Technics EAH AZ80 Review | Are These the Best Reference-Quality Ear Buds

[@JosephK.Steele]

The clarity on these Technics buds is insane.! Feels like a personal concert in my ears 🎶🔥

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

It really is incredible, isn't it?

[@nusratmehjabin8146]

love how you showcase the different sound profiles!

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Glad you found them helpful!

[@ramimarafat9433]

I appreciate your honest take! Definitely adding these to my wishlist.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Thanks! I hope you get to try them.

[@ummehabiba1214]

Thanks for the detailed review! I’m sold on these earbuds.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Glad you liked it!

[@igorpetrasovic203]

I do have them an about a month and "WOOOOW !!!" Great review Buddy!

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Thanks. You’ll enjoy them

[@davepirtle9790]

I have been considering the az 80s for awhile now. I just got the one plus buds 3 for Christmas. For under $100 they are an absolute steal. And thanks to this video i must have the az 80s next.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I'm glad the video helped you make a decision!

[@tomalikatoma8023]

Thanks for breaking down the sound quality! I’m considering upgrading my earbuds.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I'm glad this was helpful!

[@rsg5850]

Az100 are out , would be great to get comparisons with az80

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Lets see what happens. Maybe they will send them to me

[@mattmatthews4070]

Thanks for the honest Review, you covered in detail how they sound for instruments, but how are they for vocals, is there good clarity and separation from the mix for female vocals (for slow Soul type music ect).? Thank you.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Vocals sound great. No issues there as long as they are fitted right.

[@FrankTimberlake]

👌🏻Absolutely lovely 😍😍

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I agree!

[@IsaacMcCarthy-pm5fq]

It's greatness 😍

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

👍

[@binoykumar6271]

Great job on the video! Any plans for a long-term review?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Possibly!

[@junaedsiddiq129]

I’m curious about the comfort level for long listening sessions. What do you think?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I usually use over the ear headphones. But these seem comfortable

[@tarekjamil3205]

Do they come with different ear tips for a better fit?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

As I mentioned

[@robsky588]

Have you tried the bowers and Wilkins pi8 im on the fence between the technics and the bowers

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

No Sorry, I haven't

[@Sandii_x]

There are currently 3 models on the technics website, my question is which are the best?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I’ve only heard this one

[@himelrudro5769]

What do you think about their fit? Do they stay in during movement?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Keep watching

[@chevronwestwood]

Can you tell me please, if these earbuds fits well and good for running sessions for 2-3 hours and how is the bass?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Yes, they come with alot of earbuds to achieve a proper fit. They have 7-8 hours battery on a charge. With a proper seal their bass is great.

[@chevronwestwood]

@kenjacobsenmusic okay, thank you!

[@ibnesina1664]

Did you test the app functionality? How's the customization?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Well done. Not enough for studio use. But great for average consumer

[@RichardG.Bedwell-kh2dy]

Amazing 💯

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Thanks!

[@captainamerica3603]

How do you feel about the touch controls? Responsive or finicky?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

It’s ok

[@kittypery9400]

What genres of music do these earbuds excel with? Any specific recommendations?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Rhythmic music.

[@stivepaul4505]

How do they handle phone calls? Any wind noise issues?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Not so far

[@elelel1056]

I'm choosing between the AZ80 and the momentum 4 (I currently have airpods). I'm leaning more towards the az80 at least, because they are more compact. But I am very confused by the reviews on Amazon, many write that both of these models are short-lived and have many technical problems. Spontaneous shutdown, bad battery, lagging application. How true is all this? There is no warranty service for these two brands in my country, so I would not like to just lose money.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I have had no issues in 3 months

[@dipamoni2872]

Great review! How do the AZ80s compare to the Sony WF-1000XM4?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I don’t know

[@sumonjaman9892]

What’s the battery life like on these compared to other high-end models?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Very good

[@channubostudidina7702]

Would you recommend these for a beginner audiophile?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Sure

[@tonmoytalukdar4023]

Can you share your reference tracks for testing sound quality?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

My tracks that I produce, mix and master

[@mishusabbir5740]

Did you notice any connectivity issues during your testing?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Once connected it’s solid

[@tamakpata4883]

Are they sweat-proof? I’d love to use them during workouts.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

They said so and tend to believe it

[@mstkumkum8195]

How do they perform in crowded environments?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Very nicely

[@tamimiqubal727]

The design looks sleek! How's the build quality?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Feels well done

[@user-vw7um9vv5p]

Just got mine yesterday, not bad but definitley not loud enough which makes them redundant straight out of the box.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Yea, that's what I said in the review.

[@russellhedges]

I’ve tried a lot of premium earbuds, but nothing compares to the balance and richness of the AZ80

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I believe you

[@jimjim7008]

I'm more of an 80s and 90s trash metal freak so I'm wondering if these earbuds are suited for these kind of music or specifically made for modern music which i loathe? Thanks

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I listened to a lot of metal. I believe I mentioned how they are true to metal guitar tones. I’m one of those thrash guys!

[@jimjim7008]

@kenjacobsenmusic waiting for black Friday way too expensive now.. hopefully reasonable sale

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Great. See the affiliate link below the video

[@jimjim7008]

@@kenjacobsenmusic thank you

[@mehrabnishan5977]

Are they worth the price tag? Looking for a solid investment.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

I can’t tell you if it’s a good investment. But put it on the list

[@soburkhan1312]

Could you do a comparison with the Apple AirPods Pro?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

No comparison

[@JamesDye-jh8wo]

🎉🎉

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

👍

[@shaiontikamou3367]

Amazing

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Thanks!

[@RandallMiller-br7bc]

Nice 👌👌

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Appreciate it!

[@Josephmccoy-xq2jy]

Can we talk about the build quality? Technics clearly thought of everything with the AZ80

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Very well built

[@smturjo4612]

Do these earbuds have good noise cancellation? I travel a lot.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Yes they do

[@BrianBrown178]

❤❤

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

👍

[@onamikaoishi1123]

What’s your favorite feature of the AZ80s?

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

The sound quality

[@pmp9645]

6:20

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

?

[@vlax543]

Compared techniques with Jabra elite active 75. I spend whole day trying to find reason why techniques is better then Jabra. I could not find it. I prefer fit and quality of sound. In both categories Jabra is far away ahead, compared to Technics. Especially dynamics of sound.

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Well in that case I hope to test the Jabra soon

[@LeonardA.Domingo]

Awesome 💯💯

[@kenjacobsenmusic]

Appreciate it!
