Technics EAH-AZ100

Name: Technics EAH-AZ100
Brand: Technics
SKU: 4210

Manufacturer: Technics

The Technics EAH-AZ100 are true wireless earbuds designed for listeners who want a capable, well-equipped listening experience without any cables. Built around an in-ear fit and rated IPX4 for sweat resistance, they weigh just 11.8 g per earbud, making them a lightweight option for everyday use. The earbuds support spatial audio with Dolby Atmos, and the companion charging case extends total playback time to a combined 30 hours when factoring in both the earbuds and the case.

On the connectivity side, the EAH-AZ100 runs on Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC and Bluetooth LE Audio, alongside AAC codec support and fast pairing. Multipoint connectivity allows simultaneous pairing with up to three devices. The earbuds include six microphones in total, with noise-canceling microphone technology for calls, and active noise cancellation brings battery life to 10 hours under ANC conditions. Additional features include ambient sound mode, in-ear detection for auto-pause, wireless charging, fast charging, a mute function, and a find-device feature, all manageable through an on-device control panel.

Pros

Supports multipoint connection with up to three devices simultaneously, which is useful for users who switch between multiple sources throughout the day
Wireless charging is available, removing the need for a cable to top up the case
Six microphones with noise-canceling capability make for a capable hands-free calling setup
Active noise cancellation is included alongside passive noise reduction, providing two layers of sound isolation
The frequency range extends up to 40,000 Hz, and Dolby Atmos with spatial audio support is built in
A travel bag is included in the box, adding practical value for users who carry their earbuds regularly

Cons

Battery life drops from 12 hours to 10 hours when ANC is active, which may affect users who rely on noise cancellation throughout the day
The charging case only adds 18 hours of extra playback, giving a combined total that is modest for extended travel
No aptX codec support in any variant, which limits compatibility with certain Android devices that rely on aptX for higher-quality audio
NFC pairing is not available, so quick tap-to-pair functionality is absent
Wingtips are not included, which may reduce stability for users who plan to use the earbuds during intense physical activity

Who is this for?

These earbuds are well suited to users who move between multiple devices throughout the day, thanks to multipoint connectivity supporting up to three simultaneous pairings. The IPX4 sweat resistance rating and lightweight 11.8 g build make them a practical choice for workouts and commutes, while the combination of active noise cancellation and passive noise reduction suits those who regularly work or travel in noisy environments. Users who prioritize audio versatility will also appreciate the inclusion of spatial audio, Dolby Atmos, and LDAC support, which cater to those seeking broader codec and immersive audio options. The six-microphone noise-canceling setup further makes them a reliable fit for people who take frequent calls.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who depend on aptX-based codecs for their primary listening device will find no support here, as no aptX variant is available, which could be a drawback for certain Android users with compatible hardware. Those looking for extended all-day battery life without recharging may find the 10-hour ANC runtime limiting, particularly on long-haul travel where access to power is not guaranteed. Additionally, users who prefer a secure, sport-focused fit with wingtip stabilizers will need to look elsewhere, as no wingtips are included, making the earbuds potentially less reliable during high-intensity physical activity.
