Technics EAH-AZ100

All three pairs of premium wireless earbuds in this group test are excellent, but one pair impressed us just that little bit more

- 

You can't really go wrong with any of these premium wireless earbuds. All offer five-star experiences, with good comfort and enjoyable sound quality for the money paid.

But there are areas where one pair excels over the other, and the key feature or aspect that most aligns with your needs will guide your choice. If noise-cancelling is your number one priority, then the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) should shoot to the top of your list. Coupled with a comfortable and secure fit thanks to their stability bands, Bose retains its title as the king of ANC by blocking out more outside noise than any of its rivals, encasing you in a cocoon of silence. Sudden spikes in sound are handled deftly, and while the B&W and Technics are more than adequate at dimming down environmental noise in everyday situations, the Bose manage to shave off further frequencies across the board.
