With the Technics EAH-AZ60, the well-known hi-fi brand demonstrates everything that should be part of a modern high-end pair of headphones: high-resolution sound, efficient noise cancelling (ANC) together with the associated transparency mode and a special technology called "JustMyVoice". This aims to deliver excellent voice quality during video conferences and when travelling, even in noisy environments. Here we put this new True Wireless in-ear to the test.

Etymotic has been building in-ear headphones since 1984 and has plenty of experience in the field of acoustics and hearing aids. And for more than 20 years, the Illinois, USA-based manufacturer has been active in the field of in-ear monitoring (IEM) and during that time, they have consistently pushed the use of balanced-armature drivers. In fact, the classic ER-4 is considered a pioneer in this field. Now, for the new Evo model, Etymotic has fundamentally revised the design in many respects. The result is the first Etymotic IEM with multiple drivers.
The smartphone manufacturer OnePlus has added good-sounding, cable-free in-ears to its range with the Buds Pro, which provide three ANC modes and an ambient mode to flexibly attenuate or amplify outside noise.

Do they succeed in their task?
In April of this year, Koss already earned an editorial recommendation for the smallest model in their Bluetooth in-ear series. Back then, it was the TWS150i that earned our recommendation thanks to their decent price-performance ratio. Now the next model up in the series reports to the kopfhoerer.de command centre for testing, and naturally, and they want to leave at least as good an impression as their predecessor – if not a better one. And of course, we were happy to give these little earbuds the chance to take the stage (or the ears, as the case may be) to try to impress us.
