These Technics earbuds are the best I’ve tried – and they’re cheaper than ever before

Looking for a last-minute gift for the audiophile in your life (or a treat for yourself)? Then I’ve got a great deal for you: you can currently pick up the Technics EAH-AZ100 from Amazon US for $218.99 (was $299.99).

Not only is this a hefty discount, but it also brings them down to their lowest price ever. That price covers the silver colorway but you can pick up the black version for not much more, as it’s also on sale for $219.99 (was $299.99). Meanwhile, the Champagne colorway has been reduced to $247.99, and the Blue colorway is down to $249.99.

Based in the UK? There’s no need to feel left out: you can also buy the Technics EAH-AZ100 from Amazon UK for £209 (was £259.99) – which is the earbuds’ lowest ever price where you are too. However, this deal expires at 23:59 GMT tonight, so make sure you grab it while you can!

Look, the Technics EAH-AZ100 sit at the top of our guide to the best earbuds for a reason. They’re well-designed and comfortable to wear for long periods while remaining firmly in place. They offer cutting edge features like Bluetooth 5.3 with LDAC support and three-device multipoint connectivity.

Best of all, they sound thoroughly convincing – as we remarked in our Technics EAH-AZ100 review, they manage to be both naturalistic in their sound balance yet engagingly dynamic and energetic at the same time.

I’ve used these earbuds multiple times when I’ve been on the go or engaged in high-intensity activities like climbing, and let me tell you: not only do they stay firmly in place, but they sound stunning. I’m a self-proclaimed audio snob, preferring over-ear headphones when they’re suitable, and yet I loved the sonic performance of these buds. While their high price would usually give me pause, this discount definitely makes a persuasive argument for why they’re worth picking up.
