UPDATE: With the multipoint connection you don't need to pause before playing on another device. It will automatically pause on your other device. Great!

Thanks for the review. I am totally amazed by the AZ80. Also own a AirPods Pro 2, Sony XM5, Samsung Buds 2 Pro and others, and these are incredible against all.

Love your ranking system. Very clear and easy to make a choice. I've got the jabra elite 10s and tye pixel buds pro. Just wish they had better anc but otherwise they're good in every other respect.

Are you planning to review the Beoplay EX?

[goldentrout]

Another excellent test and analysis. Your job is always accurate and detailed. I only can say thanks for your great job.
About this buds, after used lots of brands and different qualities, now these Technics AZ 80 are my favorite choice, and my personal nr. one buds.
Thanks again and best for you from Barcelona.

Honestly it’s gonna be Technics AZ80 vs Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 for best buds of 2024.

Awesome review bro! The AZ80 are spectacular earbuds.💪🏼

I'm a mailman, earbuds are very important to me. I switched to these from the Bose QC Ultra because I needed better phone calls. Boy do these not only have way better calls, but they make the Bose sound bad, and I loved how the Bose sounded! Plus, transparency mode is good enough too, not as good as Bose though. Other features are also on par with Bose, and with SonicFoam tips even the noise cancelling is as good!

These are just better all around. Thanks for the review showing that! Turning me away from Bose is truly a feat.

I’ve had the Sennheiser momentum 4 and technics az80. I sent the sennheisers back. I think they had the better sound - but the mic quality was impossibly bad. I was described as muffled. I like the sound from the az80, but I miss the amazing dsp work they put into the momentums.

Thanks for so many video tests and rankings. I was close to buy Audio-Technica TWX7, but after your videos I choose to buy Technics AZ80 and they are amazing. Sound quality for Rock/Metal is great, almost the same level of quality as my studio-grade Audio Technica ATH-A990Z.

Devialet Gemini II, need review on this one, thanks, keep up the good work!

[maxlopez]

Excellent review! Love the way they sound too. Greetings from Miami. Working out us my main activity when listening to earbuds.

[jmcnulty]

Love your earphone comparisons, tips and reviews vids.
Just nabbed a Sonicfoam test pack using your link. Cheers. 👍

Excellent work and a balanced and fair review of these excellent earbuds. Thanks mate!

Great review! Recently became a Technics az 80 convert.:) The sound quality for the midrange (that's what matters to me) is stunning and very close to the best wired (shure se846), call quality is clear and crisp, ANC is almost as good as Sony xm5 (with 3rd party foam tips). A battery life advertiesed at 6hrs is actually 7 to 7.5 in my daily use. I also have Sony xm5 and with tunning via wavlet app they sound very good. I look at Sony as a daily driver and Technics az80 as a luxury experience.
P.s.: If you are to draw comparison with cars it would be like comparing Toyota to Lexus (Sony to Technichs respectively) both will get you there, but with the latter will definitely get you there in style!
May be Gemini is better in some respects but after $300 mark spending more makes no sense.

I'd say these are on par with the Pearl Pro's for sound quality. Going back and fourth on 20+ tracks between the two with highest sound quality settings for both, there isn't a clear winner. Neither is more detailed than the other, sometimes the Tecnics seemed to have more detail, sometimes the Pearl Pro's did. The Tecnics do sound richer on some tracks, but without testing them both back to back you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference, and that could also be down to sound Profiles on the Pearl Pro's.
Both go loud enough, but the Pearls slightly louder, but you wouldn't normally play either at their loudest. The Tecnics have a better form factor and style, and are also slightly more comfortable. Didn't test Immersion or Spatial Audio with Flac, but with 320kbps mp3's spatial audio does practically nothing and Immersion just adds bass on the Pearl Pro's. Overall the Tecnics are the better earbud and cheaper.

Thank you for another awesome comparison and ranking, Picky! 👍

[shayneredden]

Awesome review! I have had these earbuds for around 3 months they are excellent 🙏

Based on your review, technics az80 is good but i cant afford it. Do you think the az60 at the price point it is right now the best sounding tws or do you have another rec for good sounding tws who have the same price as az60
