Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the Technics EAH-AZ80 earbuds?
A: The Technics EAH-AZ80 are premium true wireless earbuds with 10 mm free-edge aluminium alloy diaphragm drivers, an acoustic control chamber and harmoniser, LDAC high-resolution audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit, dual hybrid feedforward and feedback ANC with analogue and digital processing, JustMyVoice eight-microphone call technology, multipoint connection to three devices, 7 hours ANC playback plus 24 hours from the case, and Qi wireless charging.

Q: Does the Technics EAH-AZ80 support hi-res wireless audio?
A: Yes. The AZ80 supports LDAC, Sony's high-resolution Bluetooth codec, delivering audio at up to 96 kHz / 24-bit when paired with an LDAC-compatible device. This is approximately three times the audio data transmitted by standard SBC Bluetooth, preserving significantly more of the original recording's detail and dynamics. Note that LDAC is not available when using multipoint connection with three devices simultaneously.

Q: How does the AZ80's noise cancellation compare to competitors?
A: The AZ80 uses a dual hybrid ANC system combining feedforward and feedback microphones with both analogue and digital processing, addressing noise across a wider frequency range than single-type ANC designs. Technics' internal research using JEITA guidelines confirmed category-leading ANC performance for the AZ80 among true wireless earbuds as of March 2023.

Q: What is JustMyVoice technology on the EAH-AZ80?
A: JustMyVoice uses eight separate microphones with spatial processing and advanced wind noise reduction to isolate the user's voice from background noise during calls. Rather than simply detecting voice frequency ranges, the system analyses the directional and spatial characteristics of the incoming audio to distinguish the speaker's voice from surrounding noise, resulting in clearer call transmission even in busy outdoor and commuting environments.

Q: Can I use just one earbud from the EAH-AZ80?
A: Yes. Either earbud can be used independently, allowing one to charge in the case while the other is in use, or simply keeping one ear open for awareness of the environment. Touch controls are individually customisable for each earbud via the Technics Audio Connect app.

Q: What is the difference between the Technics AZ80 and AZ100?
A: The AZ100 is Technics' flagship model, introducing a Magnetic Fluid Driver with aluminium diaphragm that uses ferrofluid in the voice coil gap for improved damping, heat dissipation, and lower distortion than the AZ80's conventional dynamic driver. The AZ100 also adds Adaptive ANC that continuously adjusts to ambient conditions in real time and Voice Focus AI for calls. The AZ80 offers LDAC support and three-device multipoint.
