Quick take
Technics AZ80 is still an early Reddit read, but wide soundstage and excellent separation already stands out. The likely fit so far is buyers who care most about sound, comfort, and daily usability, especially for daily listening, calls, and commuting. The main hesitation is hard to get a consistent seal. The picture is useful, but still early.

Technics AZ80/100. They're not as comfortable as the MTW4 but the sound quality is comparable and I haven't had any reliability issues with the AZ80 where as I've gone through two MTW4s since Christmas and am still waiting on my warranty claim for the second pair.
Picked up Technics AZ80 for $60 on Ebay I lucked out on these (thank you, Ebay). I just opened the box and they looked like new. The tips already on them fit me perfectly. THe soundstage was wide and the separation was excellent. I heard details on them I had never heard before. There were harmonies I did not know existed. My main priority is sound, I really have not used the other features (yet). This is, overall, the best pair of earbuds I have ever had. Technics AZ80 Technics AZ80
