Customer Ratings & Reviews

As I’ve said in other reviews, I love the Technics line and feel like you know you’ll be getting quality with it. That is absolutely the case with theses earphones, but the difference here is, I also had the opportunity to try the model one step (half a step maybe?) below these (AZ60). Here’s the thing, there’s a noticeable price difference between this and the AZ60s, but not a huge difference in the specifications between the two. The main difference is the driver size which is 8mm on the AZ60s and 10mm on these (AZ80). Yes, the larger driver size is meant to produce stronger sound waves. But keep in mind that every other spec between the two models is the same, plus the same features (noise canceling, water resistant, controls, app, etc.) With all of the above in mind, these earphones produce excellent sound (calls are clear and crips and music is deep and almost seems to flow through you as you listen). They have a sleek design, easy setup/connectivity, and a cool app that works as expected. BUT all of that is offered in the AZ60 model as well. I have owned a lot of different speakers and headphones, and frankly, I really don’t hear much of a difference between the two models. With that in mind, these are fantastic earphones that produce the quality of sounds you’d expect from Technics, but I don’t think they are better or offer enough of an upgrade to the AZ60 to warrant the price difference. So, while I recommend the product itself, I would also recommend the AZ60 over these, the AZ80 model.

The sound quality is good and I like the app that allows me to customize my sound and the level of the sound cancelling. I am petite and have small ears and these have been comfortable to wear for multiple online meetings. My users tell me my mic quality is clear and doesn't cut out. Since my ears are small, with the little bumpout on these they don't quite go into my ear to make the noise cancellation as effective as I think it could be. The noise cancellation is good, but could be better if I had a more snug fit. I have these and the non-premium version, and although these are more comfortable to wear for long periods, I find myself using the non-premium version more often since they fit in more snugly and I get better noise cancellation from the snugger fit. These were simple to pair with my work computer and my iPhone and call and audio quality is good on both devices. I have an older laptop for work and these earbuds have had an issue staying connected a couple of times. I put them back in the case and take them out and they've reconnected and worked fine. I love that these are wireless charging. Easy to place them on my nightstand dock that has a spot for this. These are lightweight in and out of the case. These have a nice sound quality, the app allows you to customize your sound and noise cancellation level, they charge easily on a wireless charging pad, and are easy to travel with.

I looked at these 300 ear buds well revied and revommended. Order from bestbuy.com and never recieved in the mail. Should of just ordered from amazon

THE BREAKDOWN: These Technics- HiFi True Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancelling and 3 device multipoint connectivity with wireless charging are excellent. These things are beautiful and state of the art! So, for all the things that I found simply amazing! The sound quality is top notch with dual 10mm dynamic drivers and LDAC technology. One of the coolest features of the Technics- HiFi True Wireless Earbuds is You can seamlessly connect to and switch between 3 Bluetooth-enabled devices. The Bluetooth range is about 33 feet which really isn’t bad. It is IPX4 water resistant. I had no issues with these on several running days in the heat. You get up to seven hours playback with the active noise cancelling on and 24 hours back-up with the case. The advanced noise cancelling isn’t bad, but it isn’t the best. I feel as if it does a good job at low and mid sounds, but the higher end sounds seem to creep in. PRO’s: - Absolutely stunning sound quality - Solid build and premium design - Good Bluetooth range CON’s: - Average Active noise cancellation - Pricey SUMMARY: Overall, this product worked as intended, and I would recommend this to a friend if they were in the market for an item like this.

The Panasonic Technics - Premium HiFi True Wireless Earbuds with Noise Cancelling, 3 Device Multipoint Connectivity, and Wireless Charging are a great addition to the ever-growing market of wireless earbuds. They come with all the features expected from a high-end pair of wireless earbuds and have even managed to improve some of these common features. One of the first things I noticed and really liked about these Panasonic Technics may not matter to some people but to me, I really like the shape and design of the wireless charging case. There is no wasted space, just enough space to hold the earbuds. I don’t like how some other wireless earbuds come in bulkier cases and some of these don’t even have wireless charging. This is not a problem with the Panasonic Technics. The shape and design of the earbuds themselves is very nice as well. Various sized earpieces are included in the package and I was able to find just the rights size for me despite my ears being on the smaller side of the spectrum. This is important because some earbuds in the past have hurt my ears after extended use due to my ears being a bit on the smaller side and more sensitive but The Panasonic Technics feel great in my ears even after long sessions with them in. When it comes to quality, the Panasonic Technics are among the best wireless earbuds I have ever used both in terms of physical quality and sound quality. The JustMyVoice technology which uses 8 high-sensitivity MEMS mics makes a big difference when taking calls over the earbuds. I typically listen to music from my cell phone throughout my work day but I often receive work calls which I am able to answer from my cell phone so having the ability to quickly answer calls while already using the earbuds is a great feature. I also really like the 3-point multipoint connection feature which allows me to also have the earbuds connected to my computer and switch over to that audio when needed. As for the noise-cancelling features, they expectedly include an active noise cancelling setting as well as an Ambient mode setting, but what is really interesting and different is the Attention mode which reduces unwanted external noise in noisy environments while making it easier to hear peoples' voices. What is even cooler about these various modes is that they can be customized along with many other things in the free Technics Audio Connect app. Overall, I am very impressed with the Panasonic Technics - Premium HiFi True Wireless Earbuds and I highly recommend them!

These earbuds have outstanding sound quality. High notes are crystal clear, and using the super bass setting on the app, the bass is booming. Out of the box, setup is easily completed using the app. Features include active noise cancelling/ambient sound enhancement/off, an equalizer with presets, 3 device multi point connectivity, and built-in voice control. These earphones easily connected to my devices and are easy to use including making and taking calls. I've used these in a workout center where they play music really loud and the noise cancelling feature works great. The gym music was blocked out and I could hear all the highs and lows in my music the way it was meant to sound and be heard. The wireless charging is done through the charging/carrying case that comes with the earphones. You charge the case then the earphones automatically charge when you return them to the case after each use. I've used mine five times so far an hour each time and the case is still recharging them without having to recharge the case yet. Overall these earphones are just outstanding. They're expensive but you get what you pay for.

I've used dozens of BT headsets over the years, and what typically happens is the "honeymoon" period is fantastic, but soon, the issues start arising. So much so, that I can typically tell the signs from the first couple listens. So far, none of those signs have been evident in these beauties. They stay put, the sound is uniform despite the situation (work or working out), and the controls function as they should with little error. The sound is stunning. The bass response motivates my boxing. My podcasts sound crisper in their reproduction, including those that aren't mixed well. When learning new songs for performance, the highs and mids are clear and clip free even at high volumes. I feel like I'm getting the best reproduction available for a set of BT earbuds. I found the range to be typical, if not slightly better. When connected to several devices, walls can be your worst enemy, but on a singular connect, the range goes fairly far, even in the dreaded mystery of the signal blocking bathroom. Speaking of multipoint, I'm loving it. I am one of those users when using a dual connection says, "if I only had one more." Now, I have a set that can roll with me all day (battery barring), without having several sets for different purposes. And yes, the switching has been working fine without any extra work on my end. Battery is nothing amazing, but the different ways to charge are what takes the cake. Specifically, the wireless. Now, I can do power sharing in the downtime to extend battery range in those times where I don't have a plug and fast charger available. This isn't new for many, but it's very intuitive here. Haven't touched the app, as I loved the sound right out of the box. Note that these are splashproof, not waterproof. While it's rated for workout, I'd be cautious in super sweat sessions or downpours. These are now my daily drivers. Excellent sound and functionality with very few hiccups. Hopefully, it stays that way!

I am a guy that loves the simplicity of having a MacBook and phone and many different other tech fun toys that all work together but also realize that some other brands provide quality and should be considered based on that versus name brand recognition. For me Technics is new. Here are my thoughts: Feel and design: well they feel expensive and have a really awesome charging case that I like. I don’t find it too big or too heavy. Audio technology: I am not an expert or musician so won’t go into how big or what a 10mm drive means as I have no idea except I will say that the sound is so crisp and extremely clear. Songs that I love and have heard so many times sound a little different with the noises or instruments being easier to pinpoint. Ergonomics: Will it fit? We all have different inner ear dimensions. Yes! It comes with plenty of choices so no issue here Transparency and noise cancellation: Well it makes me rethink my opinion that my other buds are “special”. The technics do so well with both. Connectivity and compatibility: zero and I mean zero issues with my Apple products (phone and Mac). Sorry I never test battery as I charge my stuff so regularly. Verdict: very worth it! Love them.

Technics again made really great headphones and were very impressive. Sound great and has deep bass. Cleararty was amazing. Short of the review, The $50 "Premium" price doesn't seem to warrant much over the Technics HiFi True Wireless Earbuds without the Premium. Out of the box was a nice experience with instructions showing you how to set up the headphones. There is a QR code that you can easily open with your camera app to download the technics app for your phone. it was quick and fast to set up the earbuds according to the directions in my case. More inside the box are warranty and other information about your device. a very short USB-C cord is supplied and so are earbud replacement tips. Using both pairs of Technics I feel as if they are the same. With premium materials on the earbuds on these. That is not to say that these are bad earbuds, At the start of the review I talked about how they have deep bass and great sound quality which they have. They are nicely designed as the other pair and fit comfortably as well. However, there is not something you can use for activities such as sports. Enjoying my day, relaxing, and cooking using these how every was a better enjoyment around my home. What a nice feature is wireless charging on the case so you can set it down to charge while you do other activities in your life. 3 hours extra with the charging case / 4.5 hours of battery life with Noise-canceling / 7.5 hours without Noise-canceling. Excellent amount of battery life to listen to all my favorite artists. when placing earbuds inside your ear, make sure the "Technics" logo is right-side up. As a tester of both products; the $50 extra here doesn't seem to do much for me. Of course, there are other earbuds out there with this price tag but if you looking for other manufacturers there is nothing wrong with these at all. I like how they feel inside the ear, they sound good, and they are "premium" but I would go for the brand without the premium. Panasonic knows sound so I suspect this isn't their last go around with earbuds. Eventually, they will get it right in this category. 3 out of 5 stars.

I've never been a serious "audiophile," but I think know good sound when I hear it. I’ve tried lots of earbuds over the years from Beyerdynamic to Sony’s wireless XM4’s. The XM4’s were great until an update messed them up, so I started looking for something better. After testing several $300 earbuds, including the Sony XM5, JBL Tour Pro 2, Bose QC Ultra, and AirPods Pro 2, each had strengths, but also had alot of bugs like poor call quality outside, or disappointing sound. Then I tried the Technics EAH-AZ80 earbuds, and I was impressed! These have no bugs, no connectivity issues, and the sound quality is fantastic—warm, dynamic, and clear across all genres. The EQ options allow for tons of customization, and the noise-canceling (NC) is some of the best I've seen. Even in very loud environments, like an ice-skating rink with blasting music, the NC was strong enough for me to enjoy my music without distraction. Transparency mode is also good, though not as perfect as the AirPods Pro 2. Call quality on the Technics is where they really stand out. Even in noisy settings, the person on the other end hears me clearly, which none of the other earbuds managed nearly as well. Battery life is also solid, and while charging feels slow, it's worth it for these results. Overall, I’m thrilled with the Technics AZ80.

In the box: • EAH-AZ80 earbuds • Charging case • USB-C to C cable (8.5 inch) • 7 pairs of tips (short and long extra small, short and long small, medium, large, and extra large) [Note: the medium tips came installed.) • Printed startup guide, warranty, and safety information (in MANY languages) I reviewed the EAH-AZ80 in black just over a year ago. The midnight blue version is attractive, functionally identical, and one of my top two “go-to” TWS earphones. I own one other brand that slightly out-performs the AZ80s in terms of sound quality, but the AZ80 is tops for ANC performance. For travel, where ANC is a must, the AZ80s are my favorite. The sound signature is flat with no pronounced bass or treble and the sound stage is spacious on well-recorded tracks. The Technics Audio Connect app is the most functional of ALL of the major brands that I have reviewed. The JustMyVoice feature filters out background noise on telephone calls. Together, ANC and JustMyVoice make the AZ80 an unbeatable performer for telephony. The app will also guide you through the selection of the best combination of tips to optimize ANC (even if a different tip is needed for each ear). Highly recommended!

These really are solid earbuds. They were really easy to setup out of the box and figure out what size eartips to use, and all sizes were included in the box. The sound quality was great overall and comparable to most premium earbuds I've owned. The active noise canceling also works really well, it really drowns out the background noise when present so you can focus on a conversation or just listen to your music. It also has a really good quality microphones, when I use it for work calls, people can hear me loud and clear. I've also noticed it does a good job at avoiding interference from other devices. The case is also sleek and the products just looks and feels like a premium product. Overall, I highly recommend these earbuds for everything from phone calls to video calls to just listening to music. It also does a great job switching between multiple devices like phones and laptops if you decide to connect it to multiple devices at once. It is also really easy to pair additional devices as well.

The Technics AZ80M2 piqued my curiosity as it holds a name that was once coveted in the audiophile realm. I have always loved Panasonic and their subsidiaries and this device couldn’t have come out at a better time for me. I have had my AirPods for a few years and they were beginning to get tired after the constant use for 2 years. This is how it stacked up and my opinion of the product. Physically, the Technics AZ80M2 feels nice. The case has a textured finish which makes it easier to hold onto when pulling in or out of your pockets/purse. If I could change a design element it would be the texture of the case. It wasn’t my favorite feel, but it had purpose to it. I think I would prefer something with a larger grippy bumpiness. The device is charged by a USB-C connection! I am so happy that the world is finally adopting USB-C as a standard. The case is also a bit larger than the AirPods Pro case. This is because the buds are larger than the AirPods. This is because the Technics AZ60M2 has gesture/touch controls. So far I have only used play/pause and the noise cancellation controls. The gestures/touch controls were easy to use and I haven’t felt overwhelmed by the amount of ways you can control the headphones. The Technics come with a plethora of tip options so you can find your ultimate comfort fitment. I have let my wife use theses a few times as well and she is very picky when it comes to in ear monitors. She was able to find the right fit with minimal effort. Sound wise, the Technics sound amazing! Nonetheless, the headphones sound great. The noise cancellation works really well. I could easily wear them for an extended period of time with minimal fatigue. The packaging of the device was minimal. It is nice to see that companies are taking steps to responsible sustainability. Would I recommend this headphone to others? Absolutely. For someone who is not a diehard Apple fan and wants to try something new, you will not be disappointed.

In the box is the headphones, a charging case, a USB-A to USB-C power cord, instructional manual/quick start guide and 5 different sizes of silicone ear buds. First impression - This is a very slim and sleek case. I am loving the magnetized case with indicator lights. Design - The indicator lights show red to let you know that the case is charging. There is another light in the center that shows different colors of how much battery life is for the case itself. The charge port is on the back of the case where the hinge of the open and closes for the case. It’s pocket sized which is great but there is no wireless charging. Comfort of headphones - The headphones are super comfortable. There are 5 different silicone ear buds and not all of them are round. If you are familiar with the hearing aid inserts, there is one shaped like that. The headphones are incredibly sturdy and the longest that I have worn them at one time so far was 10 hours. I have slept in them and they did not interrupt my sleep. Noise Cancelling - The noise cancelling is really good. You can adjust the type of background noise and still hear a voice or you can completely cancel out all of the noise. (This is done with the app.) Sound - The sound is very clear and there is bass. The midrange is crystal clear. There are multiple equalization options that are preset, for example, it also comes with options like home theater which makes it sound like you are in a movie theater. Battery - The battery so far for the headphones has lasted well over 10 hours with constant use with a single charge. The case will charge the headphones in 15 minutes. So far, I have charged the headphones 5 times before the red light has come on to charge the case. I am not sure how long it takes to charge the case because I didn’t really pay attention because I plugged it up in my car while driving out town. The charging case does take up to 30W charging. Overall they are a GREAT pair of headphones and the only con is you have to take the headphones out of the case in order to access the menu in the app. I would give the headphones a 4.8 out of 5. Would I recommend to friends and family? YES!

The Technics EAH AZ80 earbuds feature high-resolution audio (LDAC), great noise cancelling and just my voice technology for clear phone calls. These earbuds are able to connect through Bluetooth to three devices at once. There are 7 sets of ear gels including 2 shapes of small and 2 shapes of extra small. As a guy with big ears and small ear canals I appreciate the extra small size. Right out of the box, these quickly and easily paired with my phone and sounded great. The soundstage feels wide, deep and very quiet. The app offers tone control and sliders to control the amount of noise canceling or ambient (outside) sound allowed through depending on which mode is chosen. There is also an off mode that does not allow either the noise cancelling or the ambient sound. The noise cancelling works well in noisy restaurants. The ambient sound function is great when I'm on my bicycle. I can listen to my music and still be aware of sounds around me. After a number of phone calls, nobody on the other end could tell I was using earbuds. After playing with the earbuds for a while I wondered if my phone was properly set up to play the high-resolution files. It took a little research to see that my Android phone was not configured to play the LDAC format. A click box in developer options enabled LDAC. My phone has MP3 files in 320 KB/s. My desktop has WMA lossless files in up to 940 KB/s. Both sets of my recordings sound great on these earbuds. I switched over to a high-resolution streaming service and found that the high-resolution files sound amazing. Some of the files I heard were labeled Dolby Atmos, dimensional and the like. While I see no claim that the LDAC codec properly decodes these dimensional files or that these earbuds are designed to reproduce dimensional effects, I did detect some dimensional effects in some of those files and at any rate, they sounded fantastic. These are my new favorite earbuds!

I've tried a few different sets of True Wireless earbuds and while most are fine for normal day to day use on video calls or conference calls for hours on end, they can leave something a bit wanting in the realm of true depth of sound given their small size. Technics seeks to fix that with these HiFi premium earbuds and I would say they've mostly succeeded. The sound IS much better than the other earbuds I've tried (think several major national brands) and it makes a real difference in listening to music or watching a movie using these versus using competing options. They're not QUITE as good as a full set of studio headphones but they're much easier to carry and use, particularly when traveling. The setup, charging and pair experience is quite easy and they come with a number of different ear-side tips for a good fit in most ears - I just ended up using the medium sized options that come pre-installed as those felt the best in my ears. Battery life seems to be good so far and they also work well for conference calls with good noise cancelling and clear audio in both directions. They appear to be well built and look like they'll be durable / usable well into the future. Perhaps the only downside of these is that they're somewhat bigger than other earbuds (and, of course, somewhat higher priced) but the size is used to generate the deeper richer sound and seems like a small trade-off. So if you're a music fan that uses your wireless headset both for work and pleasure, then these are a great option to try - give them a try today!

Technics is on a roll with their stuff for me. I have their turntable and that is a show stopper for family. For me personally these earbuds are amazing. I paired them with my portable gaming system and they are a masterpiece for sound. I am recently playing Starfield on my system and the sound literally feels like I’m in space (or at least what space should sound like). Better yet is that I can pair the earbuds with three devices so at any given time if my phone rings while I’m playing my game I can answer my phone and the earbuds automatically switch over to my call. I didn’t think that feature would be so helpful but I’m a fan for sure. The sound with music is certainly in its own space. The nuances seem small at first but I have earbuds I use for the gym and recently I’ve taken my technics with my and I find myself stopped dead on my tracks when I realize there is something on a track I’ve never heard before. One instance is a Shakira track where she takes a breath at the beginning of the song. My song was changing to this track specifically and the BREATH was so pronounced I thought I had run into someone and I tore the earbud out because I scared myself. I hadn’t experienced sound like this and I’ve had loads of earbuds and headphones of all sorts. You might be thrown off by a name you don’t recognize but don’t let this deter you. I hope you find tracks like me to fall in love with again and discover whole new pieces to songs like I have. These aren’t just for fun they are for experiences!

The Panasonic Technics - Premium HiFi True Wireless Earbuds are an excellent pair of earbuds, if you ignore the HiFi claim you will not be disappointed with these earbuds at all. These are fully wireless, allowing you to use both or just one earbud and have full functionality, they are not wired and they do not require a main earbud to be in to work properly. Controls are on both earbuds with touch controls allowing you to turn the volume up/down, fast forward or reverse, and to skip forward or back. My only complaint with the touch controls is that they are a bit finnicky and extremely sensitive allowing accidental touches to pause whatever you are listening to. I have seen some reviews talking about how these aren't truly HiFi, which I think was a mistake of Panasonic including this buzzword, these are Bluetooth headphones and are therefore limited in quality by that connection method, they sound really great, but if you are into "HiFi" then no of course these will not meet your standard for quality. But, I think for most people these are amazing earbuds and I think Panasonic did themselves a disservice by adding in the HiFi nomenclature and they would have been fine keeping that buzzword out and people wouldn't have anything to complain about with these because they really are amazing earbuds.

After having one pair of these and using them for a few weeks, my wife tried them and loved how they fit and worked with her Android phone. So, we got another set and got the ones that have the bigger woofer and the case has the ability to do the wireless charging. These come with 7 different sets of ear cushions, so it was easy to find the exact ones to fit her ears. After the initial charging of these, it was an easy pair to her phone. I downloaded the Technics Audio Connect app and it is full of sound adjustments, automatic noise cancelling adjustments and so much more. The app even has a 'Find Headphones' section that will emit a sound from the earbuds or it will also show the last know location that you can see on a map. These earbuds can connect up to 3 different devices simultaneously, the headphones automatically connects to the last connected device. The noise cancelling on these are amazing, when mowing grass or in any other noisy environment, the noise reduction is incredible. When listening to music on these, my wife says that these are the best earbuds that she's ever had. When using them making calls, the people that she was talking to did not know that she was using earbuds, the mic on these are great.

Comes well packaged, you get a very small 6” USB-C to USB-C, very simple instructions, 14 different size ear tips, and a charging case that is nice and compact (fits great in the pocket) and has wireless charging. Follow the instructions on how to insert them in your ear, they lock into place with the proper size ear tips. Download the Audio Connect app, now you can adjust the audio, even with an EQ. You tap on the flat areas of the ear pieces to do different things, like pausing and answering calls, ending calls, adjusting volume and changing noise canceling/Ambient modes. Audio quality is the best of the best, the entire range is just like the best you have ever heard. You can adjust audio to your liking with the EQ or choose (in the app) Normal Bass+ Super Base + Vocal Treble + Dynamic Or custom and you adjust the EQ to your liking You can adjust the noise canceling to your liking. Find headphones, by location or emitting a sound. All done in the app. Phone call audio is top notch, music is perfect, noise canceling is great. Driving with the windows down while on a call is ok and that’s the only flaw I could find. Battery life is great especially with the charging case it comes with. Highly recommended.
