Getting to Japan took me almost a full day and about 33 hours back. That’s why I needed various entertainment options to make time pass faster. Of course, music, series and movies were among these options, that’s why I needed good wireless headphones to fully enjoy the audio.
My first choice was the Technics EAH-AZ80high-end wireless headphones that I particularly like for the excellent sound quality that they offer me. The audio is clear and has powerful bass that does not saturate, in addition to being accompanied by a excellent noise cancellation which allowed me to largely silence the noise of the plane.
In addition, the full battery life of these headphones can arrive within 24 hours with noise cancellation enabled, enough to get me through my trip before having to charge the case. These Technics EAH-AZ80s have a recommended retail price of 299.99 euros and you can buy them on Amazon and at El Corte Inglés.

In addition to the Technics EAH-AZ80, I also chose to take the Redmi Buds 5 Pro as secondary option for several reasons. First, for fear of being left without headphones if I lost the Technics EAH-AZ80, something more than possible. Second, for fear that the Technics ones would run out of battery, which is also possible. And, third, because the Redmi Buds 5 Pro offer a a more powerful sound than those of Technics.
I like to listen to music at a very high volume, so sometimes put that high power before sound quality. In addition, the Redmi Buds 5 Pro also seem to me to be comfortable wireless earphones, with good noise cancellation and with an extended autonomy, reaching 38 hours with the help of the charging case. These have a recommended retail price of 69.99 euros, but you will have no trouble finding them cheaper on Amazon, AliExpress, PcComponentes and MediaMarkt.

With its 20,000 mAh, the external battery helped me extend the life of the mobile
Of course, the power bank is practically essential for a trip, because it is the device that seems to save your life when your mobile phone runs out of energy. In my case, I took the 20,000 mAh EnergyQCwith more than enough capacity for recharge my cell phone when it dropped below 20% battery. Additionally, it was also used to charge other devices such as wireless headphones.
INUI 20,000 mAh external battery
It’s been a few years since this EnergyQC was listed for sale, so not available for purchase. However, you can check out other “power banks” with similar features. For example, the INUI 20,000 mAh external battery It allows you to charge your smartphone with a power of 22.5W. It has 2 USB-A ports and one USB-C portallowing you to charge up to 3 different devices at once.
Before concluding these recommendations, I must mention that The Google Pixel 7’s 4,355mAh battery held up very well demanding use throughout the day. It was therefore normal that I didn’t need this power bank and that I only had to recharge it when I returned to the hotel in the evening, even when the navigation and photography sessions were intense.
