Technics is proud to announce the Australian release of two new true wireless in-ear headphone models – the EAH-AZ60 and the EAH-AZ40 – delivering a pure, immersive sound experience within a compact design. Backed by more than 50 years of Hi-Fi audio engineering experience, the new models are designed with the Technics premium audio quality that consumers have come to love and appreciate, with an impressive acoustic housing design and advanced digital technologies.
“Australians have adopted new work/life routines, and our Technics headphones support this, with JustMyVoice™ Technology,”[1] said Aaron Waters, Product Marketing Manager – Audio and Video, Panasonic.
“Are you videoconferencing while working from home, or taking phone calls on the move? This technology will actively detect and capture your voice, while analysing and isolating surrounding noise to deliver crystal clear audio communication.”
Both true wireless headphones are perfectly suited for a “working from anywhere” lifestyle. The EAH-AZ60 model also incorporates Technics’ industry-leading[2] noise cancelling technology, and high-resolution audio quality with Bluetooth® and LDAC technology.[3] True wireless headphones have become a staple accessory from the desk to the workout and for relaxation and travel. Listeners can choose from a variety of colours, with the EAH-AZ60 model available in silver and black, while the EAH-AZ40 is available in silver, black and rose gold.
The Technics EAH-AZ60 and EAH-AZ40 are priced at $379RRP and $249RRP respectively and are available now from selected Technics audio specialist retailers.
Hear Every Detail
Premium Technics Sound Quality
Taking advantage of its Hi-Fi sound engineering philosophy and expertise cultivated over many years, Technics’ premium sound is now available in the palm of your hand.
EAH-AZ60
The unique design of the Technics acoustic chamber, harmoniser and 8mm drivers deliver rich, expansive sound with smooth and detailed highlights allowing listeners to hear every detail. The Acoustic Control Chamber optimises air flow to create a powerful bass and enhance sounds in the mid-ranges. The newly adapted harmoniser generates smooth treble, enabling an unprecedented range of natural sounds. Inside the advanced 8mm dynamic driver is a bio cellulose diaphragm that is both strong and flexible allowing for pure, authentic sound, from clear lows to fluid highs.
Additionally, the EAH-AZ60 supports High-Resolution Audio Quality with Bluetooth® and LDAC technology,[4] delivering a wide dynamic range of sound with fast response and high definition.
EAH-AZ40
With a slightly smaller, yet advanced 6mm dynamic driver, this newly developed model has been integrated with an Acoustic Control Chamber and Harmoniser to offer clear sound with a sense of range and depth while maintaining a small compact design.
Speak with Clarity
Superior Call Quality
Both the EAH-AZ60 and EAH-AZ40 models are equipped with JustMyVoice™ Technology which provides listeners with excellent call quality. The voice detection mics detect your voice when speaking, while the two MEMS mics actively capture your voice and reduce surrounding noise with beamforming technology for a clear call, even in noisy environments or while working from home.
The EAH-AZ60 has a total of eight mics, four each on the left and right, while the EAH-AZ40 has a total of six mics, three each on the left and right. These play a significant role in supporting more comfortable, natural conversation.
Wind Noise Reduction
Wind is one of the primary factors affecting call quality, so to ensure high audio performance in any environment, Technics equipped its new true wireless models with wind noise reduction technology. The EAH-AZ60 and EH-AZ40 use mics with small holes that are installed deep inside the headphones to minimise vibrations caused by air and facilitate wind-free conversation.
Immerse Yourself in Sound
Industry-leading Noise Cancelling (EAH-AZ60)
Available only in the EAH-AZ60 model, Technics’ Dual Hybrid Noise Cancelling Technology, composed of Feedforward and Feedback Noise Cancelling, captures both the noise outside and inside the headphones. When paired with the digital and analogue processing, this combination creates best-in-class[5] noise cancelling performance perfect for blocking out distractions, whether at home or outside.
Control the Sound Around You
Natural Ambient/Attention Mode
Both models are equipped with unique ambient sound modes which can be set to either ‘Natural Ambient’ or ‘Attention’ mode. Natural Ambient Mode captures all surrounding noise, allowing the user 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 the listener can hear human voices nearby, such as announcements at the airport or a family member’s voice at home.
Designed for Every Lifestyle
All-Day Comfort Fit Design
The new drop shape of the earbuds is designed to maximise contact with the user’s ear canal for an optimal fit, while the outer portion of the earbud is thinner than previous models, preventing it from falling out of place.
IPX4 Water Resistance Finish
Listeners can take the new Technics true wireless headphones virtually anywhere. Both the EAH-AZ60 and EAH-AZ40 models boast water resistant performance in line with the IPX4 standard and are unharmed when splashed with water from any direction.
