All-day comfort, gym-proof snugness, clean audio, solid ANC and unmuffled voice calls: can these wireless in-ears really do it all?

- Tom Morgan

Love is every wear

One pair of earphones for the gym, another for quiet commuting, and a third for kicking back at home-bit excessive, no? So the Technics AZ80s aim to do it all, promising a firm fit that isn't exercise-averse; effective ANC for silencing your trip to work; clear mics for making voice calls; and, of course, excellent audio.

These bulbous buds are sculpted to sit inside the ears, and you get a generous seven pairs of eartips in the box help you find a secure fit. We wore them for hours at a time and they never fell out.

LDAC Bluetooth is on board for hi-res listening, but it can't be used with these buds' other party trick: three-device multipoint connectivity. If you've got a trio of source gadgets you regularly swap between, you'd best stick with a more mainstream codec.
