NC9 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, 60H, LED Display

Stop scrolling! If you're looking for new earbuds and are on the fence about these, put them in your cart and select buy now! I bought these to replace my TOZO mini A1a that I misplaced and ultimately found after these arrived. I've had several different pairs of bluetooth and corded earbuds and I found that the A1s were superb- and just as good, if not better than the others I've used, and for $12! what a steal! I had the A1s for 3 years. They were small and fit well in my ears, and I could run and work out, without feeling like they were going to fall out. My only complaint I had with them was the battery life- I'd get 10-12 hours out of them and have to recharge them. They didn't have a charging case, so that meant plugging them into a type c cord to charge and I'd forget to grab them when I went to the gym or left for work. I always keep a spare corded set in my bag and that comes with its own set of problems. I knew I wanted my next set to have a charging case, but I couldn't bring myself to buy new ones when the current ones work great. Yep I am a cheap bas*ard. So fast forward and I am working in the yard with my eaebuds in and I took them out and set them on a table, then it started to rain and we picked up everything and POOF- they went to wherever socks go in the dryer. So I decided to buy a new set and started to research earbuds and saw the NC9s. I read the reviews and they were okay, but for $26, I could take a gamble. I got them and man they are fantastic! The good: -They fit really well into the ear and are only slightly larger than the A1s. -I charged them and so far have 4 6-8 hour days without having to recharge the charging case. The earbuds themselves recharge quickly. -There is a digital readout on the case to show you the battery charge and the earbud charge. -They paired easily with my Galaxy S24. -The noise canceling and ambient sound function is great. With a tap of the left ear, you can switch between the two. I have tinnitus and a little hearing loss and I think I hear better when I use them in ambient mode. They have an app with the ability to adjust the EQ to a level you like. Bad: I haven't really seen bad overall but the earbuds themselves are slightly larger and heavier than the A1s and it takes some getting used to. -The case is about 33% larger than the A1 case and I could see it being lost easily. The ugly: I haven't seen anything yet. Some reviews said the battery life doesn't last more than a year. Well for the price, you can buy one set a year for three years in what you'd spend on a name brand pair. Overall: I highly recommend them.

I owned a previous version of the NC9's from 2022 that were a bit different than these, and as often happens with these little earbuds in a small charging case, I recently lost them somewhere, probably in my last hotel room. Beware of spending too much on earbuds - you absolutely will go through multiple sets of them. I was really happy with those earbuds for the price I paid at the time, which was a little over $10. So I figured rather than trying to wade through all the nonsensical marketing-speak on Amazon or the ridiculously overpriced offerings from Apple and other major brands, I'd just get the latest version of the same thing I had. And so far, these are pretty great for the price and a definite upgrade over the 2022 version. Now, I will say that while I'm not an audiophile, I could probably call myself an "audio enthusiast" and I don't think any earbuds from anybody sound all that great either on their own or when compared with decent full size headphones. That's one reason why I refuse to pay anything close to the $200 that's the standard price for major brand earbuds. These are tiny drivers using a low-powered DAC chip and DSP, getting a lossily compressed audio signal over a low-bandwidth wireless codec. It's just the nature of the beast. No earbuds anywhere are worth more than about 50 bucks, and that's with the profit baked in. Anything above that is just a name brand tax. (And these days, maybe a tariff.) But these sound perfectly fine for what they are and basically as good as any other wireless earbuds I've ever used. I did notice some sibilance with the default EQ - like most (all?) modern wireless earbuds, these accentuate bass and treble. But a quick adjustment to the high frequencies in the phone app (something that my older NC9's didn't support) seems to have cured that. There is of course still a bit of extra bass, but I'll leave that alone for now as I don't mind it. I can always adjust it later if I feel differently down the road. One minor quibble with the sound is that possibly because of that extra bass and treble, these don't get very loud. At maximum volume, they're about where I normally feel comfortable in regular listening, but they start to break up a bit before that. My guess is that Tozo has reduced the maximum output to control distortion, which isn't unique to them, but again, don't expect a high-end over the ear headphone experience here for 30 bucks. You just can't listen very loud with a lot of bass through tiny drivers like these without distortion. I don't think most people wearing earbuds listen as loud as I normally like to anyway. If this so far sounds like faint praise in a 5 star review, again, look at the price. You are getting a good value in sound quality, especially when you compare these to much more expensive earbuds that don't sound any better. If Apple were selling these and charging Airpod Pro prices, you'd be looking at a 2 star review. But these are priced fairly given their performance and the limitations of the category. Tozo also sells earbuds without the active noise cancellation but I bought these specifically for that, because it worked well on my previous NC9's and it seems to work at least as well and probably better on these. Keep in mind that noise cancellation in general was specifically developed to counter engine noise on airplanes. And that's still what the technology is best at. The way it works is by pushing out a specific frequency to act counter to the frequency of whatever continuous noise is present. It's not going to be very effective at silencing things like conversations or crying babies that are made up of variable, higher frequency sounds (because countering those would also affect the music you're listening to, not to mention using a lot more processing power, which also uses a lot more battery). That, again, is the nature of the beast. It applies to every set of earbuds that have ANC. But in terms of continuous background noise, such as from a jet engine or a loud fan, these work as well as anything else I've used. And I've used a lot of headphones and earbuds (as well as real aviation headsets) with active noise cancellation. The ANC also does not really alter the sound of the music you're listening to, which my older NC9's kinda did with the ANC on, and it's a pretty common issue with older devices that use ANC. Seems like it's more refined now and I don't really notice much difference, if any, in sound quality with ANC on or off. There was a time only a few years ago when you'd need to spend a few hundred bucks to get ANC at all, and that would have been in a set of wired full size headphones. Now we're talking about how well it works in a $30 set of wireless earbuds. It's kind of amazing if you think about it. I think real ANC alone is basically worth the price of admission here. There are a lot of earbuds in this price range that advertise "ENC" but that is not the same thing - that's for reducing noise on your voice when talking on phone calls. ANC is for listening to music. It's rare at this price, even now. For it to work this well is a huge bonus. Battery life is a definite step up from my older NC9's, although to be fair those were probably also just wearing out by the time I lost them. I intentionally tried to run these down while writing this review and after about 5 hours of constant listening, they were still going strong and when I put them in the charging case, it read 83%. Of course that's the total charge including the case battery, not the buds themselves. I have no idea how accurate that is but if it is correct, then that's probably more battery life than I would ever really need. (You can never have too much, but I can't think of a situation when I'd run out of battery life before being able to recharge.) I read another review where someone said the case on these did not close securely; that is not true. I'd think he must have been using a different version (the reviews here seem to cover all previous versions as well), but I had older ones and that case closed securely too. It's magnetic. The earbuds kind of pull themselves into their little cubbies if you've oriented them the right way, and then the case cover snaps closed with its own magnet. If the case is not closing properly, you're not putting the buds in the right way. They only go one way. You'll get it after a couple tries. Just take note of how they're oriented when you first open the case. Overall I can pretty confidently recommend these. Given that modern phones and many other devices no longer even have headphone jacks, you really need a set of wireless earbuds. Just get these; they're as good as more expensive earbuds and the price is fair. You can't say that about most name brand earbuds.

I bought these because my old headphones got lost. I had the TOZO t12 before these. I like that they show both the earbud state of charge and the case state of charge - but so did my old ones. These show it on a small display on the front but you need to open the case for the display to show. The other ones I had you needed to open the case to see(because the display was inside the case) and remove at least one earbud to see the states of charge. They were great, but these are smaller and so is the case, so they fit better in my pocket. There about the size of an AirPod case, and weight basically nothing. As far as sound they’re honestly about the same, there are marginally better if I had to say. Battery is not bad, I can go all day wearing them and the battery doesn’t run out, but the case can recharge them In about half an hour if you need them to recharge. Personally tho, I almost always only wear one, so they last even longer - I’ve gone about a week or so then had to charge them. They paired right up to my phone super easy, didn’t even need to find the pairing mode. They just connected to my iPhone within seconds with no issues. Volume is very good, can be a bit too loud if you go to max, so I generally keep it around 2/3 at most. I’m continuously losing them or misplacing my earbuds, so I refuse to buy really good expensive ones, just in case I lose them. At this price I can lose them and replace them once a year and still spend less than one set of AirPods or beats or whatever, if I bought one and they last me 3 years. PS: of course, the day after i received these new ones, I found my old ones 🤦‍♂️ Update: I found today, sign the TOZO app the nc9 earbuds have several modes of active noise cancelling, and tons of EQ settings thru the TOZO app. You can also edit the function of tapping them(only when used as a pair tho). You can set what 1, 2, 3 taps and/or hold do with each earbud, ie pause/play, skip, volume, start/end call etc. And they even have a version of find my earbud. It makes the earbuds beep kinda like an AirTag. But only works if the earbuds are out of the case “in use”, not if they’re “docked” and you lost the case. Also it won’t give tracking, only makes them beep. For like if you drop them or something and can’t physically see them, you can use the sound to help locate them. They are earbuds, so it’s not super loud, but it’s helpful. EDIT: it’s been ~1.5months later. The headphones are still working perfectly and I like how the case is smaller than my old headphones, they sound a little better and have some added features. Overall they’ve been great, Xept one thing. Somehow the case has changed from normal Arabic numbers to display the charge state, to some type of hieroglyphs. I can’t tell how it’s happened, but it looks the display has come loose and gone crooked. The still work perfectly, but just an fyi.

At first, I really wasn't sure what to expect for the cost of these buds when I bought them. They shipped quickly, arrived as promised, and came fully charged - though I still ran them through the recommending charging protocol. I bought these because I wanted buds that had a long lasting battery (10+ hour single charge even w/ ANC on) and something that was more comfortable & waterproof than headphones in many circumstances. The packaging was very good, with the charging/storage case, charging cable, additional earbud tips, and documentation. First, the battery life: HOLY LONG-LIVED LISTENING APPLICATION, BATMAN! With ANC off, I have steadily gotten the advertised 14+ hour battery life. If I keep the volume down around 27%, it'll go even longer. With the ANC on, I made it over the advertised 10+ with no issues. The case will recharge the buds a couple of full times, or a bunch of little times if you're like me. The outside view of the charging situation on the case is really quite nice. The fit of these earbuds is great. The included tip selection should take care of most anybody, and the preinstalled tips worked perfectly. This means the preinstalled tips must be a little on the smaller side, as I typically use small tips and earplugs. The buds sit comfortably in my ears without much adjusting, the weight is not very noticeable at all, and thus far I've not had them fall out a single time. I've worn them traveling, doing yardwork, and even sleeping. That's way better than any pair of buds I've previously had. I have dropped them a couple of times with no issues, but only on soft flooring. The storage/charging case also seems durable and built well to house the buds. It recharges the buds quite well, and the wireless charging is a plus. The touch controls on the buds are pretty easy to use in my opinion. I don't find myself accidentally touching them, but then I'm always careful to grip the buds around the outer edge with my fingertips, instead of trying to use the flat surface where the touch sensor is. You can adjust the touch controls via the TOZO app, along with the equalizer, noise control modes, etc. I find this to be really nice functionality to have. If you find the Android built-in Volume slider to be a little lacking in helping move the TOZO NC9 through their different volume levels, just use the Precise Volume app from the Play Store to assist with more granularity. I've found the volume and sound quality of the TOZO NC9's to be fully acceptable. They can get pretty darn loud, louder than I'd listen to them. There are so many EQ settings, I've been able to make any media I've listened to sound very enjoyable. You can customize all the EQ stuff, and there are community-built ones. The Noise Cancellation is good for what they are. I'd put them right up there with much higher dollar buds (easily the $150+ range), as they far outperform my Motorola Buds with ANC. The sound cancellation reduces more outside noise than my SleepDeep ear plugs do, without any media even playing. They're a little less capable with ANC than my Soundcore headphones, but I expect that completely due to the ergonomic differences. I've had a plethora of wired buds and "around the neck" bluetooth buds in the past. For truly wireless, I've had Soundore buds, Motorola buds, and a pair of Soundcore headphones. These TOZO NC9s are so nice for the price of them, they've replaced everything else I have except some specific use cases for the Soundcore headphones. As long as they last, I don't anticipate having to purchase anything else for a long, long time. I recommend them heartily, but will change my review if anything changes.

Excellent. Too bad I wasted money on name brand versions that never fit my ears well or needed to be charged after 4 or 5 hours. I have two pairs of these now. My first pair still works as well as they did when new. I've owned them for almost a year. Bought a new set just because I liked the color. It matches my phone. These absolutely exceeded expectations considering the price for them. The fit is amazing. Unless I'm eating or talking for extended periods of time, there is no issues with them staying in place. Secondly, and just as important is the length of time between charging. These last approximately 8-10 hours before the battery is completely drained. The noise cancelling is amazing. It's better than certain name brand versions. I can not say enough good things about these. There is even an app that is surprisingly functional. You can customize the sound and function pretty much any way you choose.

I purchased these earbuds to replace my old Apple AirPods Pro 2’s and Sony WF-1000XM3’s that I used for the past several years. I’ve had these TOZO earbuds for about a month now and so far they’ve well exceeded my expectations. Pros: The audio quality and noise cancelling abilities are far superior to both of my previous earbuds, which are admittedly a few years older and it seems ANC technology is just getting cheaper and better. The earbuds fit perfectly for my ears and are much smaller which makes them feel more comfortable and discrete than my previous earbuds. The companion mobile app offers a lot of control and even has AI translation features where you can speak to someone in different languages while each person wears an earbud and it will translate in the other person’s selected language to each other. Idk if that’s standard these days but it was a fun discovery that there are more interesting capabilities in the app. Cons: The build quality is noticeably inferior to my other earbuds. This was expected but the charging case in particular feels like cheap plastic compared to the metallic or more durable plastic construction on my old Sony’s and AirPod’s. I have dropped it once on a hardwood floor and it survived fine, but it feels less durable than other earbud cases which are already notorious for breaking easily. Bluetooth connectivity between multiple devices. I mainly use the earbuds with my iPhone and iPad and go back and forth between them. The AirPods were always seamless with this and even the Sony’s just had you go into the Bluetooth settings on the device you wanted to pair and select them. With these TOZO’s, there is an extra step if I still have both devices nearby. I have to manually disconnect the old device from Bluetooth first before I can pair the other one. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed later because it is a little annoying to have an extra step in these situations. Overall, even with the cons, these are still 5-star worthy for me at this price point which is literally a fraction of the cost from big brand alternatives. I would happily recommend these to anyone looking for inexpensive earbud options, especially at the sale prices. Even if I just get a year out of these earbuds, I think that’s well worth it to save money and just look at replacing with a similar pair down the road vs paying 5-10x more for earbuds that might last just a few years more if you’re lucky.

This update is after I did get the updated 2024 version of the NC9s I really hate to act like I hate these original NC9s ... they are just not for me and I just dropped them off for a return. They are (the buds themselves not the eartip part) too big but the sound is good/"pretty darn good" ... the build quality is great ... I THINK they have app support but i couldn't get them to work (if they dont have app support then it is my mistake here). Overall they are ok/decent earbuds ... the ANC is not that bad though because of the bigger bud size i wasn't getting the best seal. WITHOUT going into a review of the 2024 Upgraded NC9... I think they are better. App support works great (again maybe these never did have app support ... like the original TOZO T6s), the ANC not only woks better but trying different modes i tried the "leisure mode" and that is the strongest ANC i have heard in any budget earbud I have ... I THINK on that setting its even better than what I REMEMBER of the TOZO NC2s which I loved the ANC on. Also TOZO even on their non-ANC buds .. like the T6s (whichever model/version) provide REALLY GOOD passive NC in my view.. The one thing I am not sure (minus the EQ in the TOZO app) I cant say is better in the 2024 model is the sound ... HOWEVER that is not saying these original NC9s are better ... just both sound great out of the box and I did not notice the overall sound quality to be better .. .they are great on both versions of the NC9s oh yeah .. I forgot .. the new ones are smaller and fit better .. more along the line of any other TOZO earbud I have. TOZO really does listen to feedback it seems, and I love that about TOZO. -------- Original Review: I have to admit before starting this review that It is not going to be as comprehensive as others, but I wanted to share my view on the original (that I know of) TOZO NC9’s. I have already started a return for these, and while I am unsure if its a good idea .. I did (for the same exact price counting the coupon box) order the UPGRADED NC9s. I am a TOZO fan though I will not claim any of their products are “perfect”. I have T6s (more than one pair), A3s, NC2s (again more than one), the TOZO Tonal Fits, as well as one of their PE1 speakers. I’d say TOZO is one of my go-to brands, but I did notice a few things with my limited time with these NC9s already. The Fit. While I am not going to go overboard here, these are a bit bigger than expected (I do hear the upgraded ones are a tad smaller) … like my Lavabeans which are no longer listed on Amazon seem big but they are big in the sense of sticking out of my ears, but not “too large’ say in diameter of the actual buds. The diameter of these NC9s maybe the biggest I ever tried and they are just not as comfortable as other buds. I have tried basically the T6 “classics” (model from years ago) and the new style and EITHER of those feel uncomfortable. In a way these don’t either but they are just too big. The Sound Ignoring other issues I have had the sound out of the box with no EQ tweaks (which I can not do … foreshadowing) … is pretty damn good. I wish I could tweak it and if I did I’d just maybe pump up the mid-highs and highs a pinch … maybe leaving the bass alone OR raising that a pinch too, but really good balance and yes I cant get the fit (see above why) just right but overall I like the tuning. I admit most buds that I buy (that I do my homework on before buying) sound good but some just sound off .. like different frequencies are too low, and others are too high… making what I am listening to .. without tweaks, sound way off. The Sound even without tweaks is not the issue. App: Here is a big one … This is suppose to have EQ support which to me (like on the product page) means TOZO App support but despite trying with two different phones .. the NC9s pair fine and fast to both phones but even with the most updated TOZO app, the app on either phone cant detect the buds … I know some (say the first gen of A3s I have do not have app support) versions of different models have support and others don’t but I cant get these to work. ANC One reason I am even considering canceling my order for the UPGRADED 2024 model of NC9s is the ANC. Listen … I have my expectations low … I mean these are not BOSE or Sony level ANC. But these reminded me of the NC7s I returned (due to tech reasons) … I just wasn’t impressed. Even after the NC7s, I went back to test the ANC in the TOZO NC2s and with them (The NC2s) I was ‘oh yeah … much better” .. I CANT remember if the NC2s have an anbient/transparency mode but the ANC is better. Also no matter (Classic or new Ergonomic edition) which edition it is … with the default eartips feeling great … I feel the TOZO T6s block out more noise even when nothing is playing, then the experience I had with the NC7s or NC9s … I am hoping the upgraded NC9’s that have different ANC levels in the app may do better. Update: I actually just remembered that the NC2s DO have transparency mode and I remember feeling when out for a walk that the NC7’s Trans. Mode DID feel more refined .. Like it felt more natural and I wasn’t hearing things further away sounding “really close”…credit to the NC7s for that. I know I am returning these original NC9s so I will not be trying them anymore (less wear and tear on them IMHO) otherwise I would try them on a walk and comment on the transparency mode. -------------- Summary Really I cant say “Avoid these” … if you know about the size being big and the (from my experience) app support that I have NOT had issues with, concerning ANY other TOZO products with advertised app support …. and are willing to try them … these aren’t bad but they are not my favorite TOZOs. I think part of my disappointment is that YES I ADMIT I got these by mistake, meaning to get the new upgraded NC9s for the same price … I just don’t see a huge improvement in these versus some of the cheaper TOZO options like the T6s. Out of (minus my battery tech issues that caused me to send the NC7s back) … IN MY EXPERIENCE with the original NC2s, NC7s and NC9s .. the NC2s are 100% my favorite so far. The sound on the NC2s WERE better in my view then the NC7s but …. I think these buds minus other issues, SOUND WISE are on part with the NC2s. I just think bang for buck, TOZO itself (ignoring other great brands like Earfun and Tribit for instance) has better offerings. I will be posting my 2024 TOZO NC9 reviews and when I have them .. .we will see if TOZO has done what they have before and listened to feedback and improved the NC9s … Credit to TOZO for really doing that in the past.

I bought these TOZO NC9 earbuds to use as my daily drivers for block-out focus time and daily tasks. For the price, they punch way above their weight—especially when it comes to active noise cancellation (ANC)—though they do have one minor design quirk. The Pros: ​Strong Battery Life: I consistently get around 8 hours of playback on a single charge, and the compact charging case keeps them powered for days. ​Comfort & Seal: They come with a great selection of ear tip sizes. Getting a tight seal is easy, which makes a huge difference for both physical security and bass response. ​Fast Pairing: Bluetooth connection is instant the moment I pull them out of the case. ​The Cons: ​Sensitive Touch Controls: The outer touch sensors are extremely sensitive. I regularly pause my tracks or trigger the voice assistant just by adjusting the buds in my ears. ​Microphone in Windy Conditions: While call quality is great indoors, the microphone struggles a bit to filter out background wind noise when taking calls outside.

Got the red one! Really love the color. Owned a tozo t6 from 2021, still working but used as a backup earbuds now. Sound is great, noticeably better than t6. Felt a little flat for me but overall enjoyable. I like that how details in a soundtrack is clear and the bass is amazing!

A good buy here!! Very pretty earbuds!!

La relación calidad precio es muy buena. El sonido es claro, con una ligera coloración en grabes, pero agradable. El sistema de cancelación de ruido es eficaz, teniendo en cuenta que estos sistemas reducen el ruido un porcentaje bastante alto sobre el total. También dispone de un modo transparente que permite una ventana de ruido entre las frecuencias medias en las que están situadas las de la voz humana. Este sistema cumple su cometido perfectamente. La duración de la batería, escuchando música (no lo he empleado para hablar a través del teléfono) es de varios días, usándolo unas 4 horas al día. La latencia es baja, inapreciable al escuchar música desde cualquier reproductor. No los he probado para monitorear cuando toco el piano. Creo que es un buen producto para el precio que tiene.
