Technics EAH-AZ100
Sony WF-1000XM6
The Sony WF-1000XM6 and the Technics EAH-AZ100 are both premium wireless earbuds with clear strengths and drawbacks that can dictate a buying decision. The Technics offer a much longer continuous battery at over 12 hours, compared to the Sony's 8.6. They're also more comfortable and stable for most people and feel a bit better-built. And they offer Bluetooth multipoint connectivity with three devices, which is rare. However, the Sony offer a better noise isolation performance, aided by their memory foam ear tips. They have a better-quality mic, too, which could be a clincher if you need buds suited to calling. Both buds feature a similar bass-heavy default sound, with customization available via the companion app, though, and both are compatible with hi-res codecs like LC3 and LDAC.
