Great earbuds, if you prefer better audio quality than Apple and other more mainstream buds offer. I'm coming from the Sennheiser ones, which were great (maybe even slightly better than these)... but I (like others) had them fail after only a year or two of use. These hopefully will hold up better.

my dailies, I absolutely love these. I still keep my az60 and az80 around as backups or if I am doing something that risks losing them.

Yes, they did. Maybe 2 or 3 days ago and it was OOS almost immediately.
I've read about these dying after a year or two and I wouldn't pay $200+ to get these. The ones on Woot were actually $130 and I'd pay that for two years of usage

I just got the 129$ Woot! deal a few days ago which was delivered yesterday, these are fabulous. Great sound quality and amazing mic! I think they are worth anything under 200$ to be fair.. Above 200, I would look for other options

These sound absolutely great and I had good luck with the included earpieces.

Great ear buds and first one with 360 audio that actually sounds good and natural regardless of source.

However, this is NOT a deal whatsoever.. I'm convinced more than ever SD is full of promotions/secret up voter.. No way in hell Technics products gets this many votes at this price.

This is my 3rd pair in past few years. And they ALL suffer from the same bug... Buds won't charge unless PERFECTLY seated! It very annoying and the 100 series is actually the worse among the az40, 60s.

The upside is they do SUPER FAST charge. It has nothing to do with cleaning the buds... Dirty or not, even when new, this occurs. Make sure light flashes blue for each one when placing in case, otherwise its not charging.

I got one on the woot deal, Just received my order today. Coming from Linkbuds S (due to the well-described battery drain issue), I wasn't expecting that anything would beat it by much. One hour on this and I wouldn't go back.

Seems a lot of buds have this design flaw. My AKG N5 Hybrid buds have the same quirk. If I had paid full price instead of the 80 bucks I did I would have been ticked off.
