Update 07/15/2020:
After 9 months, one of my earbuds stopped functioning, however I emailed Tozo support and inquired about the 1 year warranty. After trying a few troubleshooting tips they suggested, my earbud was still not functioning. After replying back to Tozo support, they said they would ship a replacement. Great support from Tozo!
Update 07/12/2020:
After 9 months, my right earbud has stopped working completely. I don’t use these daily, maybe a a few times per month, and only for 1-2 hours at a time max if I go on a long walk. Although I initially said these were great (they do sound great), since they only lasted 9 months with minimal use, I am not sure how durable/reliable they are, unless I just happened to get a bad pair.
Original Review:
I just got these earbuds and I am really happy with them so far. My main use for these is to wear while working out at the gym. Since these earbuds are not name brand and less than $100, they are considered “cheap”. However, to me they are a great alternative to more expensive earbuds like AirPods, Echo Buds and Pixel Buds etc. Here is a review:
What You Get In the Box:
– Earbuds
– Case
– USB Cable
– Instructions
– Several different sizes of ear tips
Pairing:
Pairing these earbuds is really simple. All you have to do it take them out of the case and then you will see them available in your bluetooth settings.
Touch Controls:
The touch controls work great, but they are a little sensitive. Since the size of these earbuds is so small, it is easy to accidentally touch the controls even if you don’t mean too. However, it’s not a huge deal most of the time.
Fit:
These earbuds come with several ear tips, so most people should be able to find a size that works for them. Also, when you insert these earbuds, you give them a little twist to make them fit even more secure in your ear. I also like how they are compact and don’t have the long “Stick” piece that AirPods have that protrude outside of your ears. I wear these to the gym and they have yet to fall out.
Sound Quality:
I can’t compare these to AirPods or any other more expensive brand name earbuds, but these sound really good to me. Admittedly I am not an expert, but these have a nice rich sound to them. If you pick the ear tip that is the right size for you, they do a good job of sealing the audio in your ear, as well as keeping unwanted sound out.
Charging:
These can charge via USB cable, or if you have a wireless charger that works too. I have a wireless charger iPhone stand and as a test, I placed the earbud case on it. As expected, the case started to charge, so I can verify that it works fine.
Battery Life:
I haven’t used these more than an hour or two at a time, so for me battery life is not an issue, however I believe these are supposed to last at least 4-5 hours per charge.
Case:
The case is about 1 inch thick and 2 inches tall. One of the reasons I picked these earbuds over some of the other options is that I wanted a fairly compact carrying case to keep in my pocket while I am at the gym. This case to me is the perfect size. It seems pretty sturdy and makes a satisfying “click” when you close the lid. The earbuds are also held in the case magnetically. It can however be a little difficult to remove the earbuds from the case since they sit very snug in the case and the earbuds themselves are very smooth, so there isn’t much to grab onto. There are also 4 tiny lights on the case that give you a visual indicator of how much charge is left in the case. Finally, at the button of the case is a small rubber cap that you can remove to access the mini USB charging port.
Overall Build Quality:
The earbuds and case are both made out of plastic, but they both feel sturdy enough. These earbuds are also supposed to be water proof, which I have yet try. I’ll try to provide an update once I’ve had these a little longer.
Price:
I purchased these for $69, and that is considered a “Cheap” earbud. You can actually find some cheaper options, but these happen to have all the features I wanted in a good price range. They don’t have all the features that other earbuds like AirPods, Echo Buds and PixelBuds may have, but I also really didn’t care for any of those extra features and these cost much less.
Warranty:
If you register your earbuds on the Tozo site, they offer a 1 year warranty.
Final Review:
If you want a solid set of wireless earbuds that sound good and are relatively inexpensive, give these consideration.
Pros:
Nice small case
Good price
Good sound quality
They stay in your ears
Cons:
Touch controls are easy to accidentally “touch” since they earbuds are so small
Can be difficult to remove from the case since the case is compact and the earbuds are very smooth (nothing to grip on)

This is my third pair of Tozo 6s and each time the quality gets better every time. We have a total of 6 pairs in the house, so we like the product and the price is great. The sound, connectivity, and recharge speed has always been excellent, and continues to be excellent. With the upgraded version of the T6, the most noticeable difference is the design and weight of the earbuds and the batter life. The earbud itself is more ergonomically correct and lighter so when the correct earpiece is applied that fits your ear specifically the earbud remains secured in your ear and is very comfortable. They supply several earpieces, so there’s a very strong chance that you’ll find one that fits. The battery life on the these is a huge upgrade. I’ve used these for 8 hours at time (for work) with no charge required an no ear discomfort. Also there is an app to download that provides some sound control for folks that mainly use there phone for music and movies. I highly recommend these.

I needed some earbuds for work so I bought these. I needed to wear just one bud so I would be able to hear people talking to me and other alerts. These buds work very well with my iPhone 13 mini.
Usage: I get in the car in the morning and the phone pairs to the car’s audio system. When I get to work, I park the car, reach into my bag and take out either the left or the right bud, and put it in my ear. It turns on and connects immediately, with audible notifications, and the music automatically switches from the car to the bud without any button pushes. Then I just turn off the car and go. I wear the right bud on MWF, and the left one on T,Th,Sat. It is easy to pause the music with a single sharp tap to the outside of the bud. Taps work through latex gloves but not through fabric mittens (unless they have conductive material I imagine). The buds have other touch controls, but I never use them because the Apple Watch serves as a remote for the phone’s music app. I am able to make phone calls with either bud, so each one has a mic. The iPhone automatically defaults to use the buds for calls, so I can easily receive calls by answering and hanging up using my watch or the phone itself, although there are controls that will allow one to answer and hang up using taps on the buds (you might need to be wearing both buds for this type of control). I can also use talk to text on the watch or the phone. The music automatically resumes when the mic is no longer being used. I can also summon Siri using “Hey Siri.” The buds are a tiny bit clumsy when handling because they slip out of your fingertips a little, so be careful not to drop them. The case is nice and slim and fits well in a pocket. It’s hard to tell which one is the right bud and which one is the left bud, but there is a small letter on each one. They have to be placed into the case in their appropriate positions for charging.
Battery: The battery will not make it through eight hours of continuous play, but the case charges the bud quickly and you can get a few more hours after only a 15-minute charge. I charge the case once a week, which takes several hours. The case also has an indicator that tells you the approximate battery life remaining on the case. Each bud shows a red indicator light when it is taken out of the case if it is not fully charged, and shows a blue indicator light if it is fully charged. There is no indicator that tells you the percentage of charge from what I have experienced. When the battery gets low, a voice comes on to remind you, and it is very persistent, even when you pause the music. So you really have to put the bud back in the case.
Fit: I was amazed at how well these fit. I am 5’6″ and I have a small head, so I thought my ears would be too small. The buds come with size adjustment inserts, but I tried them and they didn’t improve the fit. The inserts that came pre-installed worked fine. They stay in place with moderate amounts of motion; however, I would hesitate to use them for exercise or sports because they feel comfortable but rather loose compared to my running buds. My running buds also have a rubber flap that helps keep them in place, and these buds don’t have anything like that. I had to run across the street with these buds and they didn’t fall out, so maybe they would be OK to take jogging. So far they have not fallen out at work. I don’t feel any discomfort after wearing them for a 10-hour shift.
Sound: I don’t know much about sound quality relative to the big name brands, and I don’t know much about noise cancellation, but I have used buds with terrible sound so I know that I would have returned these if I didn’t like the quality. I listen to a lot of music and I also write songs on an electronic piano keyboard using a computer workstation and I know what music should sound like, and I feel that these supply a rich, balanced sound and good volume level with very little grain or background noise. I know that if I wear both buds and turn the volume up, I will be in my own little world.
Overall these buds are a great value for the price and I am looking forward to enjoying my music library at work for as long as I can.
UPDATE: I decided to wear them while exercising because my other pair broke (typical). I went jogging/walking for 3.1 miles at a 10-minute mile pace on a slightly warm day (70 F). I broke a sweat but it was not like dripping sweat that I would get in South Carolina or Florida in the summer. I wore a headband to keep the sweat from dripping down, which was sufficient at this temperature. I think the buds got moist but not wet, and they didn’t fail. I cleaned them gently afterward with a cloth that was damp with isopropanol. I was afraid that they would fall out of my ears but they stayed with little need for adjustment. Pairing to my Apple Watch was no problem. I just told the phone to forget the device, then took the buds out of the case. They turn on automatically and go into pairing mode when there is no device that has previous association. Then I just went to the watch settings and hit the TOZO T6 button. Excellent! I decided to buy the NC9 which is a sport water-resistant model since both of my Jaybird devices are now in the trash.
Rick –
When receiving any product, I am instantly drawn to the build quality. If it seems cheap or flimsy, I already know how the product will endure over time. Sometimes it is expected, I know when I try to save a buck it can not have a positive outcome. In the case of these earbuds, I opted for them after looking at the Bose buds, after reading reviews where the connection between the left and right buds would drop out all of the time I couldn’t bring myself to spend over three times as much as this pair. So I opted for a cheaper solution to give it a go, as I don’t even know if I will like wearing them all of the time. So needless to say, I was expecting a cheap build quality…
That is not the case with these buds. As soon as I removed the charger I could feel the weight. Opening the top to expose where the buds are placed had such a quality feel you would think you were buying a much more expensive pair. The ear buds themselves seem to be built with the same care and quality, and dropping them into the charger you could hear a satisfying snap as they pulled in with the magnets to hold them securely. They instantly lit up red indicating charging so I was already feeling pretty good about this purchase.
I always charge anything I receive fully before using it, so I went to plug in the charger. It was a little difficult to get the charging cable out of the packaging, but once I did I was a bit disappointed in the length of the cable. So many products are coming with super short cables these days. Luckily I have a surplus sitting around of longer cables so they can reach my outlet chargers without having to dangle from the outlet itself. At this point this was my only disappointment. Nothing major, no stars to deduct, but it would be nice if they started including longer cables, they aren’t that expensive.
For those of you who may have trouble, the charging port is protected by a waterproof cover on the bottom (opposite lid) of the charter.
I was very happy to see the lights of the charge indicator light up. There are four little white lights that indicate the status of charging. I was also very happy to see that it quickly jumped from 1 light to two, shortly after to three. This tells me the charger was not fully discharged which is very important – you never want a battery of any kind fully discharged. A big problem with places like Amazon is products may sit on the warehouse shelves for quite some time. Over time batteries discharge, and when you receive a product with a fully discharged battery, that battery will not last nearly as long as it should. I have received several power tool batteries like this which is a major disappointment, but happily these still had a charge. That either means that there are very good batteries in the charger that maintain their charge, or it could be that the product was new and recently given to Amazon. Unfortunately I do not know which, but the fact that it had a charge is a good sign.
The next step was to remove the ear buds from the charger. This is something I had some difficulty with. My hands are on the larger side and a bit clunky. I managed to get the ear buds out, but the ease wasn’t quite how I would like. On an overall scale, I think this is only worth a .5 star deduction. I can still get them out, just some sort of perhaps rubber coating on the side to allow my fingers to cling to the bud would help.
I fitted the buds as they were without replacing with one of the other five size options they provide. They fit snug and comfortable.
The next step was pairing – this was easy. I opened my phone, when to bluetooth, add new device. It found the T6’s and paired quickly and easily.
Now for the big test – sound quality is very important to me. It is important to note that any bluetooth connected device will lose some quality. If you plug directly via cable into a car vs connected to bluetooth you can hear the difference if you have a tuned ear. It is also important to have a good overall sound range. Bass, Treble, Mid range, it is all important to have. These ear buds impressed me. I would like a little more bass for certain songs than these ear buds provide, but for most of the music I listen to they are perfect. All the tonal ranges blend perfectly. The stereo quality is perfect too. These are true stereo, so music that is to just come out of one ear does the way it should. The clarity is superb.
Distance is great. I walked thirty feet away from my phone and not a hiccup, no loss to quality. I didn’t walk further as I won’t leave my phone at a greater distance so this is great.
The touch controls work great, though I did not test phone calls yet and will hopefully get a chance to update my review once I have a chance to thoroughly test that, but I did get these primarily for phone calling.
After listening for a little while I noticed my ears getting sore so opted to size down on the fitment pieces. The next size down fit wonderfully and was even more comfortable. Removing the fitment piece is easy with a twist. Putting the new one on was a bit difficult, but I managed to wiggle it into place. Time will tell how long the ear pieces hold up, but they seem to be made pretty well.
Exterior sound is pretty obscure if not impossible to hear while music is playing, but if you pause it is like wearing those disposable expand to fit ear plugs.
Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase. The price is amazing for what you get, and assuming everything keeps working as it should and lasts it will be worth every penny. So glad I didn’t get the Bose buds.
If I have time I will update in the future on how battery life is. Remember, there are two aspects to battery life. How long it lasts out of the box, and how long it lasts after a few months, a year, etc.
So far very impressed. Great product guys!
Xmetal –
August 30, 2022 – things are still great and I just want to say despite getting other earbuds that do sound good such as the Soundpeats TrueAir 2’s (semi in-ear buds) and two different pair of Lavabean earbuds that while bulky (they both have GREAT battery life, hence why they are big … for the battery) that have a GREAT sound stage, but not as much “umph” to the overall sound as these T6’s (I love both … the Lavabeans and these T6’s .. dont get me wrong) with the same V-shaped EQ I always apply … overall these maybe my favorites … Sure I have a pair of higher end Earfun buds that sound great, but there is something about the overall package (sound quality, battery, price … esp on lightning deals that are far cheaper then those Earfuns) that I love about the T6’s … i go back and forth listening to different buds and when coming back to these T6’s I am blown away by the sound … there is even a good thump to the bass WHEN APPROPRIATE but it’s clean and not “over the top” to my ears.
I’d love to try (I DO have two pairs of TOZO NC2s which i love too) other TOZO models but i’d be questioning “should i just get a backup pair of T6s?” when considering the others.
Do I even have to say that I still totally recommend these at this point?
May 2, 2022 Update: things are still great … no issues that, cleaning smunges and dirt/dust off the pin/where the pins connect, doesn’t fix.
I have been using my new Jlab Go Air Pop nightly instead of these and OVERALL I think the default tips make those feel better then the T6’s … doing an “A-vs-B’ comparision wondering if the T6’s really do sound better than the Go Air Pops … YEAH… .The NC2’s sound better than the T6’s but the T6’s definitly have a more “rich” sound than the Jlab Go Air Pop’s (Jlab SIgnature EQ) I bought this past month. I already bought a pair of the T6’s when they hit a super low ($4 lower than normal) lightning sale for a gift for someone
April 1 2022 Update: after seeing the T6’s $2.50 or so cheaper than the TYPICAL lightning deal, and in no time at all “80% claimed” i bought a second pair (still not sure if a gift for someone or a backup pair for myself) but despite liking the NC2’s i STILL like the T6’s as well … I’d be interested in trying some of TOZO’s other offerings.
My only issue (and i admit i am waiting to hear back from TOZO support as i type this) is the warranty and how to register … i feel “Process a Warranty” on the site is trying to USE it not simply registering it. I am a techie guy and i have registered warranties for products such as Tribits … TOZO could just make it a little more clear on this front.
Also something i found by accident … and it makes sense that it’s work in a way … I usually use these when sleeping (they are good for sleeping though noting whatever side of my head faces the pillow DOESN’T have an earbud in it) … I had’d been swapping them when i wake up and roll over … however just using the same one in the OTHER ear works fine too.
One thing I also noticed (not sure if it’s the shape of my ears) is that the right earbud sometimes sound muffled if i use anything other than the shallow tips provided (they are more comfortable but you do lose a bit of base) … the solution is to “pinch” the right earbud to not trigger the touchpad and just pull out “a hair” .. just bairly and that clears that up .. .it doesn’t happen with default NC2 tips … just specifically the T6’s and only in my right ear with non-shallow tips when i first put them in
———————————————
Another update: The only issue i have is for a gift for someone i am trying to decide if these or say a pair of TOZO’s NC2’s would be better for them. (BOTH GREAT OPTIONS) … I have still used these mainly for my side-sleep, and only using which bud/ear is not facing the pillow to help me sleep and these have great passive NC and they are comfortable for this use too. Heck … I am not (I already picked up a second pair of the NC2’s i was so impressed, to have for myself) against picking up another pair of the T6’s (though i’d like to try some of the other models too) to have a “backup” pair of these too.
I do admit sometimes just to get the perfect fit i swap eartips (nothing that causes me pain with one pair or the other, just trying to dial things in) from time to time … but I am HIGHLY impressed with these. I do admit on Amazon and elsewhere on the internet I think I have seen the NC2s and the T6’s getting the “highest reviews’ vs some of the other TOZO models.
Update: using these regularly, including some times sleeping (where they are on for hours, just swapped in single use mode when i wake up and roll over) and to be honest …. I have only charged them twice and the last time I did, I couldn’t even remember how long it was since the first time i charge them was. it had to be almost 2 weeks and possibly a few hours (and topped off as I swap them using them for sleep music)
I still think the NC2’s sound better (maybe my favorite buds or tied with the Earfun Free Pro 2’s) .. but that is just how good the NC2’s sound …. these T6’s still sound GREAT to me and … I’d not be against picking up a backup pair of these in case the price goes up, just like I got a backup pair of NC2’s … I am IMPRESSED by TOZO … I JUST HOPE These buds last (not saying they are haviing issues …to be clear)
I am totally happy with my purchase
—————————
These Tozo T6’s are ones I picked up after seeing how highly they were rated. I have to admit I am not sure what I expected … I mean some “OMG they are the best” reviews on any products sort of make me think they are over-exaggerating, but having said that, these really have impressed me.
I am new to BT earbuds but so far I have a number of pairs of buds, including
Bluetooth Earbuds I have are TOZO NC2’s, Earfun’s Free Pro 2’s and the Earfun Free Mini’s, Fiil’s T1XS with app support, and Edifier’s TWS1 Pros.
It’s going to be too hard right now to compare the sound but I can roughly do it … the fact that I haven’t played with the TWS1 Pro’s a lot (I do love them, for the record) and say the Fiil’s I can judge the sound on, but they have an app with custom EQ settings. I also have to note I do not have any of these for calls … I just cant judge them on that front … listening to music, and watching videos (Youtube, TV shows and movies) on various devices is my main use case.
——————————————-
Thing to remember:
Remember the sound and comfort part is based on a number of things and getting the right ear tip for you, is key … too small and they (ANY earbud) may feel like they fall out easy and in some cases the base of an earbud isn’t as strong “as it should be “ .. too big and not only will you have discomfort, but in my experience the base may seem to be “too much”. The sound insulation (aka passive noise canceling) is really dependent on you getting a good seal in your ear and that means the proper tips … some of this IS trial and error to see which ones are the best for you/
——————————————————–
Presentation/Unboxing – The presentation and unboxing is not something that blows me away in most cases … if it’s one of those “small brown box with not a lot of printing on it” type boxes .. that’s cool with me. Having said that … I am IMPRESSED. The unboxing of these (AND the NC2s for that matter) shows that “the company cares” … I expected a “meh” experience at worst … but there is something about the unboxing and how everything is together that makes me feel “oh … they went above and beyond here… nice”.
——————————————–
Sound – This may not be the TOP priority (I mean if they don’t feel good, it doesn’t matter how they sound) but it’s UP THERE for me, near #1. I expected a reasonably good sound but nothing “over the top”. My expectations were more of what I have heard from the Earfun Free Mini’s … good enough and great at times… but just missing a richness (the best way I can describe it). While I have heard better, these T6’s sound a lot better than that description.
Before I go further about the sound I totally admit no matter the wired/wireless earbud/headphone I use , I usually have an EQ on … a mix between a U and a V type setting … Bass raised and Treble raised a bit but not a “sharp V” shaped EQ profile … just have to be clear on this.
The sound on these may not please a true audiophile but I AM IMPRESSED. Everything lows, mids and highs, are “right where they need to be” and even the punchy base in some rap tracks is clean sounding … the base in my testing does NOT bleed into the mids, making the things sound “muddy” as some people may have seen it described. These have a punchy base at times but it’s not over the top by any means and that is how I like it.
Another thing is that things do not sound as wide as some other headphones/earbuds I have heard but still things are not “crammed together” … things in my tests of Jazz, Classic, Rock (typically hard rock, but regular rock too) and Rap … there is room for everything to “breath” sound wise, if that makes sense. I HATE TO over-blow how great the sound is … I mean there are better more expensive options, but these T6 sound a lot better than I was expecting. I have only one other TOZO (though I’d love to try more) product in the NC2’s and I can see why so many LOVE the T6’s. I am not trying to say these are the most “wide” sounding when it comes to sound-stage but they are by no means the most “narrow” either. I like them the way they are.
—————————
Comparison/Comments about two TOZO products – These T6’s vs The NC2’s –
Before I go further since I just mentioned the TOZO NC2’s … THEY ARE an improvement to the T6s .. I love the T6’s do not get me wrong but the sound is just that much crisper and cleaner .. the base IS better on the NC2’s vs the T6’s and … I have “no issue” with the T6 sound. It’s what I love about the T6 … made better, sound wise.
If you like this form factor better over the NC2’s stem style design … may be the NC9s or NC7s would be right for you.
—————————————————————————–
PASSIVE Noise Canceling – I have to say I am IMPRESSED with the passive NC these provide with the “right earbud tips”. I mean I do have to say the NC2’s ACTIVE NC is great and I love it but, these provide far more NC passively than I was expecting .. I ALSO know what ANC in this price range is… I do not expect ANC to “cancel everything out” … even when it say comes to higher end Sony Earbuds.
The Tozo T6’s provide GREAT passive noise cancellation with no audio on, however once there is say music playing … things are just drowned out. I have a black Honeywell fan near me, that is on most of the time and when I have the T6’s in and the fan on …. when music is on, I BARELY hear the fan at all. The NC2’s ANC cancels out noise like that VERY WELL, do not get me wrong, but I am just shocked how well the T6’s work blocking noise out when they do not even have ANC.
——————————————————————————-
Comfort – OF COURSE this is all based on getting the right eartip as I have said before, but after some trials of different sized tips to at least see what the smaller or bigger ones are like …. I have what I like dialed on. I do admit it may be a bit of an issue for some to swap tips (my advise … flip the part of the tip that would be touching your ear around, so you can see the part that goes on the earbud and pull … same thing with putting the new ear tips on… so you can see what you are doing) but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy and … it DOES matter overall …. if the tips are too big they may hurt your ears so it doesn’t matter if they sound good, you will not like your earbuds then.
These are also earbuds that I have tried when going to sleep and I have NOT had any discomfort with them. I do “side-sleep” and they are no issue, though I admit in that case I use them one at a time with whatever side of my head faces down, NOT having an earbud in… I wake up and before I turn over I swap the buds… I just know my head on the pillow will trigger the touch controls and doing this method of swapping buds, I have done before with WIRED earbuds … no problem for me.
—————————————————————————-
Build Quality – I am not going to go overboard and say how TOZO uses premium quality products here, but at the same time note how the build quality is another place where TOZO REALLY impresses me .. with the T6’s they (the buds AND the case) do NOT feel cheap or like corners were cut. I am not saying the case feels “heavy” or anything but there is just a feeling that things are well made … this may be my favorite case among the group of earbuds I mention having. Not saying it’s the smallest but the hinge does not flop shut on it’s own like some others do.
—————————————————————————-
Controls – These seem decent and I have not had issues when I use them, though I have to be transparent .. I have these paired with an Android TV box, my Firestick 2nd Gen and my laptop. Even when I use them, I am not always using the touch controls.
———————————————–
Battery Life – I cant say I have had this long enough to really test this vs what is advertised but I am happy with the performance I have experience
————————————
Con – This is so picky and I don’t care to be honest but there is a voice that tells you they are connected for example .. the issue is when you put the second bud in, there will be say a “connected” over what you are listening to … I have HEARD that is annoying when on a phone call and say swapping buds.. that “connected” from the earbuds over what the other person is saying … I HESITATE to even mention this as a con. BARELY a slight annoyance to me though I admit I do not use these for phone calls… It’s just something I’d like to mention
Another thing that is picky … the earbuds when taken out of the case have to be flipped around before putting them in your ear … this seems so silly of a thing to mention but the earbud part that has the eartip faces inside of the case and the part that sticks out of your ear is on the outside … that’s all well and good but it does takes muscle memory to always remember to flip them around when taking them out of the case.
———————————
Summary
I am sure I am forgetting comments I wanted to make but, I DO RECOMMEND the Tozo T6’s, without hesitation .. only having one other TOZO product the NC2’s … I do admit they have the sound I love about the T6’s I love and have improved it. I would not hesitate to recommend either T6s or NC2’s (what many consider the two best TOZO models) to people

First pair I got was from a friend of mine and the sound quality was amazing, I love bringing these into work and listening to some metal. You can hear a lot of the base and rifts compared to other earbuds I’ve bought in the past that is marketed at this price.
Unfortunately, much like the other $20 earbuds I’ve bought from other brands, they don’t last as long as I had hoped. I figured maybe it was because they were a hand-me-down that it was just at its peek so I bought my own set myself. The case is a lot different from the one my friend gave me, same shape and design, when pairing it said T6, but the case texture was different. The one my friend had was glossy and smooth but the one I was given was matted. I decided to give it a try and instantly heard different audio quality. It was horrid, as if they were at the peek of dying out. Its not like the one that was given to me and eventually the right ear bud gave out. I checked with my friend to make sure I got the right one and sure enough he said it was so I decided to give this one more shot.
Buying the second pair it was exactly like the one my friend had gave me, case was smooth, the audio quality was much better and the battery was so much better (probably because it was brand new and not a hand-me-down). I can’t hear the loud noise when I’m on the train getting to work and back home, typically can listen to my metal roughly between 40-60% volume without blasting my ear drums. They are a bit touch sensitive when trying to sleep with them. Sadly they only lasted 8 months before the right ear bud just stop working. I can’t charge the thing anymore. I checked to see if maybe it was the case but both sides will charge my left ear bud fine but no matter if I charge the right ear bud on the left or right side it just won’t charge (and yes I did make sure the case was fully charged before trying to charge the ear bud.)
Overall, great audio quality, fits well in my ear, last long, battery life for the ear buds are good but the buds only last about 8 months I wish the quality was a little more consistent and lasted more longer then 8 months but considering the price and how often these things go on sale I’d rebuy these until I got an upgrade. It does mention its water proof but I haven’t really tested that theory, but I can say they are sweat proof for sure.

These earbuds have been great so far. I have had them a few months now and I use them everyday. The sound is very clear. And they fit in my ears very well. They are comfortable and fit well.
So far what I like best is that they are nice and loud. I listen to metal music, and i’m able to enjoy every song I play. The outside noise cancelation while listening to something is great. You could almost use them as ear plugs.
I would say that they are best for listening to music and books. But they work well for listening to movies also.
They do work well for phone calls. Your vioce is very clear to the person you’re talking to. But they don’t have greatest outside noise cancelation capabilities for the other person while on the phone. They can hear some of the background noise of the area your in . But I don’t really need to talk that loud either for them to pick up my voice.
However. They are good for drowning out background noise on the phone while driving. The person you’re talking to doesn’t hear anything but your voice. It cuts out the highway noise while in the car.
They are even comfortable enough to sleep in. I have put them in my ears at night and have fallen asleep with them in. There was a slight bit of uncomfortable feeling in the morning because i’ve had ear buds in my ears all night. But they weren’t uncomfortable enough to take out right away. And they even still had enough power left in the batteries to last until lunch break the next day.
But I can usually put them in the morning. And they can almost last throughout my work day. I get up about 6:30am and I get off of work at 5pm. So they hold a good charge for a long time.
Even the base holds enough charge to last. I only need to charge the buds maybe twice a week. Because I use the ear buds quite a lot actually. But it’s nice to know that they can last quite awhile. But when the case needs a charge. It does take some time. But be patient. It’s worth it.
I would not recommend wearing earbuds in the shower. My only negative about these buds is the very light tap that it takes to operate them. They are quite sensitive and it doesn’t take much for them to activate something when lightly tapped. Even with the suds of your shampoo going over your ears. Do not wear them in the shower. I have had buds go bad from shower use. And the risk of them falling out into the shower water cam damage them. It has happened to me. Even ones that say they are water proof.
These are very good working your buds and i’m happy to have them.

Update 7/28/20: I use these approximately 8 hrs per day, between two pair, to provide telehealth. I’d give 4 stars if I hadn’t had to file two warranty claims within 6 months.
BATTERY LIFE: The buds last at most 4 hrs per charge.
SOUND QUALITY: The sound quality is great for EDM, a little heavy on the lows for conversation–my hearing accommodated it after a few weeks.
BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY: The firs buds were replaced under warranty after update from iOS 12.6 to 13.1 due to instability. Unfortunately, the second pair was only half as inconsistent, but for the price, I wasn’t too surprised. They seem more stable with iOS 13.5+, but still drop signal. Fortunately, they reconnect pretty quickly.
BATTERY PACK: I’ve used both pairs each day, M-Th, for the previous three months (since COVID started in US). Both battery packs died within days of one another (one battery pack lasted 6 months the other 3 months). I contacted Support for a warranty repair. They agreed to send a replacement battery pack (which will make for some interesting swapping, but a small price to pay).
STYLE: I really like the low profile.
FIT: I’ve tried a few other brands, these fit the most comfortable–my ears are picky, one side is slightly larger than the other.
FUTURE PURCHASE: If I were shopping for a new pair, I’d definitely consider the bluetooth 5.0 version with the battery pack that indicates charge level; or for a voice to come on to say the charge level after the buds are connected to my phone. If I were a standard user who only used these for occasional use for walks and casual use, then these would probably have lasted a lot longer.
WARRANTY: The ease of a warranty claim is a huge plus, though I would rather have a pair that lasted the full warranty.
PAST UPDATES:
Update: 7/16/20. The battery life is unfortunate. After using two pair for the past three months (at approx. 4 hours of use they need recharge) Monday thru Thursday both units battery packs are dead. Luckily one still flashes a single white LED, the other is at best a storage case. I was fortunate enough to obtain a second pair through warranty after the first randomly lost connection with my iPhone X after update to iOS 13.1. Sadly, the second pair had issues as well. Though, with 13.5+ it seems to be much better–less intermittent, but still drops a few times during each charge.
Update 6/25/20. After a few months of operation and tolerating the intermittent “link loss” I learned that the batteries last about 5 hours after charging all night long. They are a bit bass heavy, which can make calls a little challenging sometimes. But, for the price they are reasonable.
Update 4/27/20. I received the replacement buds on 4/24/20; the rep said it would take 2-3 weeks, but significantly less, and during the COVID crisis. I have worn them enough to drain the battery pack and have not had a single occurrence of a dropped signal (I really like that I can wander through my house without the sound cracking–my Bose can’t even do that). I’d rate these at 4 stars, only leaving it at 3 for others who are prudent.
Update: 4/14/20. I received word from TOZO that they will send a new pair of earbuds because, as odd as it may sound, I do not know anyone with an Android (thus unable to update the T6 to work with iOS 13+). The email stated that the buds will arrive in 2-3 weeks, which will be wonderful, but seemingly after writing an honest review (which I had done before contacting them and after initial purchase, below). I have not check to see if they made the manual available on the Support page of their website, an issue noted on 4/9/20. Once the new pair arrive, I’d give the review 4 stars, if the next generation of T6 or others are updated through the case and the power versus volume were improved (tends toward volume, not power), and the customer service is 3-4 stars (replacement shouldn’t be based upon review, that is unethical in professional fields); in responsiveness and understanding, I’d give a 5, but would need to give a reduction for the website lacking information and review requirement. The product itself is a good 4.5-5 depending on whether you like heavier bass or not. The cost for what you get, all aside, still makes these a good investment.
Update 4/9/20. These guys literally posted on their website that they have proven an issue with iOS 13+ and to fix it you need an Android to flash the buds; are you for effing real? Apparently they failed to engineer a device that can be updated while in the case and plugged into a computer or via usb to a phone or tablet. (So, if Android updates, guess what you’re going to need!) I feel sorry for all those who tried to problem solve the issue since the only means to contact Support is via email. (That means a day or two lag minimum for each email exchange.) The known problem is that the headset intermittently drops signal, sometimes to recover, other times not.
Also, when they updated their website with the information to fix the issue with iOS, they somehow seemed to either take down or didn’t have the user manual posted, and none of the product pictures capture all of the tap sequences to control the buds. So, if you can’t find the user manual that came with it, you’re totally SOL.
The greatest challenge I have is turning them off. The buds tend to become confused between turning them off or increasing or decreasing volume. It’s almost better to either turn off bluetooth on my phone or put them in the case.
Original post, Dec 2019: A bit heavy on lower frequencies, the crossover a little too much. It’s taken a little bit of time to get used to the difference between the voices known in life and on the phone versus earbuds. They are a great pair to have for those who like more bass–great for EDM! Overall, great bang for the buck since this is an EDM household.

This is my 5th purchase of these. I have bought them for my family, friends & I’ve even recommended them to people across the web & youtube. I make/edit youtube videos & these sound and work perfectly for that. I loved these earbuds after first purchasing them a few years ago. I am able to run my dog on his leash & jog around without worrying they’ll fall out. I prefer these over the airpods, higher priced ones & just other headphones in general. I’ve tried a different model of Tozos ( the T9 model) & they were perfectly fine, but I prefer these T6 ones. I’ll tell you why. 😆 I am guilty of watching Youtube in bed & yes, I do fall asleep with these in my ears/ear. I don’t necessarily recommend this “technique” but these are comfortable enough to sleep in, or sleep ON in my case. 😆 I lay down with one earbud in my right ear & I leave the other side out of my ear in the charging case. That way if someone in my family needs me throughout the night I can still hear out of the ear that doesn’t have the earbud in cause they do cancel outer noise very well. Yes, I do lay with my head & ear down on the pillow with the earbud in that ear & can still watch youtube or a movie comfortably. I frequently fall asleep with the earbud in and sleep through the night fine, or if I wake up a little later I just take it out & go back to sleep. That’s how comfortable these T6 Tozos are. The only reason I didn’t care as much for the other model was that I couldn’t lay comfortably with one in my ear like I do with these. But I just wanted to try the others as they were on sale at the time. Other than the laying down with them in/one in, the others were perfect too. The battery life is long. I can use them sometimes up to 8 hours before a charge is needed. The charging case also holds a charge long & charges the earbuds quickly. Charging the case itself with a micro USB from zero takes about 45 minutes, but after the case is charged I’ve had it power my earbuds up continuously from 4 to 5 days. The earbuds themselves take a small amount of time to charge in the case. Sometimes if one of my buds is almost out of battery, like when I fall asleep using one through the night & the other has more charge left, I will charge one at a time in the case & just use the full one for the time being. The only thing I would change is the type of charger the case takes to charge up. I prefer the C chargers, but it’s not really a big deal. Micro USB is what it uses, but they also can be charged with a wireless charger. The earbuds are easy to operate & setup. The case is small & easy to take anywhere. The buds arr magnetic & easy to put in the case. There’s even cute silicone & hard protective charging case covers for these like airpods have too. Touch controls make it easy to pause videos with a tap to the outer earbud. To resume & play the video just tap again. There’s some other cool touch features too, but you can read about those & try them out when you buy these! 😉 Yeah, just buy them already. 😆

Skip down ~2 paragraphs to get to the review. The first two paragraphs are information about how I conduct my torture tests to determine quality. To ensure fairness and that it isn’t the equipment I’m connected to I’m comparing these to the first pair I received to the second as well as a couple of other earbuds and my Sennheiser headphones. I do not expect these to sound as fabulous as my $130 headphones and neither should you.
I’ll start this review by providing information. This is an updated review after having written my original review. I was contacted after my initial review by the company stating that I may have received a defective model and was offered a replacement model at no cost. I have received them and have gone through several rounds of headphone torture tests. While I do not have the equipment to conduct serious tortures nor access to such equipment, namely graphing features and an oscilloscope in order to find out exactly what wave shapes are being produced, I’d like to think that my tests are at least semi valid.
I’m conducting my torture with straight rips from CD as well as streaming services. I also use audiocheck.net tests to determine everything that I can’t with just straight listening to music. I use both live and studio versions where available. Here are the songs that I have tortured with. I’ll include notes as well. Keep in mind that I am cross dominant (left handed, left eye, right ear, right foot) so sounds tend to be a little different for me and sounds that I hear that are supposed to be directly in the middle of my head tend to sound stronger on the right channel.
REVIEW!!!!!!
Outside of quality, which actually did improve with this set,
The bass on these earphones is great. The ability to switch at low frequencies and to be able to determine the moment of the switch is well done. Here’s where I get an issue with the bass. On higher quality headphones, you should never hear a whine (unless they’ve been poorly built, just beat to death, or used for quite some time completely unlike what I do here). These headphones produce a buzz when you use the audiocheck “Quality test” which is designed to beat your drivers enough that they shake quite a lot. I don’t fault the makers of these for the buzzing because they are bluetooth earbuds, but I still shouldn’t hear the whining of the drivers begging me to stop the bass test.
The mids still aren’t top notch even with the replacement set, but they are certainly better than the previous pair.
The highs are fairly well defined, but can muddle at the very top of the range that humans can hear (I have excellent hearing and it’s been determined that I can hear up to 18,000 hz down to 22 hz). When sounds reach that level, that’s pretty rough on headphones and these do pretty well. Do not discount these headphones because of the fact that they muddle at the very top of the human hearing range or right at the bottom, that’s tough to deal with.
Overall the replacement pair is far better than the defective model that I originally received. Excellent quality for the price point. They still do not compare to some of the higher quality headsets that I own, but for earbuds they are top notch.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
This section is all about what I use to test headphones.
Before I start the list here is my grading scale for bass
Fail = Poor quality, extreme difficulty switching between frequencies.
Fail+ = Poor quality or difficulty switching between frequencies with the other being good or great
Pass = Great quality at single tone, difficulty with switching between frequencies. IF single tone, great quality.
Pass+ = Great quality, great switching between higher and lower pitch bass sounds
Bass quality determination
Paper Trails – Darkside (Pass)
Magma – Yello (Pass+)
Pure 30 hz Sine Wave – Binaural Beats Isochronic Tones Lab (should shake loose any earwax buildup. Pass)
It’s a Long Way to the Top – AC/DC (Pass+ They are fully capable of handling the droning bagpipe with the bass guitar. Absolutely passes with this).
Falling – Olive (Pass+ The song is awful, but the bass at the beginning does not disappear like it would on low quality headsets)
In this section I’m going on how much trouble I have picking out separate instruments. I should be able to pick out the majority of instruments. If I have trouble then it is a fail. If not, pass.
Instrument clarity across all levels (this is unfortunately full of “Your call is very important” hold music)
Giant steps – John Coltrane (Pass)
Milestones – Miles Davis (Pass)
Stella By Starlight – Miles Davis (Pass)
Rotation – Herb Alpert (Pass)
Flight of the Cosmic Hippo – Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (Pass)
King of Swing (live and studio version) – Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Pass)
If there’s muddled sounds and it sounds like things blend together too much then it’s a fail. I’m not trying to pick out first and second chair on an instrument but I should be able to pick out separate instruments.
Mid range test (Clarity is extremely important here).
King of Swing (live and studio version) – Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (This is a pass, but it’s not an orchestra. 7 piece band though)
The Imitation Game – London Symphony Orchestra (Mostly passes. Some trouble picking out strings.)
Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major….. – London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) (Pass)
Flute Concerto No. 2 in D Major – LPO (Pass)
I used a single album for determining whether or not things sound like they are too close together and boxed in. I used Pink Floyd’s Pompeii concert. This single bit has determined both through the remix and the original (which you can stream or if you’re electronically inclined can probably hook up a bluetooth module to a TV with a built in VHS player) that the ability to not sound boxed in is a Pass+. Excellent job on managing to do this at this price point, this isn’t something that is exactly easy to do especially over bluetooth or again at this price.
