82 out of 100 medium confidence 11 reviews
The Technics EAH-A800 headphones receive overwhelmingly positive feedback for their exceptional sound quality, which many users compare favorably to wired headphones, especially when using the LDAC codec. Reviewers praise the comfortable fit, effective ANC, and the ability to create an immersive soundstage with clear stereo separation. However, a few users report durability concerns, such as the headband material loosening within a month and faulty components after a year, while others suggest minor improvements like larger ear cups and more EQ bands.
