The new Technics EAH AZ40M2 true wireless earbuds tap into the company's deep expertise to deliver a next generation product. Its engineers focused on every aspect of sound - drivers, acoustics, mechanical structure, and digital signal processing – to ensure a premium product for music enjoyment or taking a phone call. Offering the ability to shift from music to active noise-cancelling without interruption, seamless switching between up to three devices with Bluetooth Multipoint Connection, and a variety of customization settings, these new IPX4 earbuds seamlessly integrate into any on-the-go lifestyle. And more importantly, they are among the lightest and most compact earbuds, while still retailing for $169.99.
The EAH-AZ40M2 earbuds feature a 6mm dynamic driver in order to achieve a more compact design, delivering improved results thanks to acoustic control chamber associated to the driver to optimize air flow and deliver improved mid ranges, and a powerful bass. The DSP smoothes out trebles to create improved dynamic range with less distortion. Additionally, the Bluetooth module supports AAC and will work with LDAC hi-res sources.
The EAH-AZ40M2 also improves upon its predecessor, the EAH-AZ40, by adding Active Noise Cancelling technology and the ability to support multipoint connections with to up to three Bluetooth devices simultaneously, allowing users to switch between sources seamlessly. The EAH-AZ40M2 uses two MEMS mics to actively isolate the user's voice and reduce surrounding noise with beamforming technology for clear calls, even in noisy environments or while working from home. A total of four mics - two on each ear - play a significant role in supporting more comfortable, natural conversation over the phone.
The EAH-AZ40M2 can be operated freely when using only the left or right earbud. Within the Technics Audio Connect App, users can adjust the touch and hold, single, double, and triple tap actions (such as volume up/down, skip forward/back, ambient or noise cancelling mode on/off) to suit personal preferences. Users can even assign specific actions to one or the other earbud.
The EAH-AZ40M2 is equipped with unique ambient sound modes that can be set to either "Natural Ambient" or "Attention" mode. Natural Ambient Mode captures all surrounding noise, allowing users to listen to music or talk on the telephone while paying attention to their surroundings. Attention Mode captures sounds in the human voice frequency range, ensuring users can hear human voices nearby, such as announcements at the airport or a family member's voice at home, while reducing other, unwanted external noises.
Thanks to longer battery life, the EAH-AZ40M2 earbuds can keep going, even with noise cancelling. These compact earbuds support 7 hours on a single charge, with a total charge of up to 24 hours in the compact carrying case. With active noise cancelling on, they support 5.5 hours of music playback, with a total of 18 hours in the cradle.
The Technics Audio Connect App makes it easy to configure and control the EAH-AZ40M2, offering voice assistant compatibility and customization of sound mode settings. A check battery function, super bass equalizer, and the ability to toggle between voice and sound effect guidance are new settings offered in the app.
Technics managed to make the EAH-AZ40M2 more compact and lightweight than its big brothers, the EAH-AZ80 and EAH-AZ60M2, and its comfort is enhanced by a choice of silicone earpieces included with the earbuds, which combine materials of varying hardness to ensure an excellent fit for high-quality sound and superior insulation. Users can choose from four different earpiece sizes, ranging from extra small to large, to find the best fit for the best sound.
The Technics EAH-AZ40M2 TWS earbuds are available in black, silver, and rose gold and everything in the new design, from the earbuds to the case, has a premium feel. The EAH-AZ40M2 ($169.99), as well as the EAH-AZ80 ($299.99) and EAH-AZ60M2 ($249.99), are available online and on retailers starting August 2023.
