The AirPods Pro 3 are finally here — but I still await mine as they travel the local postage service. Until then, I've been playing with the Technics AZ100, a pair of hi-fi buds that place sound quality above almost everything else, and they're making me wonder if I need Apple's latest buds at all.
They're built like tiny tanks and feature some of the best sound for the price. They might not have some of the fancy features of the latest AirPods, but they make up for it with impressive battery life and secure fit. For $300, they might be your next pair of ANC earbuds.
