AZ100 Ear review

It may be surprising to follow a large pair of earphones. The goal is to make improvements where possible without sacrificing anything that people loved about the previous group. This is where the technics found itself with $ 299.99 EAH-OZ100 earIt was announced in CES 2025. It was taken instead with the last leading group of the company, And az80Because of their rich voice and their unique ability to conjugate three devices at the same time. The new buds are looking to increase these strengths with a more dynamic sound and longer battery life and cancel an active noise.

Technologies even rethink the basic sound. Within the last century, there are new “magnetic liquid” drivers – and yes, there is already liquid there. Technics puts an oily material (mixed with magnetic particles) between the driver’s magnet and the vocal coil and says this approach, derived from 1200 dollars in the ear screensLow definition and increased clarity helps exceeding what AZ80s were able to. The same applies to the response of the brightness, with the ability of the Az100s to the excavation deeper in relation to a more influential height. Despite the new approach, there is no world of the difference between the Az80s and the Az100s: both provide great details and the presence through the types of music, although the latest buds have more depth and dress on my ears. I will not only upgrade that.

Fortunately, improvements also extend to the exterior design. AZ100s is not just swollen like their predecessors. Check the visual microphone entrance that added a touch of technology style, which means that these are the one that explodes more faded and unprecedented. But I will take the smaller box every time. This sitting comfortably in my ears from the Az80s. A very smaller pocket box is a little smaller than before, but it is only noticeable if you move side by side. As for durability, water resistance to ear headphones is still unchanged in the IPX4.

If it is proven that anything about signing the sound is frustrating, you can choose between many different eq settings or save three custom situations. I am not a person consulting frequency charts when reviewing earphones, but I listened to enough pairs to separate wheat from the peel. This rank there with my favorite sound quality like Sennheiser Momntum True Wireless 4. And I think they go beyond AirPods Pro 2 and Galaxy Buds 3 ProWhich is very good in itself. Bluetooth LDAC and the latest LC3 / LE audio protocol include, so AZ100s must at the end. Work with Auracast.

Technologies are also the mobility on the spatial sound train. Companion app now has an earphones now contains Dolby Vision (with optional head tracking) that can make your songs look more expanding and overwhelming if you prefer it. I have learned that some people really enjoy this kind of influencing some songs – even if it is fake/virtual – while others like me are happy to ignore them. But if you are a fan, it is now on the Az100s and you can use it with any type of media on your phone.

This Technics app remains filled with the edge with other settings, and they exceed the allocation of controls or adjusting the amount of noise that comes in transparency (very fragile and natural). You can improve noise canceling for your specific environment with the scrolling bar. Do you want to automatically switch Multipoint whenever you play music on any of your devices? This is there. You can also test how the microphone appears by recording extracts from your voice. It is a lot and can be overwhelming for non -techniques, but I appreciate the how much techniques you enter into it.

The performance of the African National Congress Party is respected – choosing the correct ear tips for the best stamp of a very important matter here – although it does not approach the hero of the ruling, Quietcomfort Ultra. These have superior and costly, but they cannot correspond to the sound. The quality of calls is also very solid. Tecnics’ Focus AI sounds impressive to isolate your voice from any background. The callers told me that I looked an outdoor test of an outdoor test, but they could still make what I was saying.

Technics’s Three-Way Multipoint remains a prominent trick of AZ100s. I am not a multi -task treatment and I rarely find myself more than two devices. But if you often get a third on hand, it works as it is announced. (Just be aware that you cannot use LDAC When you are in this mode, you are supposed to pay to the highest boundaries of Bluetooth.) And you will listen for a longer period: AZ100s can continue to play for up to 10 hours on one charge with AnC empowerment. The case provides another 28 hours.

Just like their predecessors, the ear headphones from Technics’ AZ100 give priority to vocal performance, however in providing the unique ability that AirPods and galaxy buds lack – despite the advantages of the ecosystems concerned of these two competitors. But they are now smaller and more comfortable and last longer. If you do not need a three -way 3 -way point, the label may seem $ 300, very slope. But it is increasingly rare to be able to say “these earphones do something that cannot be more”, and at least at the present time, this is still true in Technics buds.
