Silencing everything but the music is a cinch with Technics’ wireless noise-cancelling buds… and the music sounds good

Technics has had a bit of a scattergun approach to audio since its 2014 comeback. First we got super-high-end separates, then an all-in-one Soundsystem, before the return of its iconic SL DJ decks. None of these were exactly affordable, but that changes with its first pair of noise-cancelling true wireless earphones.

Design-wise these buds are a lot like Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 2, only fractionally heavier and a bit cheaper. They have IPX4 water-resistance and the Bluetooth antenna has been integrated into the touch sensors.
