Technics’ new wireless earbuds have Sony and Apple in their sights

EAH-AZ40M2 rosegold

Technics is back for the threepeat. Hot on the heels of the well-received EAH-AZ60M2 and flagship EAH-AZ80 premium wireless earbuds, the final entry in the trilogy is here in the shape of the EAH-AZ40M2. A more lightweight, wallet-friendly alternative to their EAH stablemates, the new buds are still promising superior sound, improved ANC and that superb three-device Bluetooth Multipoint that so impressed us on the AZ60M2 and AZ80 models.

The EAH-AZ40M2 promise high-quality audio courtesy of a 6mm driver that Panasonic claims to deliver “clear sound with a sense of range and depth”. The insides of the AZ40M2 are designed to optimise airflow for more natural sounding vocals, as well as to smooth out trebles and create a dynamic sound range with reduced distortion. The new buds also tease high-res quality audio thanks to support for the LDAC Bluetooth codec.
