iven Technics’ commitment to the headphone market since its resurrection in 2014, the brand’s entrance into the popular true wireless earbuds world was inevitable. Its debut buds have arrived in the form of the Technics EAH-AZ70W, which are aimed at the more discerning end of the market.
They also feature noise-cancelling functionality, built-in Alexa voice control and a decent battery life; but do they have what it takes to beat the best-inclass Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 and Sony WF-1000XM3?
Reliably tasteful looks
The EAH-AZ70W don’t look too much different to the competition, with a curvaceous, elongated shape. They are about 2cm deep, so should nestle into your ear canal without protruding much. We find their fit light, comfortable and secure. They have the reliably tasteful look of a Technics product, thanks to their smart brushed-aluminium look. An IPX4 rating means they shouldn’t be spoiled by a splash of rain or sweat either.
