TechnicsHiFi True Wireless Multipoint Bluetooth Earbuds with Advanced Noise Cancelling, Impressive Call Quality Using JustMyVoice Technology, Alexa Built in, EAH-AZ60-K (Black)

I was looking for universal, high-quality IEMs for travel (planes, trains, conference calls), and workouts at hotel gyms). My minimal list of requirements is quite elaborate and looks as follows:1. Good sound quality. (I am a HiFi fan and own plenty of good, very expensive over-the-ear headphones, standalone DACs, and Headphone amps. I can evaluate sound quality well, and while I absolutely do not expect anything matching the quality of over-the-ear headphones that cost 10-30 times more, I also cannot tolerate substandard sound).(!) This includes support for higher-quality Bluetooth codecs like LDAC and/or aptX LE/Adaptive2. Comfort, so you can wear these on the plane for several hours without issues.3. Good fit, including during 20+ minutes running workouts, etc. I am annoyed if I need to readjust or reinsert the buds every 3-5 minutes.4. Ability to switch to foam tips that fit and plug the ear canal much better imho. It's NOT just whether aftermarket foam tips fit the IEMs or not. Most IEM charging cases are so tight that bulkier foam tips simply do not fit in the box at all, and/or prevent stable charging.5. Decent ANC, which is a must on planes, trains, and noisier environments. I do not need the best ANC, because it is always a tradeoff between sound quality and noise suppression. The best ANC typically means so-so sound. But it needs to make it possible to listen on the plane without setting the volume to its highest...6. The last but not the least: Nowadays MULTIPOINT CONNECT IS A MUST for any IEMs that cost over $100. You do not want to manually disconnect the phones from one device and connect to another simply to take a call. You need it to be able to connect to multiple devices at a time, including your phone, PC, Chromebook, etc. Then it all gets much easier, either automatically, or you simply select/switch to the IEMs manually on the device of your choice.Given this long list, and after a long and tedious research I purchased Technics EAH-AZ60 IEMs, and I am quite happy. They check all the boxes on the list above, including Multipoint Connect, LDAC support, perfect fit with foam tips that fit inside the charging case, never having to readjust the IEMs during workouts, and above-average (actually, quite good) sound quality for this price range.Compared to Google Pixel Buds Pro the Technics EAH-AZ60 IEMs have noticeably better sound, but the case is somewhat bigger, and does not support wireless charging.Lack of wireless charging is probably the only negative I can mention, and it's not essential, especially while traveling...Highly recommended.

These earbuds are great. True wireless earbuds and fantastic sound. The app works well and lets you customize the earbuds a ton. You can control the amount of ANC to your liking. Or you can change it to transparency mode to let all sound passthrough (for example if you're walking along the road and need to be aware of your surroundings. There is also a third mode which amplifies voices which is pretty wild.The sound quality is top notch. You can truly hear the difference when using LDAC on the earbuds while listening to FLAC sound, it's bombastic! Speaking of LDAC, I was truly surprised that even while using LDAC, I could watch videos on my phone or laptop and the audio stayed in sync with the video. This is surprising and even Technics mentions you should turn off LDAC due to potential syncing issues.The multipoint functionality works as good as you would want. You simply pair it to one device, then follow the instructions to pair it to a second device. Of course, with the limitations in Bluetooth you can't listen to both devices simultaneously, but they do work as you would expect. For example, if you are using your laptop to listen to a YouTube video and then your phone starts ringing, the YouTube video will pause on your laptop and your phone ringing will come through.The call quality seems on par and I have nothing to complain about there. The touch controls work well and you are able to customize them in the app. Google Assistant works perfectly fine and is prompted by pressing and holding the right earbud (again this can be customized in the app).One further note, I originally purchased the Jabra Elite Pro 7 earbuds. They sounded great but there was TERRIBLE audio sync issues on PCs and a minor sync issue on Android (they don't even have LDAC so there is no excuse). I contacted Jabra's support where they informed me that they don't test their earbuds products for PCs and they're only meant for phones/tablets (which was false advertising since their multipoint video add shows a woman using a windows laptop and then getting a call on her phone. Honestly, I am happy their support was so terrible, that allowed me to return those and get these and I've never been happier.
