The Technics AZ80 delivers a warm sound profile with a well-balanced bass boost and mostly flat mids, providing crisp vocal and instrument reproduction. Its 10mm free-edge dynamic driver supports LDAC for high-resolution audio, though the passive soundstage feels somewhat confined . The standout feature is three-device multipoint connectivity, enabling seamless switching between multiple sources, though LDAC streaming is restricted to two devices simultaneously . Battery life reaches 7 hours with ANC active, extending to 24 hours via the case, and Qi wireless charging adds convenience .
Active noise cancellation is effective for low-frequency rumble like plane engines but trails class leaders like Sony and Bose in mid-range attenuation . Transparency modes include a standard ambient option and a voice-focused "Attention" setting, though both sound less natural compared to AirPods Pro 2 . Call quality is inconsistent: the JustMyVoice technology with eight mics suppresses background noise effectively but can render voices thin or muffled in noisy environments .
Comfort is a strong suit thanks to the ergonomic concha-fit design and seven included ear tip sizes, ensuring stability during workouts or travel . However, the bulky earbud chassis may cause fit issues for smaller ears, and the circular nozzle design can compromise seal for some users . At $299, they face fierce competition from rivals with superior ANC or more compact designs, though their unique triple multipoint and expansive tuning remain compelling for multitaskers .
