A guy with a one year review

So here I am ready to write up this fine review. I actually ordered these around black Friday in 2021, ordered 2 pairs for myself assuming I, or my son would lose an ear-bud. I bought a 3rd pair for my father-in-law. I spent a total of $98 for 3 pairs($28-$34USD each), beat that Raycon! I'm a big fan of guys-talking or Podcasts as people call them so I've used the same headphones DAILY while I work IT and Incident Management 8-11hours per day, 5 days a week. I've also popped these bad boys in when falling asleep for a nice motivational podcast a few nights a week. I'm an Arizona resident and recently my pool went swamp green after a dust storm in October(rare), being that chlorine is expensive enough to finance, I opted to drain my pool. So here I am, listening to Joe Rogan, ripping some legal Blue Dream and cleaning my empty pool with liquid chlorine and muriatic acid. While having the jolliest of times sucking filtered air through a respirator and wearing heavy duty rubber gloves - I felt an ear bud slipping out my ear from all the movement(rare). Being there was flesh burning acid on my gloves, I hoped for the best but needless to say the headphone fell out my ear and tumbled into a pool of acid and chlorine. At the time it was night, my headlamp wouldn't shine through the fog of acidy water pooled up. I felt defeated, a whole year of not losing these important headphones and the time I contemplated using them, I lose one. I tried to scoop out the ear bud but couldn't see it in the water, so in the baking soda/soda ash and acid neutralizing chemicals go to start draining out this concoction. After about 20 minutes, I spot the ear bud and assume its fried and probably shouldn't place it in my ear hole after it soaked in ACID for 20ish minutes. I was determined though, never will I pay more than $35 for simple headphones that bang. After finishing the pool acid wash, I cleaned up. Took the headphone to a glass bowl, dumped a heap of baking soda and some water to make a paste and submerged the headphone while stirring it around. Then I poured vinegar all over the headphone to hopefully neutralize the acid this headphone absorbed for 20ish minutes. My hopes were cloud 9. I set this earbud on my work desk with a fan pointed toward it and forgot about it for about 24-26 hours. The next day, I placed a new rubber fitting(these come with many different sizes) and popped it in my ear. To my hopes, she worked like she had never soaked in acid. I can only hope I do not lose my ear, ear drum, get cancer or die but I'll be damned if I spend more money on headphone to listen to guys talking (podcasts). Updated: The date is 12/12/21, about 6 weeks later. I also run a detail business. So here I am tackling a 2016 F150 king cab long bed, jamming guys talking with my Tozo NC2s in my ear holes. Quite the long interior cleanup with a basic exterior hand wash including removal off splattered egg that's been beaten by the sun(damn teens, always uncalled for). The in-laws had the traditional Christmas pizza cookout party at 530pm and time was running tight. The time came to pack up but I had an unexpected visit about a Dodge RAM TRX in which I popped out my Tozo ear buds and left them on the side of bed rail of the F150.. I was in a rush to pack up and go, given I had lost time trying to score another detail job,... I forgot to get my oh so important ear buds! Luckily I had my backups and still had to go back to the truck about 56 hours later but what happens in that time? Phoenix gets unexpected rain. A good amount of rain. And the owner was bound to drive his newly cleaned out truck. Nerves were definitely high but didn't bother to tell the owner as I figured my earlier mistake dooped me out of my ol' trusty ear buds... The day had come, a quick touch up of the F150. The first thing I looked for? Ear buds. Where could they be?! Immediately I found one! Hopes were anxiously high but the job had to be done as I had obligations to get back to my son. After finishing the job, I gave a most stellar search through the wet rock and puddled water to find the second ear bud!! This fine piece of hardware was smoothered into mud that I had stepped in previously while cleaning the truck. Oh boy. Yet excitement was high and curious if it was to soaked to work again. I mean it sat in drenched mud for over 16 hours... Being a detailer I had rubbing alcohol handy and gave both ear buds a thorough cleanup. I couldn't wait and immediately popped them in my charging case to see their simple white charging light brighten my hopes and instantly tried to take over my Bluetooth connection of the 2nd pair of earbuds which I currently had in my ear holes! Now I'm listening to guys talking as I type this now with these truely tested ear buds! Worth your money folks. Enjoy! And I guess that is just showbiz baby -------------- I wasn't put on this earth to review this product but I'd be damnrd if I didn't. Today is Wednesday, 1/18/2023. Post pandemic. The US dollar is becoming the next penny. I'm working my IT job for 9.5 hours long for thousands of penny's and and using my Tozo noise canceling ear buds to listen to guys talking and the time comes to get off work. My wife and 2 year old boy went on a walk to the park only a few blocks away so I figure, "why not hop on the bicycle and go find them? Heck I could still listen to guys talking while getting my heart pumping." So that is exactly what I did, ....but the wrong direction. I rode 1 mild the wrong way and back tracked 1.7 miles the right way. Luckily I spot my wife and 2 year old son who told me "dad! Rip the meanest wheelies you've done in 10 years!" ....I obliged. I ripped numerous wheelies. One wheelies sent me on my behind(ass). This must of been when my Tozo earbuds went missing..... Fast forward 3 hours; I'm looking for the Tozies, anxious for some guys talking and to do some house chores... They're no where to be seen. They're not connecting... "dang nabbit!!" I screamed in my head. 'They must be in the street when I was going extreme' ..I grab my boy and have him hold the wheel while I shine my craftsman flashlight out the window. "HOLY SHNIKES! TOZO!" I gasped! There they were in all there well built glory, nestled on the side of the road. Not sure but they may of even been ran over but guess what? Yeah, they still work just fine! Thank you Tozo! __________________________ I guess, ...my final update. Its 5/22/2023. My Tozo NC2s had to succumb damage to the new family Golden Retriever puppy. She's a joy, but she ended a great streak of reliable, well built Tozo NC2s. I definitely felt some defeat, a few sorrows, a few cries of "whyyyyyy?!!!!" but somehow knew it was coming with the pupp chewing on anything that isn't a dog toy. So the next few days I had used my old Tozo NC2s but found that the noise cancelling feature through touch had stopped working. This annoyed me greatly as I like to focus while working my jobs and need that feature especially for detailing vehicles. After about 5-6 weeks of dealing with the old pair, I found myself ordering another pair of some Tozies (hip name for TOZO NC2s). They were delivered by Amazon within the same day, about 7 hours later. What a joy! I finally got paired back with a great working pair of Tozies to cancel out my family noise, vacuums, air compressors and all the noises of life so I could simply listen to guys talking. Music has even become more appreciated with this new set. Chris Stapleton's voice sounds like I have my eyes closed listening to him in a padded room, its phenomenal! And great to get back to music. Since the new pair has been delivered, Penny the pupp has gotten ahold of the right ear-bud but didn't do enough damage to stop its great sound output or its 'stop / start' features with a simple finger tap. AGAIN, highly recommend the 5-star TOZO NC2s, nothing will beat the price for a solid quality product! You may ask, "What is next to review, Stefan?" Well.. I'll be out there giving great honest reviews on ye ol' Google to restaurants and stores. I hope you all live a blessed life and consider the Tozies for purchase as they are worth every American Penny. Over and Out folks!

I am a real reviewer. Not some Review Bot United States

After 4x different janky BT ear buds, I finally found a legit pair. That don't drop the signal!

*I do not/did not receive any kind of gift card or discount for doing a good review. If you read any of my past reviews I don't jack around with that. This review is 100% my own non biased opinion.* Just like the title says. These were my 4th attempt at some BT ear buds and I was ready to give up until these. All the previous BT ear buds around this price range were pure rubbish. Most had major connectivity issues in the sense that the signal would drop out if it basically was not in direct sight of my or even my girlfriends phones. They also would randomly try to pair with other BT devices. Just a host of bad experiences. Also, it makes it really tough these days to trust any reviews because they all try to game the system with gift cards or refunds if you remove a bad review. My overall rating on these would be 4.5 stars as they are not perfect, but for the price and how well they perform I bumped them up to 5. - Audio Nerd Stuff: The sound of these is on par for their price range.. They do sound "good" to almost "great" but lets not get carried away. They are dang good for the price range. They do bass but that's the one part I am having trouble getting dialed in. Instead of the sub 100hz hitting really good like some of the sony headphones, these are more tuned for that upper mid bass. They are heavier in the 100-250hz zone which is tough to try to EQ correctly. I spent a good while trying to tune 100-250hz down while keeping sub 100hz good but found it difficult. Not sure why but these head phones love that upper mid bass vs sub bass. No big deal though. The high's and mids are flat but don't read that in a bad way. Flat is pretty good. When companies start cranking high's or other dynamic ranges it tends to wash out the actual music. Again for the price, these are good to great headphones. No complaints. Oh yeah the stereo separation on this was actually damn good! I always felt BT audio didn't do that well. These do. - Fit: Well of course this is relative, but for me they did well. I'd say the fit for me is 4 out of 5 stars. I wore them on a 100mi bike ride and I only had to kind of secure or push them back in deeper a few times due more to sweat than fit. They were comfy for the 5.5hrs I was on the bike - Signal: This is where they are a freaking home run for me. NOT ONCE in that 100mi did I ever drop a signal. I was blown away. With all the previous BT earbuds I have tried all of them would drop a signal from really bad like every 5 seconds to like a couple times an hour. Not these! Not one time did they cut out or drop the signal. - ANC: Active Noise Cancelling. Well there is no special like technology that cancels noise on these.. Dumbest marketing term that is blown out of proportion these days. They are buds that go in your ears...That's the noise cancelling part. - Transparency Mode: They are marketing this as if it something ground breaking. You enable this mode and it's literally just a band pass filter that gets in enabled. All this mode does it basically cut all the bass off via band pass filter . Kind of dumb but whatever. - Charging Case: It's smaller than most and usb C. Not much more to say. Magnets pull it down.. It's awesome and I appreciate the smaller size case compared to others I have tried. - Touch control: Worked very well compared to previous BT ear buds I've tried. Lots of times it's really hard to tape the ear bud in the right spot to skip a track or whatever, but with these I found it very easy. - Mic: I have not tried or used this for a call yet. - Battery Life: So far it's been great. I did that 5.5hrs bike ride and they lasted the whole ride. I do understand all these companies claim bold statements on battery life and typically you are lucky to get half of what they claim. However, these made it 5.5hrs. It remains to be seen how long this will last for.. That's another common theme you see with BT ear buds is they work great at first then get bad quick.. Like in a month. - Wireless Charging. I had to set the case like dead center on my wireless charger to work but it does work. I have to do that with my phone too so no points off there. So that's basically it. I mean there's other non relevant stuff like the packaging it came in was nicer than others, but that doesn't matter. I will buy more products from this company in the future. I am finally happy.

BEST TOZO Earbuds thus far! With effective ANC that rivals Apple Airpods Pro

I've been falling in love with this set of earbuds from TOZO. Get it. You won't regret it! It's not the cheapest nor as expensive as the Apple Airpods Pro earbuds at $250. But its functions are almost identical to the AirPods Pro. ANC The best feature of the NC2 is its active noise canceling function. I've compared its ANC capability with my Airpods Pro by doing my "bathroom test." My first-floor bathroom has a very noisy fan on the ceiling. It's the best place to do an ANC test in the house. I can barely hear the fan on my Airpods Pro with the ANC on. If Airpods Pro is a 10 on a 1-to-10 effectiveness scale (10 being most effective), I would give TOZO NC2 a close 9. I was pleasantly surprised since I liked how it sounds, and wanted it to have a good ANC feature! The ANC is turned on and off by the touch-sensitive button on the outer casing. One-touch on the left earbuds turns it on and doing that again turn off the ANC and turns on the TRANSPARENCY mode. Any touch-sensitive button can be misread by the device (perhaps this is why Apple did not use a touch-sensitive feature on its Airpods Pro). But I found an effective way to turn on and off the features on the NC2's--to turn on the ANC mode, touch the left earbud's button (outer casing) and keep it pressed for a fraction a second, then take your finger off. This is a sure way to make the device read it as a 1-touch command (and not a 2-touch command) in order to turn on the ANC or the TRANSPARENCY mode. I do the same on the right earbud (which is for forwarding to the next song). TRANSPARENCY Mode A good set of earbuds with a good ANC feature should also have an effective transparency mode. And it does. Once it's on, I can hear everything around me when I'm on a walk around the neighborhood with my dog. But there's one aspect of the NC2's transparency mode that's not as good as the AirPods Pro--it's when it's windy outside. I was on a walk around the neighborhood with my dog, and the wind was about 16 mph. Hissing sound of the wind was noticeable. But when the wind is below 10 mph (which is typical in my area), there's no hissing sound. So, when I'm on a Costco or Target run, I take my NC2's. On a very windy day going for a walk, I take my Airpods Pro or my TOZO T5 Sport (that has an ear hook that's great for walking and running). SOUND I love the bass on the NC2's. It's punchy and boomy (when the music warrants it). But the bass is not so pronounced like my T12's that are designed for bass lovers. The NC2's give you a nice balance of the bass, the mids, and the highs. I would say its sound is close to the TOZO NC9's. CONNECTION When you open the case on the NC2, your paired device will display: "TOCO NC2 Connected." That's what I get on my iPhone 8. So, the connection is immediate. DISTANCE With my NC2 earbuds on (and playing music) I walked 2 rooms away (separated by walls--not an open concept floor plan) from my iPhone 8. The connection was great; there was no flickering or cutting out at all. I was quite impressed by the earbuds' ability to maintain the connection! ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT (This is for TOZO) I have medium-sized hands (they're always dry), and it's not easy to take out the earbuds from the case--notably, this difficulty occurs with earbuds that are designed with a stem, like the Apple Airpods Pro. I have a slightly easier time taking out my Airpods Pro from its case as compared to the NC2's. Yet, earbuds that are not designed with a stem, like the TOZO T12, the T10, and the NC9, are WAY easier to take out of the case than my Airpods Pro. So, earbuds with a stem have this typical issue. My recommendation to TOZO is if at all possible, to use a more grippy plastic or design the earbuds to be more grippy somehow. This issue is not a deal-breaker, but if I were at the helm of TOZO, I would focus on this as one of the features to improve on the NC2's going forward. CONCLUSION: NC2's are my go-to earbuds at home, in the office, and on a Target run, hands down. I only use my Apple Airpods Pro on a very windy day out on a walk with my dog. Right now, that seems to be the only time I am pulling out my Airpods Pro's--all other occasions pull me toward my NC2's!

Amazing earbuds for the price

I originally bought this earbuds on April 2022 and had to replace them because I lost my case back in November 2022. My first set were used for 5 days a week for 6-7 hours straight with ANC on before I even needed to charge them for an hour and than I’d be good to go for another full charge with constant use with no issues whatsoever. The second set that I had to replace have been going through the same amount of use since November and have been perfect as my previous ones. The sound quality is good when you take them out of the case but when you enable ANC the bass boost up perfectly for my personal taste and the sound quality just changes drastically. I like the simplicity to change modes, volume, pause, skip song or Siri. One my favorite features is if you need to take off your earbud to listen to someone when you don’t want to be on transparency mode the earbuds will pause automatically and once you place it back in your ear it will resume play. Another plus is the case will charge about 3 charges until you need to recharge both and let’s not forget the wireless charger case. The package also comes with 5 silicon size covers and a small charging usb-c cable. My only complain is if you want to turn off both ANC or transparency mode you need to place them back into case and once they turn off take them back out but other than that I have no problems as I hardly come off of ANC but would’ve been great to have that option. Overall all I still give this earbuds 5 stars for the quality and of course the price, I have never used apple earbuds but for the price difference and how satisfied I am with this earbuds I don’t feel the need to even buy them. In all If this is the type of earbuds you are looking for then I will definitely recommend them to anyone. UPDATE- 11 months later Earbuds are still going strong with constant use 5 days a week with the same amount of playing time of 6-7 hours with one charge. Noise cancellation still works amazing as I work on a noisy environment and does its job perfectly.. P.S. I’ve read reviews where sometimes one earbud will disconnect and connect back and loses ANC mode, to fix the issue quick all I do is go into transparency mode and back to ANC. And to address this issue it has only happen to me about 3 times since I’ve bought them so not really anything I worried about. I still recommend this product and holds up to my original review of 5 stars and would definitely buy again. UPDATE September 2024 - I need to clarify that my original earbuds from April 22 are still being used that are now over 2yrs 5months old. Quality is still good but I decided to use the newer earbuds I had set aside as I have noticed that the battery life has degraded. I know get just below 4hrs with ANC on nonstop playing on a single charge compared to the newer set which can definitely get around 6hrs but after 15-20 minutes of charge I can get another 1.5hrs. I think that I might retire this set by the end of the year and start with a new fresh one and for the price as I said it’s worth every penny. I still recommend them if you like this type of earbuds and with the amount of use I got from them, keep in mind if you use them less frequently you will definitely get more life out of what I got.
