To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic Japanese brand Technics, the Technics EAH-AZ100 TWS headphones were presented, equipped with 10 mm proprietary drivers with magnetic fluid, providing, according to the company, crystal clear sound with high resolution.
The powerful adaptive noise cancellation system of Technics EAH-AZ100 takes into account the environment, the level of background noise and adapts the sound to the shape of the user's auricle, continuously adjusting the sound to the highest possible quality for these conditions. The headphones also boast the Voice Focus AI system, as a result, when using the headphones as a headset for calls, both the speaker and the listener can count on the highest quality of voice streaming. Voice Focus AI adjusts the sound not only taking into account external noise, but also the quality of the incoming signal on the mobile or wireless line.
The Technics EAH-AZ100 TWS headphones use a smaller version of the magnetic fluid driver previously developed for the Technics EAH-TZ700 in-ear wired headphones. The ultra-thin material with free edges is capable of reproducing an ultra-low frequency of 3 Hz, and the aluminum diaphragm provides high sound detail. The Technics EAH-AZ100 headphones support Dolby Atmos spatial sound, in addition, a multi-point connection system (up to three sources) is implemented, which allows you to connect a laptop, tablet and smartphone to the headphones at once, and then easily switch between signal sources.
To ensure maximum connection quality, the Technics EAH-AZ100 TWS headphones support the Bluetooth LE Audio standard and the Auracast function. The LC3 codec supports low-latency broadcasting for gaming and watching videos. The new product is compatible with Google Fast Pair. If desired, Android users can automatically sync nearby devices and accessories. The Technics Audio Connect mobile app is available for iOS and Android devices and provides easy access to audio settings, as well as useful features such as location tracking if you lose your headphones.
Technics EAH-AZ100 TWS headphones are now available in the US with a suggested retail price of $299
