Technics EAH-AZ40 review 2024: Lightweight, Decent sound

The Technics EAH-AZ40 takes comfort to a whole new level. These true wireless earbuds are small, light, and easy to put in. They are comfortable to wear for as long as their battery lasts, which is a good amount of time since it lasts for eight hours in the buds and two more charges in their small case. You can get the earbuds to do what you want just as easily as you can put them in your ears.

Voice control works well, and so do touch controls. The control app has more features than most. The EAH-AZ40 is very easy to set up to do exactly what you want. Well, at least as long as “exactly what you want” isn’t “class-leading sound.” If you just listen to how the Technics sound, there’s not much to complain about, but the problem is that for around $149, £129, or AU$199, you can choose from dozens of other designs.

Technics EAH-AZ40 review: Design

The EAH-AZ40 earbuds are very small and weigh only 5g each. With a variety of ear-tips in different sizes, they are easy to put in place and will stay comfortable for hours. The case for charging the phone weighs only 30 grams and is small enough to fit in a pocket. Neither the earbuds nor the case are made of plastics that feel very high-end, but there’s no doubt that they’re made well. You can buy this earbuds from its official website.

Technics EAH-AZ40 review: Software

Make sure you choose “Technics Audio Connect” instead of “Technics Audio Center” or “Technics Music app.” My Android device always tells me whether the headphones are connected or not, whether they are or not. We don’t see why this is important. Not everyone needs an alert, so if you’re not sure, check the Bluetooth settings. The main features of the app are the ability to turn on or off Ambient Sound Control, choose from one of four EQ presets, find headphones, choose an audio codec, and customize touch controls.

Technics EAH-AZ40 review: Connectivity

The call quality of the EAH-AZ40 is better than average. The six separate microphones block out noise well enough, with the only problems happening in places with a lot of traffic. The person on the other end of the line told me that my voice came through clearly and wasn’t struggling to be heard over the noise. On the side, wireless connectivity has been good, with no breaks in places like Waterloo and Victoria.

Technics EAH-AZ40 review: Sound quality

the ability to change EQs on your own. You can turn “ambient sound” on or off, and if you do, you can choose between “attention,” which stops music and amplifies outside sounds when voices are heard, and “transparent”.

You can also change how the “Just My Voice” function of the earbuds works. “Just My Voice” can recognize your voice over the phone and cut down on background noise. It also lets you hear how you sound to the person you’re calling.

Technics EAH-AZ40 review: Battery Life

Technics says that the EAH-AZ40 earbuds can be used to listen to music for 7.5 hours straight or 25 hours with the charging case. After hearing them for a few weeks, we think that’s pretty close to the truth. The EAH-AZ40 headphones let me easily get through my daily workouts, and I only had to charge them once a week.

Technics EAH-AZ40 review: Price and availability

We like the EAH-AZ60 earphones from Technics, which cost $229.99 and have active noise cancellation and a true sound signature. Because of this, we were excited to try out the EAH-AZ40, which costs $149.99. Even though these true wireless earphones don’t have noise cancellation and their drivers are a little bit smaller, they still sound great. And, just like the EAH-AZ60, you can use a companion app to change the sound signature and other settings.

Final Words

This isn’t the first time a pair of good true wireless earbuds has been found to not be quite good enough. The Technics EAH-AZ40 do a lot of things right. In terms of ergonomics, they’re almost perfect, and they’re very comfortable. They also sound well in some ways. But if you don’t want your music to sound aggressive and a little lumpy at the same time.

FAQS

How do I reset my Technics earbuds?

• Take the earphone on the right side out of the cradle where it charges.

What is the pairing code for earbuds?

The most common PIN is 0000, which is four 0s in a row. 1111 and 1234 are two more that you might see on some devices. When asked for a PIN, try entering these, starting with 0000. Most of the time, the pairing will work.

Why is only one earbud connecting?

Turn off Bluetooth on all devices that are less than 30 feet away from the earbuds. Put the earbuds in the case for 5 seconds to charge. Take the headphones out of the case. The charging case and earbuds should now be able to talk to each other as usual.
