The Technics EAH-A800 have the looks, the build quality and the specification to compete, as well as a storied logo. That's just as well, really, as on paper they look slightly overpriced. There are a few areas where they could do better, sure - especially where active noise-cancellation is concerned.

Easier, certainly, than an asking price in excess of pretty much any realistic rival. Intrigued? Read on for our full Technics EAH-A800 review. The Technics EAH-A800 are available to buy now.
