Live Music Through Earphones? Technics Hosts Silent Music Event Featuring STUTS, DJ ZAI, and More

Panasonic Corporation held a new music live event "SILENT BLOCK PARTY by Technics" at Shibuya THE ROOM on March 2, 2026. This live event utilizes "Auracast," a feature that allows audio to be distributed from a single sound source to multiple earphones and other devices with low latency and high quality.

This event, which invited users of the completely wireless earphones "EAH-AZ100," was held with the aim of allowing fans to experience new ways of enjoying music, as well as to deepen their understanding of the world of the Technics brand, which has over 60 years of history. It also served as a venue to propose the possibilities of new live experiences realized by utilizing Auracast.

On the day of the event, attendees were asked to wear the completely wireless earphones "EAH-AZ100," and audio was streamed from transmitters installed in the venue to individual earphones via Auracast. This created a new live space where each attendee could experience high-quality, immersive sound, despite the "silent" environment with no sound coming from the venue's speakers.

At the venue, starting with a DJ set by DJ ZAI, followed by a live performance by STUTS, and a session with Akihisa Kitazato, the event unfolded. The clear and delicate sound delivered through the earphones, combined with the close proximity to the performers, created a high level of immersion different from conventional club events.

Performers commented on the unique experience of the event, such as "We were able to express ourselves differently by delivering sound through earphones," and "It was a strange feeling, like a personal experience, while sharing the sound with the audience."
