How do I turn on Advanced Noise Cancellation?
Touch and hold the touch sensor (R) for 2 seconds to switch between Noise Canceling mode and Ambient mode. Selected mode is announced. You can also use the Technics Audio Connect app to customize the ambient sound.
Noise Cancelling does not work or is not strong enough.
A correct fit ensures proper noise cancelling and acoustics. Choose an earpiece size that fits snugly, and twist gently as you insert in your ear for a secure seal. Use the Technics Audio App to control external sounds and Noise Cancelling mode.
Can I switch my connection from one Bluetooth Device to another?
Yes! Once you pair your AZ60 earbuds to your devices via Bluetooth (see User Guide) you can connect to your devices through the device settings or through the Technics audio app.
How do I utilize Touch Controls?
Consult your User Guide for a full key of Touch Controls, including play/pause, voice assistant, receive/reject call, and track forward/back. You can also use touch control for turning the AZ60s on/off, noise cancelling, and ambient sound.
Why does one earbud have better battery life than the other?
The earbud that is removed from the case first starts the Bluetooth pairing process with your devices which may result in a slightly shorter battery life.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that the sound is good, the ANC and the price is acceptable, while others say that the quality of active noise cancelation is meh. The sound quality and connectivity are good, and both noise cancellation and ambient sound are adjustable. However, some say that both noise cancelling and ambient sounds are hollow sound for phone calls and videoconferences, and that the bass is not so precise. That said, most are satisfied with the multipoint connectivity and hollow sound.

Upgrades from AZ70:
--Multipoint. I had trouble pairing my AZ70's to multiple devices much less switching between them. These connect to two devices simultaneously. Works seamlessly (at least so far).
-- Slimmer case. Old case was bulky. This one has cheaper feel but is slimmed down. Good trade-off. I would hesitate to slide the old ones into my pocket when going out. Not these.
-- Smaller earbuds. The buds themselves are smaller, feel lighter in the ear and look better.
-- Battery Life. Old ones did not last long no matter what the specs said. In particular the case did not hold charge well.
-- Charging. I sometimes found my buds weren't charging at all even when in the case. Had to fiddle with them every time I put them in the case to make sure I saw the red light on the bud come on. These still not great on that score as I have to push down to make sure the bluish light comes on but still better. Admittedly the problem here may be that I use foam eartips instead of the silicone ones provided by Technics. They still fit but likely the case is not optimized for the slightly thicker tips.
Downgrades:
-- Noise cancelling. Slightly better on my old ones. This might be due to the fit. I feel like I don't get as good a seal. YMMV.
-- Accidental touches. I find myself inadvertently triggering touch controls more on these than the old ones. I think the main reason is the buds are smaller so it's more difficult to pinch the edges when adjusting them in my ear. I think I will adjust to this in time.
Same as before:
--- Sound quality. Did not notice difference one way or the other. Quality remains very high IMO.
-- Touch controls. Same except for above noted accidental touches. As touch controls go
these are very reliable and I love that I can fully customize them in the app.
-- No wireless charging. Not a big deal to me.
-- Continue playing when removed from ear. A lot of brands have sensors that stop playing when a bud
is removed. These don't have that. I am 50/50 on this feature so again not a big deal to me.
-- Independent listening. Like the AZ70, you can wear just one earbud if you like.
Overall a nice job from Technics.
.
After some time of using these, I have found the Bluetooth connection is probably the weakest of all my earbuds. Even with LDAC off, the connection starts to break up far earlier and especially if there are any obstacles between me and my phone.
With my phone in my back pants pocket, the signal will cut out often, though having the phone with the top end up in my front pocket seems to help. It still cuts out though if I bend down, for example.
Interestingly, my Soundcore Life P3i is one of the best I own for BT signal and it will work where most don't. That's about a quarter the cost of the EAH-AZ60! So, 1 Star lost Technics!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 Stars:
.
TLDR: The Technics EAH-AZ60 ear buds are definitely a must-buy, if you can spend $200+ on a set of ear buds, don’t mind having no wireless charging, no in-ear sensors and you don’t have really small ears.
Clear noisy-environment call quality, ANC worthy of the price, bright, incredibly clear, detailed sound, excellent touch controls, and a comprehensive app.
A good lower priced alternative is the Liberty 3 Pro, but it does need some EQ taming in the app.

UPDATE II:
.
I bought some 'AZ70' conical Comply tips and the long-term comfort is even better than the stock tips. My ears seem to have become very sensitive since I had ear irritation with the Galaxy Buds Pro! The excellent AZ60 sound signature is not affected. ANC seemed to be not quite as effective, until I adjusted the ANC slider (not the 0-100% strength one) and tuned out the lower frequencies that seemed to be more noticeable. The Comply tips just made awesome into awesome-on-steroids!
.
UPDATE I:
.
After some more time with these buds, and further listening to my many playlists, especially my 'Audiophile' Hi Res tracks, I can't be more happy with the comfort and sound signature. I'm not convinced headphones have a burn-in period. I think it's more burn-in for your ears with the specific earbud.
I have been hearing more new nuances in my music, not heard with my other buds, which I thought I could never improve on. The mids and highs are awesome on the AZ60. I used to have to balance sibilance with clarity on the L3P. The AZ60 is so much better; clear and natural.
To me, the bass is not so precise in comparison to the upper frequencies, better when turned down a touch in the EQ, but it's not an issue at all as it's still darn good. There's enough for all but the diehard bass-head.
.
The sound is noticeably clearer and detailed with LDAC on. I found the L3P and XM4 didn't show much difference with LDAC. Not sure if that's a good or a bad indicator of the sound reproduction quality with LDAC off.
.
The sound signature remains unchanged throughout the volume range, unlike the XM4, where the above 70% volume, the sound changes. This is great for me as I often turn down the volume a couple clicks below where I'd really like to have it (50-60%) to preserve my hearing. Wearing buds for 4 hours at a time at high volumes is not good! You also get used to a lower volume after a short while and can even turn it down more. This is why I use ANC all the time.
.
I realized why the AZ60's ANC is so good. The bud and design really act like ear plugs in your ears. With ANC off, I have a much better noise isolation than I've had with any other buds. Add the ANC on top of that and you have an ANC that competes with the other $200+ earbuds. You can still hear those keyboard taps, but mids and lows are gone. A passing car is just a SSSIIISSSHHH'ing sound.
The tips have a molded-in support in the inside in the shape of a cross, and a foam filter, which I think help maintain a round shape in your ear canal, where other silicone tips might distort. I tried fitting the left bud in my right ear, where it's just the tip holding the bud in your ear, and it made a good seal and the oddly-protruding bud didn't fall out also! These silicone tips are awesome. I did find a large in my left and medium in my right was the best fit, as with other buds. That also means I have a spare set of large and medium!

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
.
BACKGROUND:
.
I am an audiophile in the sense that I love listening to quality recordings of all genres of music with headphones, earbuds and IEM’s. But I’m not a true audiophile as I’m not bothered what equipment gives me that. If it’s a $45 pair of buds, awesome!
Let’s start out by telling you that over the last year, I have owned/own and returned many earbuds in my search for the optimum earbud. I say optimum as there is no earbud, nor will there ever be an earbud that is perfect in all its functions for all people. My ideal buds are comfortable for multi-hour wear, have superb and realistic sound, strong ANC and ambient modes, clear call quality in noisy environments, comprehensive touch controls and an app for customization.
.
I have tried all of the SoundPEATS offerings including the H1 and T2, Sennheiser Momentum TW2 (MTW2), Edifier Neobuds Pro and NB2 Pro, Sony WF1000XM4 and XM3, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro (L3P), Tribit Flybuds C1, Boltune BH-BT024, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro. I also own wired IEM’s; CCA C10 (with 10 drivers!) and Tin T2 Plus, both driven by an LDAC-capable Qudelix 5 DAC/AMP with a Crinacle or Oratory1990 PEQ! These IEM’s are my go-to for quiet in-home use as the sound quality and comfort is excellent at a total cost way less than the AZ60!
.
After much searching, the Galaxy Buds Pro came closest to all my needs; great ANC, unique “auto-read your texts as they come in” functionality, excellent bright sound, IPX8, and superb noisy-environment call quality. The touch controls were unfortunately too sensitive and the oval tip fit problematic. I thought they were the ones, BUT… they gave me their well-documented severe ear irritation after just an hour’s wear, despite trying multiple alternative tips! Samsung refunded me since I was outside Amazon’s return window. So, I had the money to try these much-applauded Technics EAH-AZ60’s.
.
SOUND: 9/10 SOUNDSTAGE: 10/10
.
The reviews said these had a warm sound, perhaps lacking some brightness and not far off the MTW2, which I found gorgeously realistic and mellow, but a little boring. With the out-of-the-box EQ of the AZ60, I immediately noticed a bass-heavy, almost boomy and bright treble, though not at all sibilant, sound. I felt the AZ60 reproduction was closer to the L3P, but without the really excessive out-of-the-box brightness and sibilance, or to the GBP DYNAMIC EQ.
.
One thing I’ve learned is that your ears can and will adjust to the sound from different earbuds given time (Also, what I hear is not what you hear). So, I used these for over 36 hours on my music collection and ‘Earbud Test Track’ Playlist before finalizing a custom EQ (see photo) and writing this review.
.
Here’s my Amazon Music Test playlist for reference…
https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/6c1a03929ed947ab82cc33db24d7c001sune?ref=dm_sh_c178-4c28-6af0-10f1-4ecb2
.
My final sound is indeed similar to the Galaxy Buds Pro (GBP) and WF-1000XM4 (XM4) and a little warmer than the Liberty 3 Pro. I really liked the XM4 sound signature.
The treble is more realistic, less electronic, than the GBP. The XM3 has a great sound also but I found the AZ60 is able to produce a more defined and refined sound with superb detail. On ‘Tangled’ by Jane Wiedlin, early on, there is a repeated single guitar string note in my right ear. Listening on the AZ60, I heard the subtleties of that string’s vibration, which I can’t hear on the older XM3.
.
The soundstage and instrument separation are superb. There’s a limit to how wide you can get with earbuds as they are in your ear canal and your external ears are not in play, like with headphones, but the AZ60 gets as wide as you can get, IMHO. Combine that with the clarity of the high frequencies and you feel like you’re in a concert hall with the echoes in the mix.
The AZ60 max. volume is not the highest available in the market. According to El Jefe on YT, it reaches 108dB. At that sound level, you’ll damage your hearing in 2 minutes. Don’t try it!
It’s plenty loud for me but might be an issue for those with hearing loss.
.
FIT: 10/10
.
I always have comfort issues with any earbuds in my right ear. My left ear feels fine with all buds. The most comfortable for my very large ears were the XM4, though I hated the foam tips. The L3P’s wouldn’t stay in my ears. I initially had some discomfort with the AZ60 in my right ear, but after a couple minutes that goes away. I can easily wear these until the battery needs recharging (in my case about 4 hours). I found the medium tips work best and the buds are the most secure, sealed, and comfortable of all the buds I’ve ever tried. If you have small ears, you might not find this to be true. The 19mm diameter body might push too much against your ear fold/Antihelix. The distance from the mid-point of the silicone tip (ear canal) to the back of the body is about 25mm. The AZ60 doesn’t actually touch my Antihelix, as you can see in the photo. The tip itself and the acoustic chamber hold the bud securely. The tip will go fairly deep into your ear canal. So, if you don't like that earplug feeling, maybe these buds are not for you. The buds are very light for their size and you really don’t feel them, unlike the XM3 and XM4. Technics claim the center of gravity is inside the ear to help retention.
.
ANC MODE: 9/10 AMBIENT MODE: 8/10
.
I’ve found that fit is a huge factor in ANC effectiveness. So, I personally found the GBP to be better than the XM4 and the L3P on par with the XM4. The XM3 and MTW2 are weak given their age. Your ANC mileage will vary.
When I first tried the AZ60, I was amazed at the ANC. I have a bathroom fan, which I’ve used as a standard test. I see how far away I can get to no longer hear it. The AZ60 is just past the bathroom door. All other buds have been at least a couple paces further away. I also heard the same superb noise reduction playing cabin noise, brown noise and café sounds on my computer speakers. Listening to my TV speakers with ANC on and no music playing in the buds, voices are even hard to hear. The AZ 60 really fills and seals my ears. There's no ANC hiss as on the Neobuds Pro.
.
ANC (and Ambient) does reduce the bass a little compared with OFF, but I listen with ANC ON pretty much all the time. If I have Heavy Metal track, I can get a little more bass boost by just turning off the ANC!
.
Wind noise does rustle in your ears when the wind is directly onto your face or back. From the side the wind noise is much reduced. That was a disappointment. I expected better. With ANC off, wind noise is the same in your ears as with no earbuds.
.
Ambient mode volume is pretty realistic, but it is unfortunately not super hearing like the GPB or the L3P. I still feel like I have ear plugs in my ears due to the seal, but I can actually hear fine to hold a conversation, with the music not playing. A boosted Ambient option would be awesome!
.
CALL QUALITY: 9/10
.
The XM4 was so disappointing calling from a really noisy environment. It apparently still is, despite recent firmware updates. The other end couldn’t hear me! The GBP was by far the best and the L3P pretty good too.
I have done some limited trials with the AZ60. It doesn’t seem to suppress background noise with ‘Just My Voice’ quite as well as advertised with loud café sounds (70+dB) but did work perfectly for airplane cabin noise.
I will update the review as I get more experience with calls.
.
BT CONNECTION: 9/10
The BT 5.2 works as well as any bud in my experience, though the XM4 was the best earbud and my Qudelix 5 is incredible (probably due to its antenna size). With LDAC selected, a clear-sight 30ft distance is the absolute max with the AZ60, but any plaster and lath walls in the way will have the connection cutting out. Running the microwave 35 ft away will also affect the signal, which is worse than other earbuds. I even get some LDAC cut-outs with the phone in my pants back pocket with ‘Best Effort’ selected in Developer Options. I have had to restart BT a couple times when the sound went out of phase left to right and when the volume became higher in the left bud. The L3P has regular intermittent, momentary cut-outs, even with the phone up close. So, I can’t really complain about the AZ60.
.
I don’t fully understand the “Suppression of sound interruptions and delays” section in the app. I leave it on ‘Automatic’, otherwise I was seeing sync issues with video and there was a stutter in the music when changing tracks.
.
The latest firmware update allows multi-point BT switching WITH LDAC enabled. I think this is the only earbud to do that currently (?) The switching between devices is seamless.
.
TOUCH CONTROLS: 10/10
.
The depth of body allows you to adjust/remove/fit the buds by gripping the sides without operating the controls. The GBP were an absolute pain. The constant adjustments for comfort and fit resulted in accidental touch control operation almost every time you touched them. I did love the accelerometer-controlled ‘flick your ear’ volume control though!
.
The touch controls are some of the best I’ve used. You can control everything, just like with SoundPEATS buds. The XM4 were limited and I was not happy. The AZ60 responsiveness is excellent, with a multi-beep feedback just after you’ve made your multiple taps. You quickly learn the required speed of the double and triple taps.
.
The only two issues I’ve found are 1) trying to do too many double taps too quickly to adjust volume. The system can misunderstand too many taps as one tap and pause the music, 2) sweeping your hand across the touch surface when adjusting your hair results in a music pause. You can turn off the touch action completely, like with the GBP, or disable any one of the touch operations ("No Function") if you have hair or hat issues!
.
I wish there was another option available, whereby pausing the music could auto-enable Ambient mode. My wife hates it when I take too much time to fiddle around when she wants to talk with me! I don’t like ‘Speak To Chat’ though.
.
APP: 9/10
.
I’m not going to go into detail of the app itself. There is much info available on the web and the review is long enough already!
The app is on a par with the best out there. Not as comprehensive as Sony and lacking some of the gimmicks of Soundcore (HearID).
.
I do wish it had a log of hours used, like Sony, a 7 or 10-bar EQ with Q-Factor for fine adjustment of the sound, like my Qudelix 5 DAC/AMP or Neobuds Pro EQ Q-Factor and the ability to save more than one custom EQ. A widget would be good for quick access to key controls.
.
BATTERY LIFE: 7/10
.
Technics actually publishes the battery life for each usage mode in the manual, unlike almost any other manufacturer. Kudos to Technics!
However, the battery life is not that good. In my typical usage mode with LDAC and ANC, I will get about 4 hours or less before I stop for a recharge at below 10%. Fortunately, a few minutes in the case gives me another hour or so. The L3P is similarly poor for battery life. At 10%, you get a voice prompt to ‘charge the unit’. I hear that all too often!
The battery capacity really should be better for the price.
.
IS THE AZ60 WORTH $230?
.
I was skeptical of the AZ60 at over $200, having had not-so-satisfying experiences with the XM3, MTW2, XM4 (tried three of them!) and GBP. I was honestly expecting to return them.
I was however blown away with the EAH-AZ60’s performance with those features I look for in an earbud - multi-hour wear, superb and realistic sound, strong ANC, clear call quality in noisy environments, comprehensive touch controls and an app for customization. None have done so well across the board.
I actually think I’ve found my long-sought go-to TWS earbuds!
.
As for aesthetics, these don’t look particularly like $230 earbuds. The bud and charging case design are similar to many cheaper buds - boring. I did like the robust but bulky, classy XM3 case and the L3P styling. I personally don’t care about looks. I’m looking for performance, not style. Some may disagree though, especially at this premium price.
.
I think these would be better positioned in the sub-$200 bracket, especially as they lack wireless charging and in-ear sensors for pausing music when removed, even though they have superb performance and fit. These missing features are a given at this price point in today’s market.
.
That said, I’d buy these again if I lost mine. Considering this is only Technics’ second generation of TWS earbud, they’ve done a stellar job. I can’t wait for the third gen!
.
GO BUY THE TECHNICS EAH-AZ60!
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022
.
After some time of using these, I have found the Bluetooth connection is probably the weakest of all my earbuds. Even with LDAC off, the connection starts to break up far earlier and especially if there are any obstacles between me and my phone.
With my phone in my back pants pocket, the signal will cut out often, though having the phone with the top end up in my front pocket seems to help. It still cuts out though if I bend down, for example.
Interestingly, my Soundcore Life P3i is one of the best I own for BT signal and it will work where most don't. That's about a quarter the cost of the EAH-AZ60! So, 1 Star lost Technics!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 5 Stars:
.
TLDR: The Technics EAH-AZ60 ear buds are definitely a must-buy, if you can spend $200+ on a set of ear buds, don’t mind having no wireless charging, no in-ear sensors and you don’t have really small ears.
Clear noisy-environment call quality, ANC worthy of the price, bright, incredibly clear, detailed sound, excellent touch controls, and a comprehensive app.
A good lower priced alternative is the Liberty 3 Pro, but it does need some EQ taming in the app.

UPDATE II:
.
I bought some 'AZ70' conical Comply tips and the long-term comfort is even better than the stock tips. My ears seem to have become very sensitive since I had ear irritation with the Galaxy Buds Pro! The excellent AZ60 sound signature is not affected. ANC seemed to be not quite as effective, until I adjusted the ANC slider (not the 0-100% strength one) and tuned out the lower frequencies that seemed to be more noticeable. The Comply tips just made awesome into awesome-on-steroids!
.
UPDATE I:
.
After some more time with these buds, and further listening to my many playlists, especially my 'Audiophile' Hi Res tracks, I can't be more happy with the comfort and sound signature. I'm not convinced headphones have a burn-in period. I think it's more burn-in for your ears with the specific earbud.
I have been hearing more new nuances in my music, not heard with my other buds, which I thought I could never improve on. The mids and highs are awesome on the AZ60. I used to have to balance sibilance with clarity on the L3P. The AZ60 is so much better; clear and natural.
To me, the bass is not so precise in comparison to the upper frequencies, better when turned down a touch in the EQ, but it's not an issue at all as it's still darn good. There's enough for all but the diehard bass-head.
.
The sound is noticeably clearer and detailed with LDAC on. I found the L3P and XM4 didn't show much difference with LDAC. Not sure if that's a good or a bad indicator of the sound reproduction quality with LDAC off.
.
The sound signature remains unchanged throughout the volume range, unlike the XM4, where the above 70% volume, the sound changes. This is great for me as I often turn down the volume a couple clicks below where I'd really like to have it (50-60%) to preserve my hearing. Wearing buds for 4 hours at a time at high volumes is not good! You also get used to a lower volume after a short while and can even turn it down more. This is why I use ANC all the time.
.
I realized why the AZ60's ANC is so good. The bud and design really act like ear plugs in your ears. With ANC off, I have a much better noise isolation than I've had with any other buds. Add the ANC on top of that and you have an ANC that competes with the other $200+ earbuds. You can still hear those keyboard taps, but mids and lows are gone. A passing car is just a SSSIIISSSHHH'ing sound.
The tips have a molded-in support in the inside in the shape of a cross, and a foam filter, which I think help maintain a round shape in your ear canal, where other silicone tips might distort. I tried fitting the left bud in my right ear, where it's just the tip holding the bud in your ear, and it made a good seal and the oddly-protruding bud didn't fall out also! These silicone tips are awesome. I did find a large in my left and medium in my right was the best fit, as with other buds. That also means I have a spare set of large and medium!

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
.
BACKGROUND:
.
I am an audiophile in the sense that I love listening to quality recordings of all genres of music with headphones, earbuds and IEM’s. But I’m not a true audiophile as I’m not bothered what equipment gives me that. If it’s a $45 pair of buds, awesome!
Let’s start out by telling you that over the last year, I have owned/own and returned many earbuds in my search for the optimum earbud. I say optimum as there is no earbud, nor will there ever be an earbud that is perfect in all its functions for all people. My ideal buds are comfortable for multi-hour wear, have superb and realistic sound, strong ANC and ambient modes, clear call quality in noisy environments, comprehensive touch controls and an app for customization.
.
I have tried all of the SoundPEATS offerings including the H1 and T2, Sennheiser Momentum TW2 (MTW2), Edifier Neobuds Pro and NB2 Pro, Sony WF1000XM4 and XM3, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro (L3P), Tribit Flybuds C1, Boltune BH-BT024, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro. I also own wired IEM’s; CCA C10 (with 10 drivers!) and Tin T2 Plus, both driven by an LDAC-capable Qudelix 5 DAC/AMP with a Crinacle or Oratory1990 PEQ! These IEM’s are my go-to for quiet in-home use as the sound quality and comfort is excellent at a total cost way less than the AZ60!
.
After much searching, the Galaxy Buds Pro came closest to all my needs; great ANC, unique “auto-read your texts as they come in” functionality, excellent bright sound, IPX8, and superb noisy-environment call quality. The touch controls were unfortunately too sensitive and the oval tip fit problematic. I thought they were the ones, BUT… they gave me their well-documented severe ear irritation after just an hour’s wear, despite trying multiple alternative tips! Samsung refunded me since I was outside Amazon’s return window. So, I had the money to try these much-applauded Technics EAH-AZ60’s.
.
SOUND: 9/10 SOUNDSTAGE: 10/10
.
The reviews said these had a warm sound, perhaps lacking some brightness and not far off the MTW2, which I found gorgeously realistic and mellow, but a little boring. With the out-of-the-box EQ of the AZ60, I immediately noticed a bass-heavy, almost boomy and bright treble, though not at all sibilant, sound. I felt the AZ60 reproduction was closer to the L3P, but without the really excessive out-of-the-box brightness and sibilance, or to the GBP DYNAMIC EQ.
.
One thing I’ve learned is that your ears can and will adjust to the sound from different earbuds given time (Also, what I hear is not what you hear). So, I used these for over 36 hours on my music collection and ‘Earbud Test Track’ Playlist before finalizing a custom EQ (see photo) and writing this review.
.
Here’s my Amazon Music Test playlist for reference…
https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/6c1a03929ed947ab82cc33db24d7c001sune?ref=dm_sh_c178-4c28-6af0-10f1-4ecb2
.
My final sound is indeed similar to the Galaxy Buds Pro (GBP) and WF-1000XM4 (XM4) and a little warmer than the Liberty 3 Pro. I really liked the XM4 sound signature.
The treble is more realistic, less electronic, than the GBP. The XM3 has a great sound also but I found the AZ60 is able to produce a more defined and refined sound with superb detail. On ‘Tangled’ by Jane Wiedlin, early on, there is a repeated single guitar string note in my right ear. Listening on the AZ60, I heard the subtleties of that string’s vibration, which I can’t hear on the older XM3.
.
The soundstage and instrument separation are superb. There’s a limit to how wide you can get with earbuds as they are in your ear canal and your external ears are not in play, like with headphones, but the AZ60 gets as wide as you can get, IMHO. Combine that with the clarity of the high frequencies and you feel like you’re in a concert hall with the echoes in the mix.
The AZ60 max. volume is not the highest available in the market. According to El Jefe on YT, it reaches 108dB. At that sound level, you’ll damage your hearing in 2 minutes. Don’t try it!
It’s plenty loud for me but might be an issue for those with hearing loss.
.
FIT: 10/10
.
I always have comfort issues with any earbuds in my right ear. My left ear feels fine with all buds. The most comfortable for my very large ears were the XM4, though I hated the foam tips. The L3P’s wouldn’t stay in my ears. I initially had some discomfort with the AZ60 in my right ear, but after a couple minutes that goes away. I can easily wear these until the battery needs recharging (in my case about 4 hours). I found the medium tips work best and the buds are the most secure, sealed, and comfortable of all the buds I’ve ever tried. If you have small ears, you might not find this to be true. The 19mm diameter body might push too much against your ear fold/Antihelix. The distance from the mid-point of the silicone tip (ear canal) to the back of the body is about 25mm. The AZ60 doesn’t actually touch my Antihelix, as you can see in the photo. The tip itself and the acoustic chamber hold the bud securely. The tip will go fairly deep into your ear canal. So, if you don't like that earplug feeling, maybe these buds are not for you. The buds are very light for their size and you really don’t feel them, unlike the XM3 and XM4. Technics claim the center of gravity is inside the ear to help retention.
.
ANC MODE: 9/10 AMBIENT MODE: 8/10
.
I’ve found that fit is a huge factor in ANC effectiveness. So, I personally found the GBP to be better than the XM4 and the L3P on par with the XM4. The XM3 and MTW2 are weak given their age. Your ANC mileage will vary.
When I first tried the AZ60, I was amazed at the ANC. I have a bathroom fan, which I’ve used as a standard test. I see how far away I can get to no longer hear it. The AZ60 is just past the bathroom door. All other buds have been at least a couple paces further away. I also heard the same superb noise reduction playing cabin noise, brown noise and café sounds on my computer speakers. Listening to my TV speakers with ANC on and no music playing in the buds, voices are even hard to hear. The AZ 60 really fills and seals my ears. There's no ANC hiss as on the Neobuds Pro.
.
ANC (and Ambient) does reduce the bass a little compared with OFF, but I listen with ANC ON pretty much all the time. If I have Heavy Metal track, I can get a little more bass boost by just turning off the ANC!
.
Wind noise does rustle in your ears when the wind is directly onto your face or back. From the side the wind noise is much reduced. That was a disappointment. I expected better. With ANC off, wind noise is the same in your ears as with no earbuds.
.
Ambient mode volume is pretty realistic, but it is unfortunately not super hearing like the GPB or the L3P. I still feel like I have ear plugs in my ears due to the seal, but I can actually hear fine to hold a conversation, with the music not playing. A boosted Ambient option would be awesome!

CALL QUALITY: 9/10

The XM4 was so disappointing calling from a really noisy environment. It apparently still is, despite recent firmware updates. The other end couldn’t hear me! The GBP was by far the best and the L3P pretty good too.
I have done some limited trials with the AZ60. It doesn’t seem to suppress background noise with ‘Just My Voice’ quite as well as advertised with loud café sounds (70+dB) but did work perfectly for airplane cabin noise.
I will update the review as I get more experience with calls.
.
BT CONNECTION: 9/10
The BT 5.2 works as well as any bud in my experience, though the XM4 was the best earbud and my Qudelix 5 is incredible (probably due to its antenna size). With LDAC selected, a clear-sight 30ft distance is the absolute max with the AZ60, but any plaster and lath walls in the way will have the connection cutting out. Running the microwave 35 ft away will also affect the signal, which is worse than other earbuds. I even get some LDAC cut-outs with the phone in my pants back pocket with ‘Best Effort’ selected in Developer Options. I have had to restart BT a couple times when the sound went out of phase left to right and when the volume became higher in the left bud. The L3P has regular intermittent, momentary cut-outs, even with the phone up close. So, I can’t really complain about the AZ60.
.
I don’t fully understand the “Suppression of sound interruptions and delays” section in the app. I leave it on ‘Automatic’, otherwise I was seeing sync issues with video and there was a stutter in the music when changing tracks.
.
The latest firmware update allows multi-point BT switching WITH LDAC enabled. I think this is the only earbud to do that currently (?) The switching between devices is seamless.

Top reviews from other countries
The only missing features if you want to be objective is wireless charging on the case and ear detection for stopping music when you take them out of your ears. If either of these are deal breakers for you then I would say you have your priorities wrong but to each his own. Also, despite the fact that these are slightly on the larger side it does not mean that comfort is sacrificed. Of course everybody's ears are different but I can use these for hours at a time with no discomfort. The extra size actually helps with the isolation which is why they are super quiet and sound great. These earbuds are pretty much giving you every possible available technology and feature on wireless earbuds today. But most notably the active noise cancellation and sound quality are absolutely top-notch. I have different headphones and earbuds for different situations but these are the best ones I have in terms of everything they offer and their overall quality in every aspect. It's a pleasure using these and in my opinion if there's a perfect set of earbuds this is probably it!
En mi uso penal los uso escuchando música tipo drill,trap que tienen bastantes bajos y a comparación de otros diferentes audífonos que tengo el bajo si suena bien, profundo, bastante inmersivo
Hablando de la caja la caja se siente bien duradera pero la tapa después de 1 mes de que los tengo se siente floja nada alarmante pero yo soy muy especial en ese aspecto y me molesta un poco ya que no ha pasado mucho tiempo pero quitando eso muy buenos también los imanes de la caja
El ANC es muy bueno cancela muy bien los ruidos graves y los agudos y medios los reduce considerablemente si piensas comprar estos audífonos
While Sony buyers complain of poor battery life I can report Technics have great batteries. I have the Sony LinkBuds S, and while they are lighter and smaller than Technics, their battery life is very poor: 3 h with noise cancelling on and they are dead. With the Sony's LinkBuds S I have continuous problems with Bluetooth connection, while with Technics I never had any issue. They always connect OK.
The Technics box seems have improved also, as it is looks and feels sturdier.
Love them!
****************************************************
One month later: I am keeping these, and looking forward to Technics' next generation. Recap of great features:
- Multipoint connection (Sony WF-1000XM4 not there yet)
- Noise cancellation on par with Sony
- Great sound / soundstage; do not blindly believe 1 star negative comments on bass level or sound quality until you hear how these sound
- Very good quality phone calls inside and outside (with minor ambient mode glitches, and possible wind noise on the other end, chose noise cancelling mode for outside calls)
- Do not fall off from ear. I had them on while riding my bike, and running. My ears are not "special" though, and the buds fit nicely and firm, and providing natural noise cancellation with proper fit. Good choice of tips for every ear type/size, except people with 3 years that are complaining here :)
Tech advise for Technics: please ask the Muse to bring you some ideas about your product name. EAHAZ60PS sounds like your engineers are in a lot of pain. How about "Tech Buds"?
Last question: why aren't you in the Bluetooth speaker market? If Technics was famous for wired audio, why not enter in the new Bluetooth era with the right foot?
*******************************************************************************************
I just got them a few hours ago, charged them and multi - connected (iPhone & Win Surface app, but also Android TV). Connection is stable, Bluetooth 5.2 helps with the distance between source and earbuds, but I had some sound interruption 10 meters out from source.
Intuitive, easy to use/navigate app, no bloatware. Straightforward install with an initial firmware upgrade.
Sound: they sound fantastic, as good or better when compared to my Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 (previous gen.), and even my Sony WH-1000XM4. Not so crazy bass as Jabra Elite Active 75t. Lots of EQ options in app.
Noise Cancellation: strong, isolates you from low and high frequencies of the day. These will be great for air travelling, or any kind of travelling. The noise cancellation is on par with my Sony WH-1000XM4, but at my age everything is fantastic, so consult a noise doctor for accurate measuring.
Mics: very good phone conversation while cycling and windy, no probs, no noises, excellent call quality outside, with ambient through sound setting. Had a lower quality calling using Teams on my iPhone, but I think this is not due to the earbuds.
Price level: 1/2 from the much praised Sony WF-1000XM4 "industry leader". No brainer for me, hope they last.
What I do not like:
1. They are a bit bulky and protruding outside ear, so you look like an ET with antennae :)
2. Flimsy, plasticky, very cheap case. I worry it will brake while I open/close it after a few times. I do not care much about wireless charging, but that should be now standard at this price point, so out with the case designer, get a new one Technics people!
3. Battery life should be on par with other high end competitors.
Overall, I love what Technics/Panasonic people are doing with these earbuds, and hope they continue to go in the right direction in this overly competitive market. They are made in Malaysia, if anyone is interested.
