After releasing a choice of more expensive earbuds earlier this year, Technics is now targeting those looking for an entry-level pair ofwireless earbudsas well.
The Technics EAH-AZ40M2 (not the catchiest name) launch today and cost £129, making them comparable to the £139 2nd generationApple AirPods. And honestly, I’d take them overApple’s offering every day.
That’s nothing to do with the quality of theAirPods, but Technics' latest have multipoint Bluetooth connectivity. This means that they can switch effortlessly between up to 3 connected Bluetooth devices at once. AirPods have similar functionality, but only with Apple devices, as anAndroidphone owner, it is infuriating having to turn my Bluetooth off and on again between devices.

But that’s not all the Technics have to offer. Unlike the Airpods Gen 2, they use an in-ear design which is better for those who want to be active when they listen to music. 6mm drivers help to deliver a clear sound with ANC (and a choice of ‘ambient’ or ‘attention’ modes) also included in the package. They also come with Technics' own beamforming technology for better call quality.
If you’re the type who likes to have one ear in and one ear out then you’ll be pleased to know that you can access the full range of controls with one hand. Battery life is pretty solid too with 7 hours on one charge and 24 hours total easily stored in the charging case.Alexafans will also appreciate the presence ofAmazon’s digital assistant in these buds.
With these buds and the likes of theNothing ear stickoffering quality wireless performance at affordable prices, it could be time for Apple to step up its game. Luckily as revealed at WWDC, AirPod users will be getting anawesome upgradevery soon.
The Technics EAH-AZ40M2 come in a choice of black, silver, and rose gold. The price of the first generation of these earbuds has also now dropped accordingly, as you can see below.
