Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada The Technics EAH-AZ80 are premium true wireless earbuds from Technics (Osaka, Japan), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Built around 10 mm free-edge aluminium alloy diaphragm drivers with an acoustic control chamber and harmoniser for natural, full-spectrum sound, the AZ80 delivers Technics' signature hi-fi performance wirelessly with LDAC high-resolution audio support at 96 kHz / 24-bit. Dual hybrid feedforward and feedback Active Noise Cancellation with analogue and digital processing, JustMyVoice technology with an eight-microphone array, multipoint connection to three devices simultaneously, up to 7 hours of ANC-on playback with 24 additional hours from the case, Qi wireless charging, and IPX4 water resistance make the AZ80 a complete wireless audio solution from the commute to the listening chair. 10 mm Aluminium Alloy Driver with Acoustic Control Chamber The AZ80's 10 mm driver uses a free-edge aluminium alloy diaphragm — a design that allows the outer edge of the diaphragm to flex independently, enabling greater low-frequency excursion and a more extended bass response with lower distortion than conventional fixed-edge designs. An acoustic control chamber within the earbud body provides tuned air volume behind the driver for natural, well-defined midrange reproduction, while a harmoniser reduces harmonic distortion and expands the perceived soundstage beyond the physical size of the earbuds. LDAC wireless codec support delivers audio at up to 96 kHz / 24-bit — approximately three times the data of standard Bluetooth audio — when paired with a compatible device. Dual Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation The AZ80 uses a dual hybrid ANC system combining feedforward microphones that face outward to detect and cancel incoming noise before it reaches the ear, with feedback microphones that monitor and correct residual noise inside the ear canal. Both analogue and digital processing stages operate in parallel to address noise across a wider frequency range and with faster response than a single-type system. Technics' research using JEITA guidelines for true wireless noise cancelling headphones confirmed category-leading ANC performance for the AZ80 as of March 2023.

The Technics EAH-AZ80 are premium true wireless earbuds with 10 mm free-edge aluminium alloy diaphragm drivers, an acoustic control chamber and harmoniser, LDAC high-resolution audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit, dual hybrid feedforward and feedback ANC with analogue and digital processing, JustMyVoice eight-microphone call technology, multipoint connection to three devices, 7 hours ANC playback plus 24 hours from the case, and Qi wireless charging. Does the Technics EAH-AZ80 support hi-res wireless audio? Yes. The AZ80 supports LDAC, Sony's high-resolution Bluetooth codec, delivering audio at up to 96 kHz / 24-bit when paired with an LDAC-compatible device. This is approximately three times the audio data transmitted by standard SBC Bluetooth, preserving significantly more of the original recording's detail and dynamics. Note that LDAC is not available when using multipoint connection with three devices simultaneously. How does the AZ80's noise cancellation compare to competitors? The AZ80 uses a dual hybrid ANC system combining feedforward and feedback microphones with both analogue and digital processing, addressing noise across a wider frequency range than single-type ANC designs. Technics' internal research using JEITA guidelines confirmed category-leading ANC performance for the AZ80 among true wireless earbuds as of March 2023. What is JustMyVoice technology on the EAH-AZ80? JustMyVoice uses eight separate microphones with spatial processing and advanced wind noise reduction to isolate the user's voice from background noise during calls. Rather than simply detecting voice frequency ranges, the system analyses the directional and spatial characteristics of the incoming audio to distinguish the speaker's voice from surrounding noise, resulting in clearer call transmission even in busy outdoor and commuting environments. Can I use just one earbud from the EAH-AZ80? Yes. Either earbud can be used independently, allowing one to charge in the case while the other is in use, or simply keeping one ear open for awareness of the environment. Touch controls are individually customisable for each earbud via the Technics Audio Connect app. What is the difference between the Technics AZ80 and AZ100? The AZ100 is Technics' flagship model, introducing a Magnetic Fluid Driver with aluminium diaphragm that uses ferrofluid in the voice coil gap for improved damping, heat dissipation, and lower distortion than the AZ80's conventional dynamic driver. The AZ100 also adds Adaptive ANC that continuously adjusts to ambient conditions in real time and Voice Focus AI for calls. The AZ80 offers LDAC support and three-device multipoint — contact Vinyl Sound Toronto to confirm current feature differences and which model suits your priorities.
