EAH-AZ40M2

Maybe it’s an ear fit thing because I have the Nothing Ear 2024 and Technics AZ40m2 and have no idea how you can come to that conclusion. There’s a night and day difference to me and the only reason I kept the Nothings is because the mics are good and I wanted a pair just for work.

My AZ40m2’s had the same issue, or the case would just blink red and drain the buds. So annoying. Somehow it resolved itself with what I am guessing was a firmware update, but now the sound had disappeared and sounds hollow as if the drivers seized. I think the firmware is a lot to blame which makes me hesitant to upgrade to AZ100’s. Did you buy chance purchase with a CC? I am going to look at using my card’s extended warranty option since my AZ40m2’s sound died at the 13th month of owning them.

So far so good, Still my favorite, I know they will last long for me since I have several other comparable TWS earbuds from Sony, Bowers & Wilkins and Technics(2nd favorite) and keep using them all, so I don't put too much mileage on them, on purpose. Also, never wear them outside in the Canadian harsh winter, because I have my combat ones from SoundPeats, Jabra, JBL, Earfun and Sennheiser (CX CX plus and Sport) for that task, which are all under $100, if they break, no biggie. I still have and use my Momentum 2 as well.

Technics - ich habe mehrere Modelle ausprobiert, die alle ok waren, solange die kleinsten Gummis drauf waren. Bei denen mit Noise Cancelling musst du vielleicht aufpassen, die sind ein bisschen größer. 

Good job but something u should mention is what settings u used for each device For example in some situations the anc for the jbl is much imrovoe if u use auto compensation mode Also for the Technics adjusting the anc settings per situation can make a huge difference The jbl and technics have very advanced options that can make huge differences when testing anc. In my case with auto compensation off the jbl is good but not amazing. When turned on though.. Completely different performance... Annoyingly with the technics I find myself having to adjust anc pre optimisation levels depending on the environment because it does not do it automatically
