Technics EAH-EAZ100 Earbuds Review: smaller size, better sound

Technics is not a burglary in the function department, and the smallest couple offers almost every modern feature you could want. You will find all the foundations such as automatic pause sensors, Multilayer EQ, Google Fast Pair and Finder for headphones, with customization available in the TECHNICS app. In fact, almost everything is adaptive for an almost dizzying array of options. If there is something you don’t like, from how Buds Relay Video syncs to how your voice sounds when calling, there is probably a correction.

Not everything feels as polished as Apple’s AirPods Pro, the software leader in space. The AZ100 call suppression feature, for example, does a great job, killing the surrounding noise around your voice (or even the voice at the other end), but it makes you sound a little sterile and robotic in the process. The application itself sometimes refused to load myself, forcing me to refresh it, even though it was otherwise stable.

Multiplers will be pleased to see the return of multi -point pairing repeated ones, allowing you to easily change between your computer, tablet and phone over Bluetooth without requiring loyalty to the brand. Talking about Bluetooth, you will not only get support for ordinary codecs such as AAC and LDAC over Bluetooth 5.3 but also Bluetooth le audioWho should be proven that the buds for the next generation wireless flow.

The AZ100 contact controls are responsive, adaptive and comprehensive, with default options for reproduction, call, volume and environmental audience when ready. The layout at the beginning is confusing, but I appreciate the possibility of completing almost every task without grabbing your phone.

Velvet Sparkle

I often keep the sound performance for the last, but the sound of the AZ100 is too good to hold more. Like most high-buds, they provide a slow and steady disclosure of their skills. The further you break through, the better they sound.

When I first fired them, I was surprised by the warm and almost thick taste of the sound signature, as if more reading the bass and the larger environments than expected. This said that I generally prefer a smoother touch in my hi-fi over sharp and zing and did not take long to find that the warm input of the AZ100 acts almost as a velvet background, on which instrumental textures and effects shine like jewelry in light.
