That’s an ergonomic evolution, with the new buds’ smaller size (roughly 25mm deep) and lighter weight (7g) making them easier to fit and wear. The earbuds themselves have followed a similar path: the housings have shed millimetres in thickness and are less bulbous – more drop-shaped than spherical, if you like. In fact, if you excavated the inside of the older one, you could probably just about fit the new case inside it, Russian Doll-style. Open the packaging and you’re greeted by an oval-shaped, slim-profiled charging case that’s considerably smaller than Technics's debut, the EAH-AZ70W. Technics EAH-AZ60 at Amazon for £199.99.And the Technics AZ60 are a perfect example of this. Whereas the first hauls of true wireless earbuds on the market were, out of necessity, relatively bulky compared to the small earbuds on the other end of wires we had been accustomed to, manufacturers’ latest efforts have managed to pack mics, chips and drivers into more discreet housings.
