Technics is the audio brand Panasonic revived for people who care about sound, and the EAH-A800 pairs good noise cancelling with a long battery life. After a couple of years of daily wear the same few parts give out as on any pair of headphones, and all of them can be replaced.
Blue Apple repairs Technics headphones at Rijnstraat 76-H in Amsterdam. Every model has its own page with the repairs we offer for it: start at the Technics repair page.
What usually goes wrong with Technics headphones
- Ear cushions that wear. The cushions flatten and the surface breaks down, which weakens the seal for the noise cancelling.
- Battery that no longer lasts. A battery that once gave days of use now needs charging far sooner.
- Charging port faults. A USB-C port that is loose or dirty, charging only at an angle.
- Headband wear. The band cover and padding wear where they rest on your head.
- Sound on one side. A quiet or crackling cup can be a driver or the wire to it.
The Technics models we repair
Every model below has its own page, with the repairs we offer for it and what each one costs.
Repair or replace?
A repair is usually a smaller expense than a new pair, particularly for cushions, a band pad or a port. For a battery or a driver it is a bigger job but still below the price of replacing the headphones. We tell you after the diagnosis.
Looking after your headphones
- Wipe the cushions. Sweat and skin oil break the surface down.
- Keep them in the case. It protects the band and the cups.
- Charge before fully flat. Deep discharge ages the battery.
