Technics and The Rolling Stones have released a limited edition of the EAH-AZ100 flagship earbuds. This is not a new model, but the already released earbuds that I previously broke down in my review. Only the packaging has changed — the release is timed with the band’s new album “Foreign Tongues” (July 2026). The production run is just 5000 units worldwide. I am looking into what exactly they are charging money for here.
What Is in the Rolling Stones Limited Edition
- The core is the flagship Technics EAH-AZ100: 10mm Magnetic Fluid Driver.
- Production run is 5000 units worldwide; sold as a Panasonic Store Plus model.
- Each pair has its own serial number on the back of the case; you cannot choose a specific number.
- The bundle includes an original rubber case with The Rolling Stones logo and a gift box.
- The earbuds themselves come in standard black.
- An important caveat from Technics: wireless Qi charging does not work with the branded rubber case on — you can only charge via cable.
What Is The Point Of The Limited Edition. The only difference in this EAH-AZ100 is the presentation — Technics added a numbered charging case, a rubber cover with the Stones logo, and a gift box. The buyer pays for the collectible value and the band’s brand, not for the sound.
How Much It Costs. Technics does not name a fixed price — the limited edition has an “open price,” meaning the store sets it themselves. The regular AZ100 costs around $250; Technics does not officially publish the markup for the collector’s version.
Who This Version Is For. This edition is strictly for a fan of The Rolling Stones or a collector who cares about getting one of the 5000 numbered units. The sound here remains exactly the same as the regular AZ100: I have already tested it, and you can find the full breakdown in my review.
