Technics AZ100 review - YOU NEED TO HEAR THESE!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Which earbuds are you going to buy in 2025, and why?

[@advancedscarecrow]

AirPods Pro 3 because I’m American lol😅

[@DarkwingShadow]

I got the AZ80 last year and i will be getting the 100 for sure!

[@Dima-dc5mf]

Same. If the difference fr that big

[@acoustistudio]

damn, you gonna drop another $300 ? ouch,

[@velisamitic4934]

Fantastic video as always, az80 has been on my list for a long time, but it is changing to az100😁 the same problem is with the Philips Fidelio T2, I haven't found any reviews so far, I'm satisfied with the sound and the choice of materials, the only drawback is that in the transparent mode they lose the sound quality, which probably it can be fixed with software. I would really like one of you to make a video about them and hear your opinion. Greetings and keep it up👍👌🇷🇸🇦🇹

[@kabirfloray5969]

AZ80 were already great, definitely gonna get these, technics listen to their customers and have apparently made changes like improved ANC and improved bass extension in the sound.

[@bidzam]

Good to hear as these are the key issues I hesitated getting them as I want that flexibility to crank up the low end and a decent ANC. So I'll definitely get these.

[@josephgittos3787]

Wonder how these compare to B&W ,, I own a pair of sennheiser CX plus true wireless which are brilliant esp sound stage only problem was issue with one of the ear buds giving up so recently had to buy a new one ( was my left one ) but always wondered about what to replace these with esp as I lost confidence in sennheiser products esp when you read lots of others with the same issue , so would love to have the same or better then the sennheiser but with better build quality

[@DayDreamingWonderGuy]

Can you confirm if the bass is deeper and more powerful? The AZ80 does feel balanced and nice, but I do like a bit more bass rumble and feel.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

The low end is considerably more impressive.

[@travisnarc]

I’ve been patiently waiting for this review! Thank You! AZ100 or B&W Pi8???

[@MarkEllisReviews]

It's incredibly close. If you want audio retransmission - get the B&W Pi8, otherwise it comes down to brand preference.

[@travisnarc]

@@MarkEllisReviews I appreciate you my friend. Thanks!!!!!!

[@indyjones720]

B&W and Sennheiser are the most overrated sound companies. B&W has always been and now that Sonova bought Sennheiser, their sound has went from audiophile to consumer. Technics are a true audiophile company and the AZ80 is the best sounding wireless earbuds hands down. No contest. Except for their now-released AZ100’s which are supposedly a huge upgrade! B&W, Sennheiser, Sony, Bose are all consumer sound with the first being the best of them…but Technics are audiophile.

[@ssadisdik3494]

pi8 is way more louder than technics for sure

[@AT-vj2mz]

Technics, if you're watching this, please announce the release date before sending out a ton of copies for reviews, none of these people will remember this by March. Had to find that out from a retailer

[@Andy-cd9yb]

Thanks for the review. For audio quality, if you had to pick between the AZ100 or B&W Pi8, which would you choose?

[@travisnarc]

Great question; I will base my purchase decision on the response.

[@TheDigitalcrack]

I believe he addressed that it wasn't as good as the Pi8's in his written review but not on this video, if that helps. Not sure why he didn't mention this here. I would say az100 would be a great choice for anyone that doesn't have the pi8 or Gemini 2's and don't want to spend the money to do it if they can get Near the same quality for less. But being equal to or better isn't what these do vs the Pi8 and or Gemini 2's.

[@travisnarc]

@@TheDigitalcrackThank You!!!

[@KarlTheExpert]

@@TheDigitalcrack Yeah, he wrote 'nearly on par', unfortunately without explaining the differences.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

It's very close - I think it comes down to brand preference, to be honest. They are both superb.

[@IssyEarth]

I was given the AZ60 for Xmas, I asked for them as I didn’t know how good they’d be. I really love them, apart from one time when they lost connection. When I opened them I learned the are made by Panasonic! So I was instantly on the fence, however they did not disappoint. The sound is great, Hi-Fi like in the 80s-90s and noise cancellation is decent. Wonder if it is worth getting AZ100? I saw no much difference on the review apart from AI voice focus 🤔

[@krisztianpapp1150]

Confusing battery life. 7h/18 ANC on instead the Technics stated 10h/28 so which one is the correct one?

[@KarlTheExpert]

I just checked the official website and it's kinda hidden but the lower numbers are for using LDAC. So they're both correct, just depends on the codec. The AZ80 drop to or below 5hrs which I always felt was rather meh so that's good news.

[@MML66]

I can guess that it does not make any difference, and if you give an earphone to someone who does not know that it contains a driver like this, and Sol thinks that it is just a normal 1DD driver, and in the end, if it is compared to other things, it does not excel, so what is the benefit of the technology? Is it a technology or a marketing tool?

[@alistairthow1384]

Are they good enough to go up to 11?

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Yes.

[@nacnac74]

AZ100 battery is 10 hours with anc on. Not 7 hours.

[@nikoceballostube]

Sound Quality... B&W, Sennheiser M4, AZ80... For me, Denon Pearl Pro blast them all... Maybe B&W in certain way, but still Denon the best in sound quality. PD: apple, Sony, bose... Maybe the best in technology, but very far behind in sound quality. Very far.

[@bidzam]

Got Denon Pearl Pro for $150 last month and WOW. Hard to listen to something else after trying them.

[@nikoceballostube]

@bidzam that price is a joke for the sound it delivers... Surely this 2025 something interesting is coming. I have tried almost all top recommended sets... Denon still the top choise if you search only sound quality. That's my priority.

[@Sandii_x]

Ngl I am not familiar with many other brands besides AirPods, I got the AZ80 recently and I wasn’t impressed. The sound is very flat for a 300 dollar pair of earbuds. The aesthetics are very nice 👍🏻 but the earbuds definitely lack performance for the price point. I found the dynamic and bass+ were probably the best option for music but even then lacked something. I hope the AZ100 is not just another cash grab!

[@TheDigitalcrack]

I guess the end of the conversation on the hype is that once you get through with all the hype...the bottom line is that they are still not better then the Pi8's( as you confirmed on the your written review of the Az100 but I didn't hear you address in this video) or Gemini 2's if you already have one of them. Now if you told me that they were better than them and cost less ...then you got me. Now if you never bought the Pi8's or Gemini 2's, I truly think these are the best thing going for those people. Its just a mute item if you already have the best.

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Appreciate you tuning into all of the content ;) As for the differences between the Pi8 and these, it's marginal, sound-wise. The big differences are the design, case, and audio retransmission for the Pi8. Otherwise, it's brand preference.

[@2allanator]

Great sounding, but good luck if you need to return them under warranty

[@karayuschij]

20Hz to 40 kHz… I don't believe it

[@Electrifize]

It's the same as range as the WF1000-XM5 with LDAC on

[@velisamitic4934]

Philips Fidelio T2 7Hz-40Kz

[@MarkEllisReviews]

Well, it's an official spec, mate.

[@acoustistudio]

too bad you can't change the Q on the EQ, as you can with the NOTHING EAR 2024
