Technics EAH-AZ70W true wireless headphones: Excellent sound, first-class noise-canceling
I can't remember the last time I reviewed a Technics product -- it's been that many years -- but the venerable audio brand, which Panasonic brought out of retirement in 2014, appears on the company's line-topping noise-canceling earbuds. The Technics EAH-AZ70W's list price of $250 (£220, AU$449) puts them squarely up against Apple's AirPods Pro ($250), Sony's WF-1000XM3 ($230) and Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless 2 ($300). While they're a little large, they stack up well against that stiff competition, with impressive sound and noise-canceling function.
Panasonic's high-end true-wireless earbuds are a little big but they sound impressive.
