Just clocking in for your TechRadar Black Friday deals roundup (there's plenty to get stuck into, music-loving friend)? I've got an absolute peach of a Technics earbuds deal for you.
Technics' lineup of audio equipment isn't often involved in Black Friday discounts, for the simple reason that they're the absolute, top-tier, hands-down best for sound – but you see, Black Friday isn't your average sale…
These flagship headphones only arrived in January 2025 and our glowing review of the Technics EAH-AZ100 proves why they're sitting pretty in my guide to the best earbuds on the market. So we know they're good. Now, they're also $75 off for the first time ever – so let's get to the deal!
Today's best Technics EAH-AZ100 Black Friday deal
I need to emphasize at this point that it's so rare to see a flagship, class-leading, 2025-issue product in a lowest-seen Black Friday discount like this. I strongly encourage you to glance over that review, then consider a purchase if you've been looking for a set of really good earbuds.
As we said in our review (published earlier in the year): "There’s no denying the lengths to which the company has gone. From the extremely thorough specification (covering everything from multipoint connectivity and adaptive noise-cancellation to Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with LDAC compatibility) to design (smaller, lighter and yet somehow no less premium in look and feel to the model they replace), the Technics EAH-AZ100 are ready to compete. Control options are numerous and well implemented, and the carefully ergonomic design extends as far as providing five different sizes of ear tip."
The fact that they're still in the top spot of my best earbuds guide is proof that they're the absolute business – and with a massive 25% (or $75) off the asking price for the first time ever, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
Sonically (and again taken from our in-depth review), the Technics EAH-AZ100 are "never less than ‘very good indeed’ and are capable of giving the class leaders plenty to worry about."
And for me, they're top of the class. I wear these earbuds regularly (have done since their release) and the detail levels are the key differentiator for me – that and the premium feel and fit. When listening to LDAC files (from an Android) I believe you cannot beat these Technics buds for detail, space and the crisp leading edge of notes in a beautifully wide soundstage.
Still not sure whether they're the right buy for you? I'll do a mini roundup of the best of the rest, below, but you could also check out my roundup of Sennheiser headphones and earbuds deals, my collection of the best Bose Black Friday headphones deals, my more general Black Friday headphones and earbuds deals recommendations or our dedicated Black Friday headphones deals live blog.
Happy shopping – and never forget that it's all about the music!
