When a brand or retailer knocks the price of one of its product down it's sheer bliss, but knocking prices down across an entire range is very heaven. Esteemed audio brand Technics has done just that, slashing prices from top to bottom across its range of wireless earbuds: the EAH-AZ40M2, the EAH-AZ60M2 and the flagship EAH-AZ80.
Technics' current range of wireless earbuds provides perhaps the best example of why you should always look beyond a mere star rating and at what the specific attributes and qualities a given product is actually offering to its listeners. To our ears, the Technics range just needs a bit more depth and punch to challenge Sony and Bose for the crown, but to many, the pristine, sharp and clean sound they offer will be more than appealing.
The point is, Technics' buds might not be for everyone, but they certainly could be for you. If you're a detail hound who prioritises spaciousness and clarity above all else, these delicious deals across the price spectrum are well worth your consideration.

Despite their varying price points, all three members of the Technics EAH range as showcased above share very similar sonic DNA. All three models opt for a sound that prioritises spaciousness, breadth and detail over punch or dynamism, and while those qualities are heightened and refined the further up the price ladder you climb, those sonic aims remain consistent across the trio.
Feature-wise, we're surprised by how much is packed into even the cheapest buds in Technics' true wireless range. Think of the EAH-AZ40M2 as being rivals to the Sony WF-C700N, in that they're an entry point for anyone looking for noise cancelling in the true wireless sphere, all while offering a solid 18-hour total battery life, Bluetooth multipoint connectivity and even LDAC coden support. The EAH-AZ60M2 take things a step further, pushing the battery life figures up to a total of 25 hours (with ANC off) alongside three-way Bluetooth multipoint, LDAC and voice call capabilities. The flagship EAH-AZ80, meanwhile, pack in the same features as above, with the same 25-hour battery life, LDAC support, voice call capabilities and Bluetooth multipoint, only this time, the ANC performance is noticeably better for properly blocking out the outside world.
Stylistically, it's very hard to find fault with any of the three pairs we've tested, reviewed and listed above. Even the more affordable AZ40M2 look classy and alluring in their rose gold finish, with an easygoing, secure fit that rarely caused discomfort to our listening team. That, naturally, remains the case across the entire range.
In such a competitive market, it can be hard to cut yourself a slice of the overall pie. What Technics has done is carve out its own particular niche, taking a certain sonic route in a bid to distinguish its wireless earbuds from the rest of the pack. They won't be for everyone, but if you're on their wavelength, they can be very rewarding companions indeed, especially at a healthy discount.
