TechnicsPremium Hi-Fi True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Advanced Noise Cancelling, 3 Device Multipoint Connectivity, Wireless Charging, Hi-Res Audio + Enhanced Calling - EAH-AZ80-K (Black)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“Lost my Bose — Technics stepped up”Kid lost my Bose, so I grabbed these Technics. Worth it. Not as loud as Bose, but the sound is way better — real detail, actual depth. First time I’ve felt a true audiophile vibe from earbuds.They feel more adult than Bose or Beats — clean, premium, serious gear. The best part? They don’t over-process the bass like Beats or even some Sony buds do. They give you that real studio monitor vibe in your ears: it knocks when it’s supposed to, stays raw when it’s supposed to — mud stays muddy. So when you bump something with that dirty 808 rumble or an old-school track with grimy EQ, you feel it like the producer cut it. Not all tightened up into a fake sparkle.I work in loud electrical rooms — calls stay clear, though sometimes people say I sound too clean or robotic. The app has mic settings and EQ options, so you can tweak the sound or turn the noise filtering off if you don’t like it.One thing: you don’t hear your own voice in the buds, so I catch myself asking, “Can you hear me?” — especially when I have to talk quietly in a quiet place. But every time, people say, “Oh yeah, loud and clear.”Unlike my old Bose, I can use either earbud on its own — so one can charge while I keep listening with the other. It’s perfect for long days. I can have continuous use in one ear for hours on end and easily get through a plane flight and an 8-hour workday on one full case charge.⚠️ One warning: the case kinda sucks. Drop it in the airport and your buds will launch across the terminal, causing a scene and probably getting TSA to search you. Pro tip: I use a rubber band; however, I was told there are silicone sleeves and 3rd-party travel cases that zip up or lock shut — get one so you don’t lose your buds (or your dignity) at Gate B2.Bonus: with foam tips, no sound leak. I can blast music on a plane and the guy next to me doesn’t hear a thing. Multi-device connection is smooth, fit is comfy even for my huge freaking ears.If you want clarity, comfort, and that true “what you hear is what they made” sound in your pocket, these do the job.Now just hoping I don’t lose these before I get ‘em paid off. 😂

Amazing ear buds. Upgraded from the az-60’s to the 80’s. Big difference. Case feels better, the earbuds snap right into place and almost feel like they are spring loaded. The sound quality is great. The transparency mode is literally the best I’ve ever had. I’m a nurse and wear one all the time at work, transparency mode is a game changer, it’s literally like you aren’t even wearing one at all. Just adjust your settings properly in the app. Also the app is great and has tons of settings. The mics also work 10x better than the az60’s. Talking on the phone with them my wife says they are almost indistinguishable from just talking on the regular phone. You can also connect multiple devices at the same time. I think up to three devices.

I've now been through two sets of these earbuds, and am likely about to get a third—but not by choice.Pros (when they're working):• They sound awesome. Very dynamic. The eq is effective at punching up the sound if you desire. Really enjoyed the sound upgrade from my old buds, the Jabra Elite 7 Pros, especially with bigger, bassier EDM.• They're definitely on the larger side, but the fit was great and the variety of different silicone tips (7 in total) should accommodate most people.• The microphone voice quality is good to great, and the multipoint Bluetooth works reliably.• The noise cancellation is just fine. I don't expect anything in this category to be amazing, and it's not the highest priority for me.Cons (a story about them not working):They've completely broken on me twice now.I had my original pair for about a month, after which the left earbud suddenly became extremely muffled and low volume. Almost as if the speaker driver completely failed. I opened a warranty claim with Panasonic—which is a process that's a bit of a pain itself. Once you finally receive an email response to the online service ticket, you are personally responsible for covering shipping to Panasonic's service center. After about a week, they shipped me a brand new pair.At this point I was just kind of annoyed to have had to pay shipping costs to fix these [high-end, expensive] earbuds after just over a month of ownership, and to have been without them for the few weeks that this whole warranty process took, but I was relieved to have a new replacement pair and figured it would be a one-off experience.After about two months with the new replacement pair, the seemingly EXACT same issue happened, this time with the right earbud instead of the left. Muffled. Quiet. Unlistenable.I chatted with customer service, explained the entire situation, asked if this is a known issue with the product, and asked what could be done about it this time. Panasonic's solution (summarized): pay to ship the unit back to their service center, again, and wait for their response, again, all while I'm without my [high-end, expensive] earbuds in the meantime...again. I asked if, given the full situation, there was a more customer-accomodating solution. They said there was not.So, I can't speak to how prevalent this issue that I've now experienced twice is (because Panasonic wouldn't tell me), but if you're willing to take the chance, and they DON'T break in you: congrats, you've got yourself a great, functional, luxury set of earbuds.Otherwise, I'm left unimpressed at Panasonic customer service and disappointed to have had this experience with earbuds in this price range. The few service experiences I've had with other brands in this space (mainly Sony and Jabra) have been much more customer-friendly.
