Value for Money

Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds pair exceptional clarity with taut, extended bass, an expansive soundstage and expressive dynamics that bring serious hi-fi poise to travel-friendly wireless listening. What Hi-Fi? also applauds their secure comfort and potent adaptive noise cancelling, while LDAC, Dolby Atmos and three-device multipoint complete a remarkably polished flagship package.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Clear, richly detailed and spacious sound with confident dynamics and tightly controlled, extended bass.
Highly effective, adjustable adaptive noise cancelling suppresses travel and city noise without a pronounced pressure sensation.
Lightweight, secure fit remains comfortable over extended listening, with five tip sizes for a reliable seal.
Excellent everyday feature set, including stable three-device multipoint, LDAC and LC3 support, customisable controls, and strong ANC-on battery life.
&
Cons
Voice Focus AI can make outgoing voices sound artificial or robotic in calls.
Ambient mode is less natural than the best rivals and may not admit enough outside sound for strong situational awareness.
Charging-case lid and earbud magnets feel weaker and less secure than some premium competitors.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 95/100
Reviewers consistently describe an unusually complete true-wireless sound: taut, deeply extended bass, clear and natural vocals, smooth treble and a notably open presentation. The AZ100 also earns repeated praise for its resolving ability, spatial organization and more expressive, confident dynamics than the previous AZ80.
Bass
97/100
Bass is a major strength. Ecoustics calls its tautness and low-end extension the best it has heard from an in-ear design, while Tracking Angle and What Hi-Fi praise deep-bass control, tunefulness, impact and agility. Reviewers also report that it remains composed when low bass is raised with EQ.
Midrange
92/100
Ecoustics finds both male and female vocals warm and natural, supporting the broadly balanced tuning described by other reviewers. What Hi-Fi also hears a clear, precise presentation with vocal nuance revealed effortlessly, though there is less direct commentary on individual midrange instruments than on the bass and detail.
Treble
94/100
The treble is repeatedly described as crisp, detailed and spacious without becoming harsh. Tracking Angle specifically notes more delicate high-frequency transient attack than the AZ80, while What Hi-Fi finds enough openness for high notes to soar.
Resolution Separation
96/100
All three reviews highlight exceptional clarity and retrieval of musical information. Ecoustics hears formerly obscured layers, What Hi-Fi praises tactile string texture and effortless vocal nuance, and Tracking Angle compares its instrumental textures to those from substantially more expensive headphones and loudspeakers.
Soundstage Imaging
95/100
The AZ100 is praised for producing a wide, deep and unusually open stage for wireless earbuds. Ecoustics hears distinct, naturally blended vocal placement, while What Hi-Fi finds convincing space around live orchestral recordings and a presentation more spacious than the Sony XM5.
Dynamics Coherence
95/100
Reviewers find the AZ100 lively, nimble and dynamically expressive rather than merely detail-forward. What Hi-Fi hears greater subtlety and punch than the AZ80, while Tracking Angle highlights macrodynamic expression and Ecoustics calls the overall reproduction more engaging and dynamic than the Sony XM5.
FIT COMFORT ISOLATION PERFORMANCE 95/100
Fit appears exceptionally well sorted across different ear sizes, with a secure seal and fatigue-free long-term comfort reported by What Hi-Fi. Effective adaptive noise cancelling further makes the AZ100 a particularly strong option for travel and noisy everyday environments.
Seal Stability
94/100
What Hi-Fi reports that reviewers at both extremes of its team achieved a secure fit immediately. The five included tip sizes made it easy to find a reliable seal, with no fit-related sound or stability issues reported.
Comfort
95/100
The rounded shells are said to sit snugly while remaining comfortable throughout weeks of use, without fatigue. Tracking Angle similarly reports that the earbuds can be left in for very long periods, a strong result for a compact noise-cancelling design.
Isolation
96/100
What Hi-Fi calls the noise cancelling impressively effective, particularly against engine rumble, air-conditioning hum, traffic and surrounding chatter. The adjustable ANC is described as reducing these distractions to near-whispers at its highest setting.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Accessories
90/100
The supplied five-size ear-tip set directly supports the strong fit results, while IPX4 water resistance adds useful everyday resilience. Ownership features are comprehensive for a premium true-wireless model, including Qi charging, LDAC and LC3 support, plus multipoint connection for up to three devices; reviewers say little about long-term shell or connector durability.
Value for Money
90/100
At $299.99, the AZ100 sits in the premium true-wireless class, but reviewers consider its performance and feature set compelling at that level. What Hi-Fi is positively surprised that Technics retained the AZ80's original £259/$299/AU$499 launch pricing despite the AZ100's improvements, while Tracking Angle considers its sound and travel-friendly noise cancelling impressive for $299.
