It takes a lot to knock Apple off its perch, but that's what Technics managed when it launched the EAH-AZ100 earbuds at the start of the year. I'd spent five years constantly coming back to my AirPods Pro once I finished testing other earbuds, but the AZ100 have become my daily carry thanks to their impressive all-around performance.
Now, to celebrate the brand's 60th anniversary, Technics has launched a delectable new colour for the AZ100 – champagne. To some of us, it'll be easier to just call it "gold", but either way, the new colour looks extremely classy, with a burnished and brushed finish that suits the earbuds perfectly.
