The Technics EAH-AZ100 have excellent full-range noise isolation. While their ear tips don't do much to block out noise passively, their ANC system mitigates noise across the audible spectrum, with a slight falloff in effectiveness in the low-bass region. That said, this is normal for most ANC systems. Overall, ambient chatter, chunky footsteps, and fan noise will be adequately attenuated by the Technics with ANC enabled.

Compared To Other Headphones The AKG K361 are closed-back headphones positioned as professional studio monitors that are easier on the wallet.

The Google Pixel Buds app is great. The app includes a five-band graphic EQ and EQ presets, allowing you to tailor the earbuds' sound to your preferences. You can use 'Conversation Detection' to automatically switch the earbuds to 'Transparency' mode when you speak or manually change the ANC mode in the app. 'Spatial Audio' is also accessible through the app for increased immersion, though full functionality, including head tracking, requires a Pixel 6 or newer and compatible content.

The choices can be overwhelming if you're looking for headphones that are great for music. Depending on what kind of music you like, some headphones are better suited than others. Those listening to more instrumental or vocal-centric content like jazz or folk may prefer a more balanced sound with a wide, immersive soundstage. On the other hand, fans of EDM, hip-hop, and R&B may like their bass to give their favorite tracks extra thump and kick.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants We bought and tested the 65-inch LG QNED85T, and these results are also valid for the 50, 55, and 75-inch models. The 86-inch model uses an IPS panel, so our results aren't valid for that size. The exact model code varies between regions and retailers. The QNED85TAA variant sold at Costco comes with a remote that supports NFC, has Wi-Fi 6E, and has a longer warranty. There are two variants of this TV sold in Europe: the LG QNED86T and the LG QNED87T.

Compared To Other TVs The Samsung DU6900 is not a great performer, as its contrast and HDR brightness aren't good enough to provide an impactful HDR experience. Still, it performs well when compared to other entry-level products, such as the Hisense A6N and the Samsung DU8000, as its reflection handling is quite good, and the TV is bright enough in SDR to overcome some glare when used in moderately lit rooms.

Design Style Curved No The LG UT80 has a very simple design. The panel is flush with the borders, which are thin and don't stand out at all. It's largely made of plastic, and although it doesn't look bad, it's not premium at all. Design Accelerated Longevity Test Uniformity Pictures N/A Design Stand This TV uses a pair of V-shaped feet, which support the TV well.

Compared To Other TVs The Hisense QD7N QLED is a decent TV overall. It's a good option if you're specifically looking for a budget TV to pair with your Xbox Series X or PS5 since it has modern gaming features like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two of its ports for up to 4k @ 144Hz gaming with VRR. It even gives you the option to lower your resolution for a higher frame rate since it supports 1080p @ 240Hz, but unfortunately, VRR doesn't work when you do that.
