Hi‑fi audio's impact depends on a listener's reference point, with everyday earbuds like AirPods forming a common baseline while true hi‑fi listeners expect much higher fidelity. The $299 Technics EAH‑AZ100 wireless earbuds produce markedly advanced, nuanced sound that can exceed typical expectations. Proprietary magnetic fluid drivers stabilize diaphragm movement to reduce distortion and improve clarity and detail across frequencies. The earbuds offer great battery life with ANC active, comfortable fit, and a full feature set. Noise cancellation performance is solid but not class‑leading, and the design is less sleek compared with some competitors.
Hi-fi audio is a funny thing. Someone could say the words high fidelity until you're both blue in the face, but it's hard to understand unless you hear it for yourself. I mean, how high is high, anyway? Great audio is as high as your frame of reference is, and if you're like most people and you're used to sticking AirPods in your ears and calling it a day, then that's your baseline.
I got a chance to test out the EAH-AZ100, and at the risk of spoiling the surprise here, I can tell you that they sound pretty freaking next level. At the core of that great sound are proprietary magnetic fluid drivers, which are as cool in theory as they are in practice. I wouldn't usually bother to get into the nitty-gritty of how drivers work, but in this case I think it's worth explaining to make you appreciate these buds' uniqueness.
