Technics - EAH-AZ60M2

i use my technics az60m2 when i work out. the super bass mode is not bad and sound quality is good anc is a bit of a hit or miss tbh

AZ60M2 are overall solid option, I can't fault them on anything, and if I lost them, wouldn't even bother researching other options and just buy them again (on discount if possible).

If your main priority is sound quality and you actively dislike ANC, you actually have some very good options in that price range. For a clean, natural, music-first tuning: Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 (with ANC turned off) – still one of the better-balanced TWS for music, strong mids and bass control. If you want a more neutral / detailed sound: Technics EAH-AZ60 / AZ60M2 – very good clarity and separation, especially for rock and acoustic music. If you're okay with a more “audiophile” approach: Galaxy Buds2 Pro (ANC off) – surprisingly good tuning, compact, and very enjoyable for music-only listening, even without using ANC. All of these are comfortable for walking, don’t force ANC usage, and focus more on sound quality than features. If you want something closer to the WF-C500 signature but more refined, I’d lean Sennheiser or Technics. Happy to narrow it down further if you prefer warm vs neutral sound.

Technics az60 and also the same problem with charging. Randomly one earbud is not charging. I have cleaned contact points. I have to remove them from the case and put again. Several times. It's annoying. For sure i won't buy Technics again.

I have the technics AZ60 and I love them. I also have the Bowers and Wilkins Px7S2, which sound maybe a touch better but are overshadowed by their connectivity issues. I use an iPhone.

Hoping to see AZ100. Have been happy with AZ60 and want to try upgrade. Will make AZ60 workout buds and AZ100 for everything else

Well, for me its anything in the Technics range, from the AZ60's through to the AZ100's....the Buds 2 Pro's are a decent bet, BUT the fit isn't the best, meaning the passive isolation isn't great, which in turn, means the ANC is undermined and no true multipoint👎🏽. My Sennheiser momentum 2's were great but lost one earbud 😭 My B&W's sounded lovely but bluetooth stability was pretty atrocious, so sent them back. Jabra 75t's were poor. Sony XM4'S were poor...sent back I recently got the Poly Voyager Free 20's...thought I'd give them a go and have been really impressed so far. Got a brand new pair of ebay for 39quid but now Amazon UK 🇬🇧 have reduced the price from 94quid to 39.99....an absolute steal 👌🏽

I have many different buds of different quality. favorite is the Technics az100. It is as good as advertised. I like it better than the Sony, Bose. I had an earlier pair of the az60, which is excellent, but you can actually hear significant differences, including the depth of the bass and the fantastic sound stage. If you've got the money, they are worth the investment.

AAC in Apples is fairly good. But not better than Android world's Aptx and LDAC. I always prefer LDAC with Apple Music's ALAC. My ears are sensitive to sound and I can hear the smoothness, crisp notes difference in AAC codec and LDAC. But most of people don't and some doesn't care.  From the buds I've used, I suggest, Bang for buck - Anker models(liberty 3 pro, 4 pro) Best sound quality - Technics az series Flat sound, good anc - sony xm5(my daily driver)

Technics az series for sure. I'm on sony xm5s. Anything with decent ANC + LDAC or AptX.

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.
