Pro The Pros: What Redditors Love
Like sound profile improved with EQ tweaks 2026-02-23
Huawei FB Pro 4 vs Technics AZ 100 I wasn't entirely satisfied with the sound profile of my Huawei Freebuds Pro 4, so I decided to give the Technics EAH-AZ100 a go. My first impression of the Technics was great-they delivered a very balanced and spacious soundstage right out of the box. However, while browsing Reddit today for the best possible settings, I stumbled upon the Wavelet app. I enabled some of the free features-specifically AutoEq, the Limiter, and the Dark Graphic EQ-and honestly, magic happened.
Like sound quality and bass 2026-02-14
I love the Az100 for the sound quality and bass. ANC is just a bonus/extra. Curious to see if the xm6 can produce equal or better sq and bass.
Like Hope for superiority 2026-02-14
Technics AZ100 I'll be giving them a good go with hope they are superior to my az100 and JBL tour pro 3.
Like Dynamic, energetic sound 2026-01-20
Technics AZ100. They sound closest to the AirPods Pro 2 but have much more dynamic, energetic, and spacious sound. They also have a higher resolution, the little details that are barely audible on the AirPods are more clearly defined on the AZ100. You can “feel” layers of electronic music moving around your head on modern songs, it’s truly amazing. AirPods have a similar effect but nothing compared to the Technics. I use them with both my iPhone and Windows laptop simultaneously and their connectivity is flawless
Like Best all around 2026-01-18
Go with the Technics az100 and thank me later. Best all around under $350 imo. LDAC, 3 device multi point, strong battery life, small and comfy form factor, very good transparency and ANC, and with some easy EQ tweaks they sound amazing. MTW4 sound great with Sound Personalization and have a slightly larger soundstage than az100. They also fit well (due to

az100 hands down. I auditioned both head to head a couple weeks ago, and the az100 have much more balanced and better audio, a smaller case, and you can try either comply foam tips (I liked them at first but decided I just prefer silicone tips for feel and comfort) or spinfit neos (which I'm currently using and LOVE). ANC was similar on both to my ears, as w
Like better battery life 2026-01-13
I guess as an overall package AZ100 is better as it has better battery life, ANC and call quality. Sound wise though they are comparable. I've done A/B testing between the two after tuning both to my liking and it's hard to come up with a winner.
Like Keeps in place 2026-01-11
Coming from Jabra elite active 7's (RIP) to technics az100 for rigouros gym use, I am quite happy with the az100. Keeps in place for long runs too.

Technics AZ100 are great
Like Mono mode works well 2026-01-01
AZ100 ticks all the boxes. All others are lacking in at least one of those categories. Can use mono mode no issues and great battery life is a nice bonus.
Con The Cons: Real-World Issues
Complaint ANC worse than competitors 2026-02-24
Technics AZ100's ANC vs competitors? I am currently looking for a pair of premium wireless earbuds and the Technics AZ100 are at the top of the list alongside the Sony WF-1000XM6. The only main thing that is making me hesitate on getting the Technics is the ANC. It is worse than its competitors (QC Ultra, APP3, XM6) that seems pretty clear to me, but how much worse is it actually? I have seen varying thoughts on this and would like to get a bit more user feedback. You can compare them to any of your previous earbu
Complaint Not good for ANC 2026-02-14
If ANC is what you are looking for, AZ100 are not good. They do sound superb though.
Complaint Mic quality robotic 2026-02-10
Disappointed with Technics EAH-AZ100 Mic Quality - Thinking of switching to AirPods Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else is facing the same issue. I bought a pair of EAH-AZ100 last week. I've spent quite a bit of time tweaking the app and setting up different EQ profiles to enhance the listening experience. Overall, I'm really satisfied with the sound quality; while the ANC might not be the most immersive on the market, you don't really notice surrounding noise once the music i
Complaint Sound quality comparison 2026-01-31
I have the Sony XM4 and Technics AZ100... Sound quality Technics... ANC Sony... I tried out the Technics on the London underground today and it was totally fine at high volume but it's not as good as Sony XM4.
Complaint ANC not great 2026-01-14
I'm in search of a new pair of buds with secure and comfy fit and solid ANC. Not necessarily looking for superb sound quality, just something solid. Android user, open to consider both no stem and stem options Tried Technics az100 but ANC wasn't great. They were quite comfortable but didn't feel super secure, although they never actually fell out. Have my old Jabras still and the fit of them is great. Budget is 250usd max Was thinking about Bose QC Ultra 2nd gen - they seem to be a bit chunky but supposed to b
Complaint Squealing when twisting in ear 2026-01-11
As an MTW4 owner, I’d say get AZ100 because my MTW4 can be finicky and sometimes have issues like squealing when twisting in ear or not showing up in the app, even though they are connected on occasion. But they do sound amazing and they are really comfortable.
