise cancellation (ANC), an adjustable sound signature, and excellent connectivity options, but they face tough competition in light of their $299 price. The company's EAH-AZ60M2 earbuds ($249), for instance, give you all the same features (including LDAC support) and cut costs by swapping the 10mm drivers for slightly less capable 8mm ones. But overall, it's the $249, second-generation Apple AirPods Pro that remain our Editors' Choice winner in this price bracket; they offer appreciably better noise cancellation and a more seamless mobile experience on supported devices.Upscale Specs and Design Available in black or silver, the EAH-AZ80 earphones look sharp, with a matte exterior and a flat outer panel that features engraved concentric circles and the Technics logo.

The true wireless Technics EAH-AZ80 earphones offer pleasing sound, good noise cancellation, and excellent codec support, though they don't quite outmatch similarly priced competitors.
Quality audio performance with rich bass and bright highs; Effective noise cancellation; Supports LDAC; Wireless charging case; Hands-free Alexa
Expensive; Convoluted app and on-ear control layout
Both models offer Bluetooth multipoint pairing with up to three devices, alongside improved noise-cancelling microphones
Punchy yet balanced audio; Effective noise cancelling; Comfy and secure fit;
ANC on battery life not the greatest; LDAC and multipoint don’t play nicely together; Custom EQ options could be more expansive;
There's no two ways about it - Technics has done a great job with the tuning of the EAH-AZ80, and they present themselves as a real contender in this busy part of the market. They still can't scare off the biggest contenders when it comes to noise cancellation, but from a music perspective they are confident, detailed and expressive, and only that play-it-safe treble takes a bit of shine from an otherwise assured performance.
Confident, detailed sound; Decent noise cancelling; Nice design; LDAC support;
Treble lacks some sparkle;
