The EAH-A800 comes in black and silver and the only real design flourish is the engraved Technics logo on the metal portion of the earcups. Compared to its closest rivals – the Sony WH-1000XM4 and Bose QuietComfort 45 – the EAH-A800 looks bulkier, but it folds and can be stowed away in its carrying case.
All of the EAH-A800’s controls are on the right earcup. Physical buttons control playback and volume, while the metal portion on the earcup serves as a touch panel for switching between active noise-cancelling and ambient sound modes. One nice thing about the buttons is that the volume buttons are shaped slightly differently so it’s easy to find them without looking. The touch panel is also responsive and registers your inputs faithfully.
At 298g, the EAH-A800 is a good bit heavier than its closest rivals. Fortunately, generous padding in the headband and large plush earpads help alleviate the extra weight. The clamping force is a bit excessive at first but eases up with use. Once the EAH-A800 is a bit more worn-in, it never becomes uncomfortable to wear.
