Features

Overview: The Technics EAH-A800 over-ear wireless headphones combine Technics\’ legendary sound and performance with exceptional comfort and elegant style. The headphones feature Bluetooth 5.2 with multipoint pairing, Active Noise Cancelling, and long battery life. Eight high-performance MEMS microphones are built-in for cancelling noise and enhancing speech. The EAH-A800 comes with audio and charging cables, airplane adapter, and a zippered storage case. The headphones come in silver and black.

Drivers: The EAH-A800s are equipped with 40mm PEEK/Polyurethane 3-layer diaphragm drivers that offer a wide frequency response up to 40kHz. You can listen to your Hi-Res digital audio files while plugged in (using the included audio cable), or wirelessly (via the LDAC codec), hearing your music the way the artist intended.

Ear Pads/Headband: The headphones have soft-cushioned ear pads that distribute the pressure evenly around your ear while creating a seal to reduce ambient noise. The padded headband reduces the pressure across the crown of your head, allowing you to listen for hours without fatigue.

Bluetooth 5.2: The headphones feature Bluetooth 5.2, the latest version of the wireless technology. Bluetooth Multipoint technology allows you to connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. That means you can wirelessly listen to your music on your laptop and take an incoming call on your cellphone when it comes in. The headphones support A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, and HFP profiles, as well as SBC, AAC, and LDAC codecs. The LDAC codec, developed by Sony, elevates your wireless listening experience to include Hi-Res audio delivered in 96kHz/24-bit clarity. When you can\’t (or don\’t want to) listen wirelessly, you can connect to your music source using the included audio cable. An airline adapter (female 3.5mm jack-to-dual male 3.5mm plugs) is included for listening to onboard entertainment during your flight.

Voice Microphones: The headphones\’ 4-mic Beamforming and Noise Suppression technology makes your phone calls clear and noise-free. The two main and two sub microphones actively capture your voice while reducing surrounding noise and reducing wind noise.

Active Noise Cancelling: The EAH-A800\’s Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) utilizes Dual Hybrid Feed-Forward and Feed-Back microphones for picking up ambient noise. When ANC is active, the ambient noise is cancelled by mixing in an equal-but-opposite audio signal. A Transparent Mode captures voices and other surrounding sounds and feeds them into the headphones so you can hear external sounds as if you\’re not wearing headphones at all. A touch sensor on the outside of the right ear cup lets you switch between Noise Cancelling and Ambient Sound with a double-tap. You can customize the levels of the Noise Cancelling and Ambient Sound features using the Technics Audio Connect App.

Onboard Controls: On the back of the right ear cup are onboard audio and phone controls: a multi-function button and two volume controls (+ and -). In addition to raising or lowering the volume with the outer buttons, you can control audio playback (play/pause, next track, start current track over, fast forward, or fast rewind) or phone calls (answer, reject, end call). You can also use the multi-function button to activate Siri or Amazon Alexa voice assistants.

Technics Audio Connect App: The Technics Audio Connect App adds extra convenience for connecting and configuring the EAH-A800 headphones. The app shows you the charging status of your headphones at a glance. With your fingertips, you can dial in just the right amount of noise cancelling or ambient sound from 0% to 100%. The app also has a 5-band EQ with preset EQ curves to tailor the sound of the headphones to your particular taste. If a headphone update is available, it can be downloaded in the app and loaded to the headphones wirelessly. The Audio Connect App is available from the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 11.0 or later. The app is also available from Google Play for Android devices 5.0 and up.

Wearing Sensor: The headphones have a wearing sensor that automatically stops the music playback if they are removed from your head. When you put them back on, the music automatically resumes. To save battery power, the headphones will automatically shut off if they are not put back on within 60 minutes.

Power: The Technics EAH-A800 is powered by a 3.7-volt rechargeable Lithium polymer battery. The battery charges in approximately 3 hours via a 5V USB power source of 1200mA or higher using the included USB cable. A 15-minute quick charge provide approximately 10 hours of playback time (Noise Cancelling ON, Codec AAC). Standby Time is approximately 120 hours with Noise Cancelling off and 60 hours with NC on. Fully charged playback time varies according to the selected codec and noise cancelling:
