Technics wireless Bluetooth earbuds - Anybody buy them and test drive yet?

[Doodski]

They are a little more expensive than most wireless ear buds but the reviews have been very positive and some even rated them as best for 2025. I am wondering if anybody can give details about any of the 3 models that are available.

Couldn't find anything for the AZ40, AZ40M2, AZ60M2, or AZ100.

These look PEQ friendly. I do like my EQ adjustments.

오늘은 회원 요청 리뷰 Technics EAH-AZ60을 대여 받았습니다. 출시한지는 조금 되었는데, 테크닉스 브랜드에서 한국에 컨슈머 제품군은 아직 수입하고 있지 않습니다. 메탈 느낌이 나서 굉장히 고급스러워 보입니다....

These look PEQ friendly too.

Thank you for posting these links. That data is really helpful. I don't think I would have ever found these Asian websites.

Had the AZ60, really nice, but despite trying different tips they wouldn't stay stable in my ears when running. I think it had more to do with the overall weight of those buds and the shape of the enclosure where it touches the ear. Out of the box they sounded very V-tuned to me.

Currently using the AZ80 + Comply foam tips. The fit is better than the 60, the app is easy to use, it has a basic GEQ.
With the Comply foam tips + ANC on + one of the 2 GEQ low boost presets you can get oceans of clean bass out of them.

The 80 also seems to have better calibrated touch controls - I had lots of accidental pauses/track skips etc. with the 60s when adjusting the earbuds or wearing a hoodie.

LDAC compatibility is also a plus in my book. Especially now, since a recent UAPP update allows it to take control over the Android BT settings (i.e. you can force the max bitrate).

One minus is the carrying case - the lid has some sort of magnet to secure it, but started feeling wobbly quite fast (like it might just flap open if turned upside down for example).

Overall I'm happy with the AZ80, but bear in mind these are my first TWS earbuds, so I don't have reference points. I'm especially curious of how they compare to those TOTL Sonys.

Do you maintain a sortable ranking of TWS earbuds by ranking in categories such as transparency, SINAND and parity to FR Targets?

I do not.
