Overview
The true wirelessTechnicsEAH-AZ100E earbuds represent the culmination of 60 years of audio expertise. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and a balanced sound quality, these earbuds promise an immersive and versatile listening experience. With their compact design, impressive battery life, and advanced features, the EAH-AZ100E are aimed at discerning audiophiles seeking authentic sound and intuitive everyday use.
A sonic revolution with the Magnetic Fluid Driver
At the heart of the EAH-AZ100E lies the revolutionary Magnetic Fluid Driver technology. This innovation, miniaturized from the renowned wired EAH-TZ700 earbuds, replaces traditional magnets with a magnetic fluid. This unique approach enables ultra-precise control of diaphragm movement, significantly reducing distortion and delivering bass with unrivaled richness and precision.
The aluminum diaphragm, paired with an ultra-thin free edge, ensures faithful reproduction of mid and high frequencies. This technological combination allows the EAH-AZ100E to deliver high-resolution sound rich in detail and nuance, for a listening experience as close as possible to the artists’ original intent.
Unmatched call clarity with Voice Focus AI
The EAH-AZ100E integrate Voice Focus AI, a feature that revolutionizes call quality. Each earbud is equipped with three high-sensitivity microphones, coupled with an AI-driven adaptive noise reduction system. This setup isolates and amplifies the user’s voice while effectively attenuating ambient noise.
Whether you’re on a busy street, in a noisy open-plan office, or on a train, Voice Focus AI adjusts audio parameters in real time to ensure optimal call clarity. This technology is particularly useful for professionals on the go or users frequently exposed to challenging sound environments.
Total sound immersion
The EAH-AZ100E offer an immersive audio experience thanks to their compatibility with Dolby Atmos technology. This feature creates a three-dimensional sound field, placing the listener at the heart of their favorite music or films. Sound appears to come from all directions, with remarkable precision and depth.
Moreover, Dolby Head Tracking dynamically adjusts the sound based on your head movements. This technology enhances the sense of realism and immersion, as if you were physically present in the sound environment. Whether listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a video game, the EAH-AZ100E transport you right into the action.
Optimal comfort for extended use
Technics has paid special attention to the design and ergonomics of the EAH-AZ100E. Weighing just 5.9 grams per earbud, they are among the lightest on the market. Their shape has been carefully studied to fit the ear’s anatomy perfectly, ensuring a secure fit and lasting comfort, even during long listening sessions.
To ensure a perfect fit for every user, Technics provides five different eartip sizes, including a new “ML” (Medium-Large) size. This variety lets everyone find the ideal combination for optimal noise isolation and personalized comfort. The IPX4 rating offers splash resistance, making the EAH-AZ100E suitable for daily use and light physical activity.
Impressive battery life for unrestricted use
One of the EAH-AZ100E’s standout features is their exceptional battery life. On a single charge, the earbuds offer up to 10 hours of continuous listening with active noise cancellation (ANC) enabled. The compact charging case extends total battery life up to 28 hours, providing several days of use without worrying about recharging.
The charging case is compatible with Qi wireless charging technology, offering extra flexibility. A quick 15-minute charge gives up to 90 minutes of playback—ideal for users on the go. These battery performance levels place the EAH-AZ100E among the leaders in their class, meeting the needs of the most demanding users.
Advanced connectivity for a seamless experience
The EAH-AZ100E are equipped with the latest connectivity technologies for a smooth user experience. Bluetooth 5.3 ensures a stable, low-latency connection—ideal for watching videos or gaming. Support for SBC, AAC, LDAC, and LC3 codecs guarantees optimal audio quality across a wide range of devices.
A particularly appreciated feature is multipoint connectivity, allowing the earbuds to connect to three devices simultaneously. This flexibility is invaluable for users juggling a smartphone, tablet, and computer. Compatibility with Google Fast Pair greatly simplifies initial pairing with Android devices, making the user experience even more seamless.
A commitment to the environment
Technics demonstrates its commitment to the environment with the EAH-AZ100E. The product packaging is designed without plastic, using recyclable materials to reduce ecological impact. This responsible approach extends to the earbuds themselves, with the use of durable, high-quality materials to ensure increased product longevity.
The Technics Audio Connect app, available on iOS and Android, not only allows you to customize audio settings and touch controls but also helps optimize earbud usage to extend their lifespan. This combination of durable design and smart management via the app helps reduce the product’s overall environmental footprint.

Very good product. The sound is clear, very very good and well defined. It connects flawlessly from one paired device to another. The app is comprehensive and easy to use; equipped with numerous modes and settings, it even warns you if charging isn't going properly and sends maintenance alerts. Just 2 drawbacks (the reasons I'm taking off 1 star): -the earbuds tend, after a while, to slip more or less out of your ears if you move around a bit too much. -the app only provides information (particularly battery levels) when the earbuds are out of the case. However, I recommend this product without hesitation

Très bon produit. Le son est clair, très très bon et bien défini.
Il se connecte impeccablement d'un device couplé à un autre.
L'appli est complète et facile à utiliser ; dotée de nombreux modes et réglages, elle prévient même si la charge ne se passe pas correctement et alerte pour l'entretien.
Juste 2 bémols (raisons pour lesquelles j'enlève 1 étoile) :
-les écouteurs ont tendance, au bout d'un moment, à sortir plus ou moins de l'oreille si l'on bouge un peu trop.
-l'appli ne donne des infos (notamment les taux de charge) que lorsque les écouteurs sont sorti du boîtier.
Cependant, je recommande sans hésiter ce produit

PRO: Wind and other noise is not transmitted to the other party of phone calls. Or it does worsen sound quality but very much less than any other earphones I know, both in my experience and in several serious tests.
PRO: You can adjust the volume even if you use just 1 earphone, keeping the other ear free. (Requires you to change settings in the app.)
PRO: Reasonably water-proof.
That wind resistance is the main reason why I did not return these despite several flaws (shared by many competitors but not all):
CON: The earphones don't stay in my ears well. Maybe a bit better if I don't turn them as much as suggested by the instructions. I have tried all 5 sizes.
CON: Maybe due to that bad fit, I have it difficult to hear the other party when its windy.
CON: The box is fairly thick. Not thicker than most others, but I used to have a thin box. That looked better in a jeans pocket (even though it was respectively wider and taller).
CON: If you drop the box, it opens and the earphones roll far.
