What Buyers Say
Technics EAH-AZ100-N
The Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds receive overwhelmingly positive feedback for their exceptional sound quality, particularly with LDAC and Dolby Atmos. Users highlight the surprisingly effective AI-powered call noise cancellation, which blocks out background noise like screaming children or car washes. Comfort and customization via the app are also praised, though some note the ANC is slightly weaker than the previous AZ80 model.
Pros
- Exceptional sound quality with LDAC
- AI-powered call noise cancellation
- Comfortable fit for hours
- Customizable EQ via app
- Effective ANC and pass-through modes
Cons
- High price point ($300)
- ANC slightly weaker than AZ80
- Touch controls take getting used to
Avantree ADHF-027-BLK
Users praise the extra-long coiled cord for providing freedom of movement during video recording, gaming, or office work, and many note the comfortable fit and clear sound quality. However, a few reviewers report durability issues with the adapter connector failing within a month, and one audiophile criticizes the audio as muffled and poor compared to cheaper alternatives. The clip is also mentioned as fragile, and the cord weight can pull earbuds out unless clipped to clothing.
Pros
- Extra-long coiled cord
- Comfortable fit
- Clear sound quality
- Good for video recording
- Great value for price
Cons
- Adapter connector fails within a month
- Audio quality muffled for some
- Clip breaks easily
- Cord weight pulls earbuds out
- Earbuds don't stay in without clip
