“… [truncated] … over the last few years and recently upgraded to a pair of Technics AZ80. I found it really elevated my music enjoyment, but left me wondering if there is more to be found in a solid IEM. I like… [truncated] …”

“Let's be honest - anything is small as hell when compared to AZ80. Those buds are huge, bigger than MTW4 and comparable to Perl Pros.”

“finally I decided that I gave too many chances to the technics az80 and will give them back, they just didn't charge or charged one earbud at random. and yeah I cleaned them but after a few hours the problem manifested again,… [truncated] …”

“I hated how these kind of Jabras went so deep in my ears. Other similar models I hated like this were, AZ80 from technics, Sony linkbuds S, Sennheiser momentum 4, Beats fit pro, and Ear fun free pro 3. I’d recommend the AZ80 as the best overall out of these”

neutralearbuds “Is Technics AZ80 still worth in 2025?”I’m able to get the technics AZ80 on discount for £135 ($175) but not sure if it’s too outdated now. Are there any earbuds you would recommend over these at that price range? Comfort, sound quality and ANC are my biggest factors when considering earbuds.

neutralearbuds “What do you think about a $150 price cap?”I've long held that there is no reason to spend more than $150 on earbuds, given that they are a consumable with limited shelf life. Today I was reminded of this rule, and even when it seems like companies are charging egregious amounts of money for what they offer (Apple, Samsung, B&W, etc), it has never seemed like the ROI on the higher end tier has been worth it. This morning, my Technics AZ80 confirmed my reason for this rule. Admittedly, I did not pay retail for these. I had a set of AZ60M2 that stopped charging, and they sent me the AZ80 as a replacement. Great. They were comfortable, and they had good transparency mode, but I always felt that they didn't get loud enough, the ANC was average, and the battery was mediocre. Lately though, I've felt like the transparency mode has deteriorated, and this morning it was confirmed that my microphone is no longer working, so I cannot use these for phone calls anymore. These buds were $300 brand new, and they've lasted just over a year. Conversely, the Earfun Air Pro 4 that I've had for a year and a half are just started to exhibit the same behaviors (mic still works but transparency mode is being weird), but I spent $60 on them. The blow to replace them is nowhere near what it would be if I were replacing another set of $300 earbuds. My point is this: Why should we spend these high amounts of money for a set of earbuds that are going to experience the same fate as the lower priced ones. Even if I bought the Earfuns 3 times, I would still not be at the retail price of the Technics, or Airpods, or Galaxy buds. I know this is my rule, but I'm having a hard time seeing how spending more money leads to a better experience down the line. Admittedly, I would love to buy a set of earbuds to last me several years like my Galaxy Buds2 Pro have, but I know planned obsolescence is a thing. Am I crazy, or do you share my sentiments? Have any of you had a better experience with more expensive earbuds? Or am I right to stick to my rule and just keep a few earbuds on hand? **Edit:** For context, I currently own : \- Technics AZ80 -$150 (warranty upgrade from AZ60M2) \- Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro - $110 \- CMF Buds Pro 2 -$50 (one of my favorites) \- Earfun Air Pro 4 -$60 (my favorite until the right bud started popping and transparency got weak) \- Jabra Elite 75t - $80 (I'm surprised how well these have held up) \- Tozo Nc20 Pro - $60 (quirky, but not bad. Screen is a gimmick though) \- Baseus BP1 Pro - $25 (good for the price but transparency is weak) Earfun Air Pro 4+ - $75 (These sound great. I wish transparency was better and they're a bit big in the ear) To clarify my question, I'm not asking if I SHOULD spend more. I won't. I'm just asking what your take on the point is. I'm about to pick up the Oneus Buds 4 from Aliexpress for $65, so I have options and backups for my backups. For the price of the Airpods Pro 3, I have 4 different earbuds I can rotate through based on the situation or what Iike best. That was my poorly communicated point.

neutralearbuds “Denon PerL Pro or Technics AZ80 or Soundpeats H3 or Huawei Freebuds Pro 4. what should I buy”I have the AZ100... Denon Perl Pro are better than the AZ100 in sound quality and ANC. The AZ100 have better call quality and slightly better battery life... I also have the AZ80, no comparison to the Perl Pro... Perl Pro is my recommendation.

negativeearbuds “Are expensive earbuds really worth it anymore?”I’m reconsidering earbuds as well. Bought a pair of Technics AZ80 for the very first time due to reviews, and after a month of usage the earbuds started to produce static noise. Swapped them out due to warranty. No issues. The replacement buds lasted a year and now the base no longer charges past 60%. Such inconsistent quality for such an expensive earbuds. Not going to recommend or repurchase Technics in the future.
