Technics - Premium Hi-Fi EAH-AZ80-S

Because everyone else cant do it, Airpods Pro. 2 or 3. Only comfortable, properly sized case, proper buttons and well tuned form factor. AZ80's case is awful and tap buttons are insufferable for the tapping noise and inability to be comfortable laying down with them and they'll pause music randomly Galaxy Buds 3 pro have awful tuning and ANC is cheeks compared to airpods. I have both. If you're going to pay money to inconvenience yourself, At least get a moondrop space travel cause their anc beats these for me.  Also make.sure to never attsch the airpods to an apple phone cause they'll update and degrade as planned

Technics AZ80 / AZ100 can legit connect 3 devices at once regardless of platforms

The bass was already loose to begin with on the AZ80s. The new AZ100s sound very blubbery, not tight and controlled, and the low mids are muddled. It’s like they amplified the crappiness like hearing yourself talk underwater. Hope that makes sense for you. And if not, oh well.

from all the tests i´ve seen, The only Wireless headphone that can stand toe to toe with its wired equivalent is the Audezee Maxwel and it steamrolls everything else in the bluetooth world. When you make a headphone, first you design the headphone, and then you think how you´re going to connect it. but in bluetooth headphones its the other way around. I tested time and time again, when i had the sound rhyme SR5 with a adapter cable, or the EM6L with AZ20 compared to "high end" bluetooth buds like the Technics AZ80, the Denon Perl pro, the Sony XM4... they just crush them. you lose ANC, and the package is bigger overall, but the sound quality is just in another category, thats why i have the AZ80´s for when i listen to audio books or go out at night and dont want to take my actual good mobile setup, and then have the BTR17 with the Aful P7 as by standard carry on and work setup (soon to be xenns top pro).

I have a pair of TWS, Technics AZ80, and i tried to upgrade to the Denon Perl.... it sounded great but something was off, dont know if its was the poor isolation or the timbre, but something was there at the back of my head saying "take them off, the sound and feel wrong" and the TWS are great, i use them when i got out to bars or around town, but they just arent at the level of the BTR17 + the Xenns pro.

I have them, and they're amazing. Bought them for 160€, it was a no-brainer.

I think the Earfun Air 4 Pro are the most Budget Option Here. I have tried a bunch of the "Higher end" earbuds, Like Denon Pearl Pro, AZ80, AZ100 etc.. And honestly, Wireless earbuds do not get that close to good higher end IEMs. They plateau early at a very decent level, and the good value options are 90% of the higher end options. Many people (including myself Sometimes) really WANT their more expensive buds to be that much better, so they really convince themselves the money is worth it That, of course, is my personal opinion, but it's based in a bunch of experience so yeah.

Technics Az80s Az100s can connect to three devices at once. Works great.

I've only done with the 80s. Works great for on those

I did not like the az80 wanted a set of buds for my phone and one for my PC found them very quiet and muddled compared to my Pro 2. On my PC or on my IPhone. I ended up returning them same day was very unimpressed.

I have both technics az80 and nothing ear 2024. I believe the nothing ear has crazy value for the asking price. Bass is reaching basshead levels, decent clarity and separation. LDAC availability. Awesome software. Nice modern utalitarian design. My only complaint with them was some harshness and unrefinement on the treble region. There was a time a believe the AZ80s were muddy too. Im glad i didnt return them. I believe their tuning is not for excitement, but for long relaxed listening sessions. They are warm, lush, smooth and intimate. Best mids i ever heard on a tws. Total opposite of the nothing ears. Exciting, engaging, lively but can be thin and lackluster on the "audiophile" areas, which are mids and treble. I listen to some jpop jrock and i understand why you prefer the nothing ears. Jpop is a genre that needs more liveliness. The technics is too thick sounding for that. Ironically, i love listening to black and death metal on my AZ80s. They have a very forgiving nature, in a sense that poor recordings still sound pleasing on them. Both are good in my opinon, just on totally different flavors. Edit: I am lmfao when u said that the nothing transparency is trash. That what makes me not want to use them sometimes. It really is hot garbage lol. Technics transparency is really, really good.

I would not pick pi8 for multi genre listening. I would rather recommend Technics az80 on dynamic preset. It will 100% be a smoother and enjoyable listening experience. Pi8 lacks a huge amount of sub bass and they tuned it to be bright and detail oriented. It is also prone to sibilance.

I dont have a new one. My latest was supposed to be Rex5 but got stuck on processing, so i just decided to refund instead. I have been rotating my tws and realized i preferred a full bodied midrange than a leaner one. Its just a smoother and a more enjoyable experience (leaner sound tends to be more analytical imo, hence i returned my pi8 immediately.) The technics az80 still has more enjoyable sound than them. When i wear them all sibilance is gone, and i just focus on feeling the music instead of analyzing microdetails. Another one of my favorites are the nothing ear 2024. After sound personalization, the sound profile opens up. It has tactile bass and has one of the grittiest electric guitars i have heard (even compared to iems). My only problem with them was they never fail to hurt my concha after some time. I have smaller ears so i accepted my fate.

I used to dislike mine thinking i have bought an overhyped product. It definitely grows on you, specially if one knows Eq. I mostly listen to metal and the sub bass and soundstage are really impressive. I eq mine the same as how I eq my az80s, scoop the lower mids a bit and elevate the treble response.

I liked my AX80s better too.

Same loved my AZ80s till one bud died, I would buy again and hopefully I will with the right price. Oddly my SENN MTW3 had a dead bud too. The new ones mtw4 and az100 have been awesome.
