TOZO NC9 Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds

Overview

Hybrid active noise cancellation rated to 45dB anchors the TOZO NC9, paired with a 6-microphone array for calls and 10mm drivers for bass. The charging case adds an LED battery display and works with a companion app offering 32 EQ presets.

TOZO leans on its app more than most budget earbud makers, using it to expose 32 EQ presets and a Sharing Zone for trading custom EQ profiles with other users. That's a lot of tuning available for the price, though it means getting the best sound out of these earbuds takes a few minutes in the app rather than working well out of the box.

• Hybrid ANC rated to 45dB
• 6-mic ENC array for calls
• LED case display shows battery
• 32 EQ presets via the TOZO app

Who it's for

Works for commuters and remote workers who want ANC plus clear calls without spending on a premium brand. Less suited to anyone who wants earbuds that sound right without app tuning.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Noise cancellation reaches a rated 45dB, and Transparent Mode lets outside sound back in without removing the earbuds, useful for street crossings or quick conversations. Case battery is rated at 60 hours with ANC off and 40 hours with it on, drawn from 14 or 10 hours of single-charge playback respectively, with six earcap sizes to fit the noise seal correctly.
