Technics EAH-A1000 schwarz

Technics has come so very close to perfect for the money, here. The EAH-A1000 are quite beautiful to look at and, unlike many winsome sets of headphones, you'll still think they're beautiful several hours after putting them over your ears. There's a delightful sense of pride in ownership too, and carrying them around is a breeze thanks to their easy-folding and solid-but-lightweight hard-shell case. My only minor gripes concern a sound that, while agile and insightful, occasionally plays things a tiny bit safe (for fear perhaps of offending), and physical controls on the right ear cup that occasionally fail to register my presses. Small issues in a formidable pair of headphones I think you'll agree — and I still predict a huge hit.

The Technics EAH-A1000 bring big sound and presentation, thanks to unique audio technologies working behind the scenes. Big is the operative word, though, as such tech does mean the A1000's earcups protrude more than your average – and some people will find that a deterrent. While the A1000 won't be for everyone, therefore, their niche nature and distinctive design bring strong appeals of their own. But it's the sound and active noise-cancelling (ANC) that'll keep you coming back for more – time and time again.

The Technics EAH-A1000 are flagship over-ear wireless headphones built around a new 40mm magnetic fluid driver and carbon fiber diaphragm for low-distortion, high-resolution sound. They offer adaptive noise cancelling, up to 45 hours of battery with ANC (90 without), LDAC and lossless USB audio, Dolby Atmos with head tracking, and three-device multipoint.

Technics’ elegant premium headphones come close to troubling the class leaders, with a comfortable design and an appealing, if slightly polite, sonic balance that will have its fans
