The Technics AZ60M2 form one half of Panasonic's two-pronged assault on the earbuds market with its relaunched prestige audio brand. As we've reported, the headliner is the sublime AZ80 model, but it's got a 'little sibling' that also deserves attention.
The flagship model silenced my long-lived dislike of earbuds, so I decided to also test the ever-so-slightly cheaper, ever-so-slightly lower-specced AZ60M2, now that I knew I could wear earbuds without searing pain or crippling fear of losing them immediately. The AZ80 has quickly staked a claim as one of the best noise-cancelling earbuds ever, so could the AZ60M2 follow suit and make it a double whammy for Panasonic? After a few weeks of testing and using them in a real-world setting, this fan of over-ear noise-cancelling headphones can attest that the AZ60M2s give any over-ear unit a good run for its money, just like its big sibling.
