Technics EAH-A800 Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The Technics EAH-A800 are premium noise cancelling over-ear headphones from Technics (Osaka, Japan), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Built around a 40 mm driver with a three-layer PEEK/Polyurethane cone, a dual hybrid feedforward and feedback active noise cancellation system combining analogue and digital processing, and an eight-microphone array with spatial filtering for call clarity, the EAH-A800 delivers Technics' legendary sound quality in a headphone designed for home listening, remote work, and travel. Ultra-soft cushions with even pressure distribution and a full-head pressure-reducing headband ensure extended wearing comfort without fatigue.

Technics Sound Quality in a Wireless Headphone

The EAH-A800's 40 mm driver uses a three-layer diaphragm combining PEEK (polyether ether ketone) and polyurethane materials — a construction that balances the high rigidity needed for accurate high-frequency reproduction with the damping characteristics required to control bass resonance. The result is a wide, immersive sound with a genuine feeling of amplitude and depth, rich and controlled bass, and the precise nuance retrieval that has defined Technics audio products across decades of speaker and amplifier engineering. This is a headphone built on the same acoustic philosophy as Technics' Grand Class components, applied to personal listening.

Dual Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation

The EAH-A800 uses a dual hybrid noise cancellation architecture that combines feedforward and feedback microphone configurations with both analogue and digital processing stages. Feedforward microphones face outward to detect and cancel incoming noise before it reaches the ear. Feedback microphones monitor the sound inside the ear cup and correct any residual noise that passes the feedforward stage. Running both analogue and digital processing in parallel allows the system to address noise across a wider frequency range and with greater speed than either approach alone.

Eight-Microphone Array for Call Clarity

The EAH-A800's call performance uses eight microphones in total, with four dedicated to voice pickup using spatial filtering technology. Spatial filtering analyses the direction of incoming audio to distinguish the user's voice from ambient sound, suppressing background noise and wind noise so the speaker's voice is transmitted clearly to the other party. Wind noise reduction is applied specifically to handle outdoor call conditions where conventional microphone arrangements struggle most.

Key Features

• 40 mm Three-Layer PEEK/Polyurethane Driver: High-rigidity PEEK combined with polyurethane damping for rich bass, controlled resonance, and precise high-frequency nuance
• Dual Hybrid ANC (Feedforward + Feedback): Analogue and digital processing combined; feedforward cancels external noise before it enters the ear cup; feedback corrects residual noise inside; wider frequency range and faster response than single-type ANC
• Eight-Microphone Array with Spatial Filtering: Four mics dedicated to voice pickup with directional spatial filtering; four additional mics for ANC and wind noise reduction; superior call clarity in any environment
• Wind Noise Reduction: Dedicated wind noise processing for outdoor and commuting call performance
• Ultra-Soft Ear Cushions: Even pressure distribution across the ear for a stable fit without localised hotspots during extended wear
• Full-Head Pressure-Reducing Headband: Distributes clamping force across the entire head rather than concentrating it at the top of the skull for long-session comfort

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Technics EAH-A800 headphones?

The Technics EAH-A800 are premium noise cancelling over-ear headphones featuring a 40 mm three-layer PEEK/Polyurethane driver, dual hybrid feedforward and feedback active noise cancellation with analogue and digital processing, and an eight-microphone array with spatial filtering for superior call clarity. They are designed for home listening, remote work, and travel.

What type of noise cancellation does the EAH-A800 use?

The EAH-A800 uses a dual hybrid system combining feedforward and feedback active noise cancellation with both analogue and digital processing. Feedforward microphones face outward to detect incoming noise before it reaches the ear, while feedback microphones monitor and correct residual noise inside the ear cup. Running both in parallel covers a wider frequency range than single-type ANC systems.

How many microphones does the Technics EAH-A800 have?

The EAH-A800 has eight microphones in total. Four are dedicated to voice pickup during calls, using spatial filtering technology to isolate the user's voice and suppress background and wind noise. The remaining microphones support the active noise cancellation system.

What makes the EAH-A800 driver special?

The 40 mm driver uses a three-layer diaphragm combining PEEK and polyurethane materials. PEEK provides the rigidity needed for accurate high-frequency reproduction, while polyurethane adds damping to control bass resonance. This combination produces a wide, immersive soundstage with rich bass and fine detail retrieval across the full frequency range.

Are the Technics EAH-A800 comfortable for extended listening?

Yes. The EAH-A800 is designed with ultra-soft ear cushions that distribute pressure evenly around the ear and a headband engineered to reduce clamping pressure across the entire head rather than concentrating it at a single point, making them suitable for long listening and work sessions.

Where can I buy the Technics EAH-A800 in Toronto or Canada?

The Technics EAH-A800 headphones are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, an authorised Technics dealer. Contact us to arrange a demonstration or to discuss which Technics headphone best suits your listening and call quality needs.
