Over-ear Bluetooth headphones from Technics with Dual Hybrid noise cancelling, a 40 mm driver, LDAC support and eight built-in microphones for calls. They come in black or silver.
The Technics page on Panasonic Australia lists up to 50 hours of playback with noise cancelling on (AAC), or 40 hours using LDAC. A 15 minute quick charge gives up to 10 hours (AAC, noise cancelling on).
Why you will love it
A 40 mm driver with LDAC
Technics fits a 40 mm driver with a PEEK/polyurethane 3-layer diaphragm. Panasonic lists the frequency response as 4 Hz to 40 kHz.
The headphones support LDAC, which Technics says is delivered at 96 kHz/24 bit over Bluetooth. They also support SBC and AAC.
Dual Hybrid noise cancelling
The EAH-A800 combines feedforward and feedback noise cancelling with analogue and digital processing. Panasonic describes it as industry-leading, based on its own research as of 31 October 2021 using JEITA-compliant guidelines for over-ear noise cancelling headphones.
Transparent mode lets in voices and ambient sound such as nearby traffic. Attention mode reduces unwanted external noise so voices are easier to hear, for example announcements on a train.
Eight microphones for calls
Eight MEMS microphones work with beamforming and noise suppression to pick out your voice and reduce the noise around you. Technics uses two talk microphones, plus feedforward and feedback microphones for noise cancelling, on each side.


Comfort, battery and daily features
The earpads are soft, high-density foam and the wire spring headband spreads pressure across the head. Panasonic lists the weight as approximately 298 g.
Multipoint pairing connects to two Bluetooth devices at once. Panasonic says LDAC connections also work with multipoint on the latest firmware, which needs the latest Technics Audio Connect app. A wearing sensor pauses the music when you take the headphones off, and resumes it if you put them back on within 60 seconds.
The Technics Audio Connect app handles pairing, noise cancelling and sound mode settings. You can also use Amazon Alexa or Siri.
