PanasonicTechnics EAH-A800 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones (Black)
Product details
Web ID: 18873559Bringing back the analog sound!
I remember my parent's old audio setup from from the late 80s. From the turntable to the cassette player and even the receiver was all Technics. It's safe to say I grew up loving music. Fast forward to now and everything is digital which has taken the sparkle out of the analog music that used to be commonplace. Technics has managed to bridge this gap by creating products that bring back that analog sparkle they were known for while pushing cutting edge digital technology! I now proudly own the EAH-AZ80 as well as these guys. Right out of the box these sound great with a mostly neutral profile. I fell in love with the sound as soon as I dialed in the EQ. I would love to see more EQ bands (at least 10) for even deeper tuning. If you're an android user and want to dial these in even better, set your BT codec to LDAC and use Poweramp eq or Wavelet. What sets these apart from many other brands is their innate ability to create that coveted soundstage where you can actually hear the stereo separation at work with little nuances delicately dancing between your ears. Hearing your favorite music is one thing but hearing it with sonic clarity and precision will give you goosebumps and bring tears to your eyes. I have not tried the 3.5mm yet as i don't own many devices with one but I'm sure it won't disappoint. Audio is a definite 10! Battery: not many brands have the stamina these do. Been listening for couple hour sessions 3 days for first week with anc on and only currently at 83% Fit: my big head is loving the fit. The cushions are super comfy but will create some heat with long sessions. No fatigue though. ANC: amazing for cans! Cannot hear my disposal while doing dishes. Cuts about 90% of all sound. If you walk with these don't expect them to cut occlusion. There is some slight clicking from the joints when walking heavy but personally I would use my buds for gym or exercise as the sweat and heat from the cushions would be uncomfortable. Form: for me the design is great. Some complained about the weight but these are typical weight which is not heavy at all. The touch sensor on the right can is nice. Buttons are tactile and once muscle memory kicks in I can reach right for them with little struggle. Mics: amazing! No struggle at all for callers to hear me! Overall these are a fantastic addition to my headphones collection. I would 100% recommend.

materials are too soft and not resistant
I was very happy with the performance of this headphones but at month 1 the headband had a small material loose, perhaps because it was too soft. On the 7th month, the left hinge broke down :( It's a shame, because these headphones are fantastic in performance. hoping this review get you and helps improve your products as this brand is such an iconic in the sound industry.

Great but could be Better.
My only ask is to remove anc, add more sound quality and a hint more bass.

Kenny's Review
Excellent sound, great detail and resolution and deep bass--only slight thing is the ear cups could be slightly bigger and the head band feels a little hard on the scalp.

Good performance with LDAC enabled
I have been enjoying to listen my favorites FLAC music configured with LDAC feature in my Linux box. No regret to grab EAH-A800 headphone. Reasonable price, good sound stage, long battery life, IMO. The next generation of A800 (if any) is placed in my wish list.
