sound quality.The model will be released on October 15.Although the price is open, the actual sale is around 29,000 yen including tax and the EAH-AZ40 is around 16,000 yen including tax.[Photo] EAH-AZ40/Like a small but technics-like high-quality sound quality, the company explained that the headphones have decreased due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but the completely wireless earphone market is on growth.The background is that there is a change in lifestyle in the corona evil.In recent years, the increase in time at home has increased the opportunity to listen to music and watch videos and online live.Along with that, many users are seeking "high -quality sound quality" to "want to enjoy living more", and the spread of home work has also increased the importance of "call quality", and these needs are made this time.It is said that he has developed two new models in a way to respond.■ Introducing the unique acoustic design and the call quality improvement technology "Justmyvoice" Introducing the two models, the unique "acoustic control chamber" and the newly developed "harmonizer" are installed to pursue even higher sound quality.ing.The acoustic control chamber is an acoustic structure equipped with the conventional model "EAH-AZ70W".It is placed at the rear end of the driver, and the space and adjustment ventilation holes are provided precisely to control the air flow, improving the sluggishness and low range growth in the midrange.It is said to reproduce real vocals and powerful and accurate bass.The EAH-AZ40 uses a newly developed "driver-integrated acoustic control chamber" in order to realize the small size of the housing.According to the company, the smaller the housing, the greater the accuracy of soldering and other factors, so the integrated driver module to eliminate the volume errors has been developed.The harmonizer refers to optimization of the space shape in front of the driver, improving the growth by suppressing the unevenness in the high range.It is said that natural treble playback is possible.In combination with acoustic control chamber, it appeals that the driver's original basic performance has been brought out firmly and a good bandwidth balance is achieved.In addition, it is newly equipped with a new calling audio processing technology "Justmyvoice" technology to improve call quality.Justmyvoice uses three technologies to deliver only the voice to the other party.Specifically, noise is reduced by distinguishing the voice and the other sound, the "voice analysis" that identifies the band of the speaker's voice with its own algorithm, and a wind noise even in a windy environment such as outdoors.By combining a "wind sound countermeasure" that detects and reduces wind noise with a microphone, it is said that the surrounding noise is thoroughly cut.In the beamforming technology, two microphones are used to focus on the speaker's audio band and the sound is earned with a microphone.In addition, the "dialogue detection microphone" detects the vibration of the voice transmitted to the bone, and at the same time detects the surrounding sounds, and identifies the audience's voice of the speaker's voice with its own algorithm.The EAH-AZ60 is equipped with two noise-canceling microphones, calling microphones for calling, and a total of four speech detection microphones.use.The EAH-AZ40 is equipped with a total of three on one side of the call sub-microphone, a call for a call, and a speech detection microphone.In addition, voice analysis technology, which analyzes more than 15,000 sounds per second, analyzes the voice of the speaker's voice, the distinction between noise, the sound detected, and whether it is a spoken voice.That's right.As a countermeasure against wind sound, a mesh mechanism has been added to the opening of the microphone, which is located at the top of the housing and the mouth direction, and the amount of wind enters is reduced.The inside of the mesh mechanism has two spaces before the microphone, and a mechanism is ensured by securing a distance to prevent air disturbance and prevent the wind from entering the microphone.Also, as with the beam forming, EAH-AZ60 for noise canceling, for calling, and EAH-AZ40, two microphones for calling and calling for calls, reducing unpleasant sounds.I am.In addition, the dedicated application "Technics Audio Connect" is equipped with a function that allows you to record your voice before calling and check the sound transmitted to the other party in advance.The microphone mute can be set by tapping the main unit twice during a call, and the microphone is possible with smart movements such as online meetings.By devising the housing design, the feeling of wearing has been improved.With the increase in the use of complete wireless earphones, the feeling of wearing is "more important than ever", and in order to achieve a good feeling of wearing and good wearing, EAH-AZ60/AZ40 is contact between earphones and ears.Approximately 30 % of the area.It is said that the fit has been enhanced.In addition, the height of the housing is reduced, and it is avoided to fall.In addition, the earpiece is also newly designed to adopt a unique silicone round earpiece that has changed its hardness inside and outside.The center is stabilized to stabilize the axis to ensure sound insulation, and the outer peripheral portion is softened, so that it fits gently to the ear.The size comes with 4 sizes from XS to L.In addition, the EAH-AZ60 has two types with a different height of about 2 mm in the size of the XS/S, so that the fit to the ears can be adjusted more finely.■ LDAC's high-resolution playback, a no-can-AZ60 EAH-AZ60, is a model that supports the first high-resolution Bluetooth codec "LDAC".In addition, it has a noise canceling function that sings the industry's highest class.The body color is black/silver.Equipped with a free edge structure φ8mm dynamic driver.The diaphragm adopts a biocellulose material that has a firm internal loss and is good for sound.The wide band can be played with plenty of time, and it realizes a rich bass with a sense of tightness, along with reproduction of natural vocals and instruments.The noise canceling function is equipped with "dual hybrid noise canceling" that adopts both feedback and forwards.The noise taken from the outer microphone in the feed -forward system is greatly reduced by the precise digital control, and the feedback method is placed inside the ear, and analog processing reduces the delay in digital processing, and high noise cancellation.Realize ring performance.There are two types of ambient functions that can capture outside sounds."Transparent mode", which can be heard in the same way as when you are not wearing earphones by capturing the surrounding voices and sounds, pause music, and emphasizes the voices of people such as conversations and announcements from the surroundings."Attention mode" is prepared.It can be switched according to the used scene.The initial settings can be changed from the application in transplant mode.In addition, as described above, it supported an LDAC codec that can transmit up to 96kHz/24bit, and supports wireless high -resolution playback.In addition, the corresponding codec is SBC/AAC.Bluetooth is version 5.Adopt 2.In addition, LDAC playback requires enabling settings from the application, and depending on the device, it may be necessary to set up the playback equipment side.The continuous playback time is about 7 hours (noise canceling on, AAC codec playback / all below), including the charging case, together with the charging case.It also supports quick charging that can be played for about 70 minutes by charging for 15 minutes.The mass is about 7g on one side of the earphone, and the charging case is about 45g.■ The standard model "EAH-AZ40" EAH-AZ40, which realizes high-quality sound quality that is small in size, realizes a natural and thick sound while being a compact housing, and can enjoy high-quality and high quality music playback and calls.Model to do.In addition to black / silver, the lineup of rose gold is a lineup of rose gold, which is an entry model in the completely wireless earphone of the same brand, but it also inherits the high -quality design that seems to be technics.Circular processing is applied to the touch sensor part, and two microphone parts have metal mesh.Equipped with a φ6mm dynamic driver with a PEEK diaphragm.As described above, the acoustic control chamber is integrated with an integrated module, which is a small diameter, which is full of energy, realizing a clear and thick sound.It is the smallest product among technics products, but the company appeals to "full -fledged sound that is not ashamed of the brand name."Although this unit is not compatible with noise canceling, it is said that the fit and sound insulation of the ears are secured by the compact housing and the high -wearing feeling of elaborate ingenuity.In addition, it is compatible with ambient functions, and both transparent mode/attainment mode can
