The Golden X1 set has a 50mAh battery inside each earbud and a reserve battery of 500mAh inside the cradle. TOZO claims a maximum of 8 hours and 32 hours total time. So I’m assuming you can get 4 full charges from one full charge of the cradle. CALLS AND GAMES: The Tozo A1 puts your voice through clear enough in calls, but a bit too soft. Nearby and distant noise around you comes through very loud and overrules your voice, just like wind does. It's only doable to take a phone or video call with these in quiet areas. TOZO T6 is the best TOZO earbuds on the market right now. Top-rated and well-known true wireless IPX8 waterproof TWS stereo earbuds. The beautiful design, incredible sound quality, and a powerful deep bass music listening experience for up to 6 hours wirelessly. The app has another section that lets you play around with the Golden X1 touch control functions, another section that lets you select between ANC, transparent mode, and reduced wind noise plus a leisure mode that is more effective at reducing noise compared to the ANC mode.

They’re also comfortable to wear as a set for long periods. But they are sonically sensitive to ear tip selection, particularly size-wise. The wrong size affects the bass mostly and it also affects the midrange bands I noticed. It gives you something to grab onto when you insert the earbuds but the stem is not so obvious and I like that aspect. I can name some TWS designs in which the stem is overly long. Another positive characteristic of the design is that they stay put. Make sure you’ve turned Bluetooth & coverage on your mobile, then power ON the earbuds and wait till the rightearbudflashes red and blue alternately and the leftearbudflashes blue slowly. Then you canconnectit to Bluetooth. If you still have a problem and do not see these indicators, please restart it or reset it. In terms of aesthetics, the earbuds do not look very appealing or high-tech. They are very susceptible to scratches and can damage easily. Fortunately, they are very easy to replace — because of their lower price tag. Then I remembered that the Golden X1 is not aptX capable, and that codec, particularly the low latency variant is the king on that front and most modern-day sets can employ that variant but not this one.

What’s it like to use TOZO NC2?

It’s a full-featured app and it includes all the goodies you’d expect from a mid-tier TWS model. There’s a 10-band equalizer with 16 presets but you can also create your own EQ curve presets and store them for later use. Sensitivity was also average. I would say the microphone system is highly useful but not a reference standard if there’s such a thing. Controls Touch

If you have a BT 5.3 transmitter feeding the Golden X1 it could yield you a longer transmission distance but with my trusty FiiO BTA30 5.0 transmitter, I could go past 37 feet with no dropouts as long as I stay in clear view of the source. The compatible audio codecs the Golden X1 can run are AAC, SBC, and LDAC. Note that this set doesn’t run any aptX codecs so I suggest you keep that in mind. But if your device can run on LDAC you’re golden, no pun intended. I did get a full 4.5 charges from the cradle which surpasses TOZO’s claims. I did wait until the set powered down on its own but there’s always some power left over within the batteries so that can explain away the extra half charge above the manufacturer’s specs. On the other hand, TOZO wireless Bluetooth earbuds are the best value for your money. They provide you with longer battery life than any Apple AirPods, and it’s ideal for sweating out at the gym or physical activities. Also, it sounds sharp and has all those essential features as AirPods do. Both TOZO earbuds and cases even can be washed with water and soap whereas Apple doesn’t.

They're pretty to look at, but what about their personality? I'm happy to report that TOZO's efforts were not in vain. Equipped with hi-res audio support, LDAC audio decoding, customized balanced armature drivers, and 12mm dynamic drivers, these earbuds set a superb soundstage for audio enthusiasts and music lovers. Then I noticed that the driver configuration was audiophile-oriented and composed of a hybrid setup that uses a 12mm dynamic driver with a carbon nanotube diaphragm along with a custom Knowles balanced armature. TOZO claims this combo can dish out a frequency response of 12Hz to 44kHz. I did notice a few milliseconds of lag behind whatever video I was watching. It wasn’t too bad but it was noticeable. L looked around for a low latency mode within the app but no dice. The common denominator in these eight TOZO earbuds and every other pair of wireless earbuds in their lineup is an affordability-first mindset that doesn’t sacrifice quality. The TOZO Golden X1 ran stable at all times and even when I roamed around the house but as usual, Bluetooth transmissions dislike corners or going through walls and so does this set.

SOUND QUALITY: Perhaps Tozo choose another letter for the A1 and the T-series because of the sound tuning. The A1 is less bass heavy and less warm-sounding than its siblings. The sound is more geared towards the mids. Male and lower female vocals sound less warm, a bit more natural on the A1. Guitar and piano play also benefit from this approach - they're not recessed or dragged toward the lower-mids like on the models. When you open the Golden X1 box by sliding the top off, you’re greeted with the cradle, the two earbuds, and a tip tray containing five rubber tip sets in different sizes. Add the preinstalled set to that for a total of six sets. TOZO also implemented something called ORIGX Pro within this set. It seems it’s something similar to DIRAC or a similar DSP correction type that fixes things up. I couldn’t find any information on it and it seems TOZO wants to keep this special sauce recipe under wraps. Trust me, I asked. The funny thing is that there is a wind reduction mode but it’s not as effective as its ANC counterpart at the same task. But at least you have a few to choose from and you can also make one of your own within the app if the factory presets don’t cut the mustard. Microphone System Right off the case, you can tell they took inspiration from the Apple AirPods Pro. The physical shape of the earbuds may not be as well rounded off as Apple’s, but they look premium and happen to provide improvements in certain aspects.

How does TOZO NC2 compare to TOZO NC9?

When speaking about the extra bells and whistles such as active noise cancellation, water resistance, gaming, and transparency modes, this pair of Bluetooth earbuds has none. Therefore, these earbuds fall short when it comes to very specific use cases such as working out and eliminating outside noise. The output nozzles will accept aftermarket tips but they seem to have a slightly oval shape at the tip so you might find them a bit awkward for ear tip rolling. On the front side, there’s what TOZO calls a breathing indicator which is an LED bar that shows the charging status by increasing the breathing effect speed as it approaches a 100% charge amount and becomes stagnant when at 100%. Battery life The New Apple AirPods Pro is a better wireless earphone than any TOZO earbuds. They are built with a more comfortable fit, premium design, solid build quality, better noise-isolating capability, and produce clean and clear sound for listening to music or phone calls.
