The Sony WF-1000XM5 have been one of our go-to recommendations for wireless earbuds since they were released in 2023. Reliable, feature-packed, and tough to beat. But now a new challenger has appeared—the Technics EAH-AZ100—and they’re bringing the heat. Can the Sony hold up? Or will they fold under the pressure of the Technics?
