Community Reviews

Technics AZ100 earbuds stand out for big, detailed sound in a compact fit, with strong bass, wide soundstage, and very good call quality. The smaller shape sits more comfortably than the AZ80 for some ears, and the app EQ can push the tuning even further. Noise cancelling is solid but not over ear level, and the touch controls require tapping the buds directly. There is also concern about occasional hissing or popping and about latency for gaming, making them a strong everyday listening pick if those tradeoffs do not matter.

  • The AZ100 delivers superb sound quality in a compact true wireless package.

  • The AZ100 provides notably strong call quality even in loud conditions.

  • The AZ100 can improve bass and overall sound compared with Sony WF-XM4 and WF-XM5 models.

  • A Technics25 code can add another 10% discount on the website.

  • The AZ100 can introduce about 0.5 seconds of latency that makes it a poor choice for gaming.

  • Noise cancelling on the AZ100 may not match the performance of an over-ear headset.

  • Reported hissing or popping shortly after purchase raises quality-control concerns at $200-plus pricing.

  • The AZ100 controls may require direct tapping on the earbuds, which some users may find less convenient than Apple-style controls.

These are really good. Sound quality is superb. Listen to the Eagles "Hotel California" live and compare with any other headset.

Had this from day 1, upgraded from my old AZ80. Definitely worth it at this price.

I still have my PayPal 20% CB offer and was thinking about using it for this, earlier this morning, from Best Buy's website (have reward certs too). But looking at Reddit, it seems a lot of folks had issues with hissing and popping merely days or weeks after purchasing them. I'm unsure if the issue is fixed in more recent production models but it does concern me for something that MSRPs above $200

I was looking to move up from my Buds FEs but I decided to wait. These get all the accolades in the world for TWS performance but QC is a big deal for me, at $200+.

How is the latency for these? Deciding between these and the bose qc truly wireless gen 2. I read something about bose having their lower latency codec while these don't have something similar?

these are great. solve basically every issue that i had with airpods and bose except that i don't love how the controls require tapping the buds directly (no one has matched apple's much better stem controls). people are constantly surprised at how great the call quality is. an ambulance could be passing by and the person on the line won't hear it at all. definitely worth $300, no question at $225.

I've had the AZ80s for 6 months, got the AZ100s on this deal. I'm no audiophile but listen to wide range of music and the az100 are noticeably better in sound quality. but the single biggest difference for me is that the az100 are smaller and therefore fit/feel in my ears. The az80 are not large but their form is such that they stick out a little, and heavier.

I have the az80s and i love their comfortability/ANC way better than many others.
I've went through the Bose in-ear QC earbuds 2, Jabra elites 7, 8/sport editions, AirPods Pro (meh)

i've had sony wf xm4 for 3 years, the wf xm5 for 2 years. (using with S22 Ultra)
Was skeptical to buy these but just got the az100 with this deal... i cant believe the bass. if my xm5's were a 5/10, this is easily a 8.5 to 9. the app with EQ adjustment puts this beyond anything i've heard before (from TWS)
the soundstage and bass is unbelievable compared to the sonys. kudos to panasonic. will be following the technics line from now on.
