When I received a pair of the brand-new Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ80 noise-cancelling earbuds to test ahead of their announcement and release, I felt conflicted. One part of me was giddy at the prospect of having and holding a piece of tech that wouldn't be formally announced for a few weeks yet. Another part of me was filled with pure, unfiltered dread.
Why? Because I've never, not once, in my entire lifelong existence on this earth, been able to wear in-ear headphones (even those from our best noise-cancelling earbuds guide).
