If you can’t get no satisfaction from your current headphones, then you’re in luck.
Technics has just partnered with The Rolling Stones on a limited‑edition version of its celebrated EAH‑AZ100 earbuds, released to coincide with Foreign Tongues, the Stones’ latest studio album. The project brings together the group’s long musical legacy and Technics’ reputation for precision sound, with both sides treating it as a genuine joint venture rather than a simple branding exercise.
The special edition is built around the same acoustic platform as the standard Technics EAH‑AZ100, a model known for its clarity and low distortion. At its core is the Magnetic Fluid Driver, a first‑of‑its‑kind design that reduces mechanical friction and delivers cleaner movement across the full frequency range.
The result is tight bass, natural treble and a level of detail that suits the production values of Foreign Tongues, recorded at Metropolis Studios in London. For listeners who want to hear the album as it was mixed, the tuning is a strong match.

Recording The Rolling Stones Foreign Tongues
Foreign Tongues was recorded at Metropolis Studios in West London, where The Rolling Stones spent less than a month cutting the album. The sessions reunited Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood with producer Andrew Watt, who had previously overseen Hackney Diamonds.
The album includes contributions from Darryl Jones, Matt Clifford and Steve Jordan, with additional appearances from Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Poignantly, one track also features Charlie Watts, taken from one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021.

Each unit carries a laser‑engraved serial number, running from 0001 to 5000, marking it as a strictly limited run.
For Stones fans, it’s a piece of memorabilia with practical use. For Technics followers, it’s a cool crossover that perfectly fits the brand’s audiophile identity.
