Japan
Warranty
A 1-year parts-and-labor warranty (90 days on accessories) through Panasonic/Technics USA — the category standard for earbuds.

Overview

Technics, founded in 1965 as Panasonic’s premium audio marque (and relaunched in 2014), carries a hi-fi heritage best known for the legendary SL-1200 turntable. Its EAH-AZ true-wireless earbuds channel that pedigree into a natural, detailed sound signature, class-leading call quality, and unusual features like three-device multipoint. It’s the connoisseur’s alternative to the mainstream flagships — superb where it counts, with a smaller brand presence and support network.

Is it worth it?

Technics is worth it for audiophiles, frequent callers, and multi-device users who want top-tier sound, the best call mics in the class, and three-way multipoint — and don’t mind a less familiar brand. Those who want absolute best-in-class ANC or the biggest support network may prefer Sony, Bose, or Apple.
