I had been searching for a decent pair of wireless waterproof earbuds where the battery would play music for at least 4 hours on a full charge. I wasn't going to even consider any pair fitting my needs priced below $40, until my daughter told me about these, saying she really loved them and used them until she lost one of them after only a few weeks of use. So I bought them, and have all positive things to say about them, except for one thing. Here goes:
PRO's:
– They come with 4 pair of different sized rubber fitting tips
– Using the pre-installled earbud tips, I was shocked in surprise that all it took was one quick finger press and they fit snugly and better than any other pair I have ever worn. As opposed to having to fiddle with them, twist and turn with a bit of force to make them stay in position. Not these – perfect instant snug fit that stays in place!
– near continuous run time playing music or listening to audio books is at least 4 hours! Are you kidding me? For under $15, having 4-5+ hours battery time? Awesome!
– When you need to keep using them but a battery dies – This is awesome – One side will always run out of battery before the other. When it does, or better, when it gives the 1st of 3 warning beeps that it is getting low, immediately take it out of your ear and put it in the charge case. OMG. It will charge to 80-90% in 20 mins or so! This means, when one starts to die, put it in the charge case, still listening to the other one. When that dies, even if it's 10 or 20 minutes later, put that one in the charge case, and start listening to the other one that you just put in the charge case a few minutes ago. You will find that it will run long enough for the one you just put in the case to charge to get to a full charge! Doing this, you will always be listening to at least one, but after a couple of times swapping them in/out of the charge case, they charge so fast that you will be back listening to BOTH again for another 1-2 hours, as the charge case if fully charged overnight will charge both earbuds at least 2-3 times. This is amazing – I've had to do this trick of using one while charging the other, but never do they charge fast enough to soon be using both again the same day because of such fast charge times compared to long run times. $15!!! This is an exceptional product and rare to have so many great features for pretty much a cost that makes them disposable but they are anything but!!
– Sound quality! OMG! Really nice deep base response, and nothing missing throughout the mids and highs either!
– The phone app makes it easy to pick from a huge repository of EQ settings. The phone EQ app isn't just a cheap attempt so they can advertise it as having a 10 band EQ – it is a bonafide 10 band EQ with a 10 DB range (+5 to -5 per each frequency band). You can create as many EQ templates as you like, give them a custom name, save them, even share them. At least 100 or more you can access from other users whose templates show up in the app.
-Waterproof! I use them working in the yard (sweating profusely) at the gym, and in the shower blasting hot water from the shower head right on them.
CON's:
– Just one. As stated, they fit perfectly… until. At some point wearing them for an hour or so, you can feel one starting to get loose – DAMN! There it is on the ground – I hope it didn't break. Whew, it's still fine. It might just be me, but every single day, after wearing them both for at least an hour of a perfect fit – the moment I feel either one starting to loosen up – is when it is falling out. I took Karate, and I;m known for my fast reflexes, but not once so far have I ever been able to stop either one from falling out. Like I said, they fit perfectly, so I don't adjust them. They seem like they never move at all, maybe my ears build up with a thin layer of humidity/sweat, but without notice either one will just pop out faster than I can try to catch it free-falling 6 feet from my head to the ground.
So it's been several weeks, so each one has jumped without a parachute to a crash landing on the ground every day, so each one roughly 20 6 foot drops, most of which to cement or asphalt. They both still work 100%, so I am just more surprised than upset at this phenomenon. Perhaps I'll attach a string to them, so when one falls out, I will have time to cup the opposite ear, and it will only fall the length of the string and not hit the ground.
Instead of a string, I'll just buy at least one more pair, probably two, so that whenever one breaks, is lost, no longer lasts long after charging, it will become disposable (unless first try to take it apart and see if I can buy a super small rechargable battery and replace it myself, who knows, just a fun "maybe" thing.
I completely 100% endorse these earbuds though. Even in the comments, there doesn't appear to be any issue that keeps coming up over and over, a sign of a well-designed product with a rare lifecycle!

A little gem!
What can I say? These are super inexpensive, tiny, pocket-sized little gems! I don’t even feel them in my pocket. They last a long time on a single charge. The sound is generally well-balanced, crisp, and clear – not super heavy bass, but decent. The trick to using them is to pull up on your ear, insert them, and twist them toward the front until they sit comfortably. They aren’t as loud as some earbuds, but putting them in the way I mentioned helps to get the most out of the sound. The touch pad on each earbud is sensitive and responsive: The track fades off (one tap), or forwards/reverses with a beep (two quick taps – left to go back, right to go forward). You can change the volume with a tap and hold (right ear to raise volume, left ear to lower volume). I’ve been using Tozo products for a while now (I have another pair of earbuds and a really nice set of headphones). Too is a solid, reliable, brand – a real value and quality product! They make some good watches and some Bluetooth speakers as well. If I didn’t have my Amazfit watches, I’d definitely grab one or two of these watches; and my wife says I have too many speakers – buuuuut…I may soon have a Tozo speaker as part of my collection (Don’t tell her!). Overall, a great set of earbuds from a great company!

Terrific Buy!
I have been a big fan of Tozo products since my first purchase in 2021 of their T12 earbuds. Since then I have also purchased their T6, T10, T20, and now their A1 earbuds. While you canât expect their sound to compete with high-end earbuds like Bose or Sony, I have always found that for the money you canât beat Tozoâs earbuds. I purchased these A1 earbuds to use while listening to the TV at night. This has been my experience so far with this product:PROS:ï® 1. Their small size and light weight make them the most comfortable of all the Tozo earbuds that I have tried.ï® 2. The sound is very clear for listening to TV broadcasts and podcasts, where the ability to reproduce a lot of bass is not an issue.CONS:ï® 1. The assortment of ear tips that come with these is not as extensive as with some of their other products, and I found that their largest size, which comes pre-installed, was a little smaller than I really needed. I could have used one size larger, which might have improved the bass response for me.ï® 2. I had some issues with the sensitivity of the touch controls. With these earbuds you touch and hold the earbud to change the volume. I have found that they didnât always respond. I wish Tozo would use one touch for volume rather than having to touch and hold, since I found that sometimes I would touch and hold the earbud to change the volume and if the earbud wouldnât respond properly the earbud would turn off because I had held it too long. This hasnât been a big problem for me with the TV because I can use the TV remote to change the volume. I hope that Tozo will read this review and look into it. It is possible that the pair I received might be defective.ï® 3. If your primary use is going to be listening to music, I would recommend looking into one of Tozoâs other earbuds, since I did find bass to be a little lacking. These earbuds are more than adequate for listening to podcasts or TV, but for music I would recommend looking at one of their other excellent earbuds, such as their T6 earbuds, which I found to have very good sound quality and are still very comfortable, even though as far as I know they also use a 6mm speaker driver, same size as the A1. As you go up in the Tozo line you start to get bigger drivers (8mm for the T-10, and 10mm for the T12 and T20), so you may be more satisfied with music reproduction with those earbuds. However, there is a tradeoff, since accommodating those larger drivers can also results in a larger earbud. I found the T-6 to be a good compromise between sound quality and comfort.I want to stress, however, that even with some of the issues I had with these they have still become my earbuds of choice for my nighttime TV listening due to their clear voice reproduction and comfort. As is the case for all the Tozo products, they are really an incredible value, and itâs amazing to me that they can put out products this good at the prices they charge. I continue to be a big Tozo fan, and look forward to trying their future earbud products.

Let me start by stating the obvious, the Tozo A1 app is available on the Google Play Store. That over……I purchased the New upgraded A1 Tozo buds after enjoying a few years of the Tozo NC9. My right bud went missing and listening with one left bud in is not stereo.After reading the reviews and on their own Tozo website, I decided to try out the A1 range. I was not disappointed. The set listening on the earphones lacked the Bass that I was used to, however after locating the Tozo app I immediately updated the earphone so easily, I was amazed.Once in the settings I reset the earphones to reflect the Bass I was used to, saved the setting and away on test I went.I was impressed by the small and compact earphone charging box, the front carries a lighting system which reflects the state of charge. It was a lot smaller than the NC9. I found the earbuds quickly charged and fits snugly in the ear. They are very comfortable to wear. They hold their charge well and after three hours of use are still going strong. The app shows how much charge you have in the earbud, if you wanted a quick glance of reassurance.Do check out the app so you can personalise your own buds, this is a must.They are still on test, but so far I think that they will be the best buds I have had by far, the cost is very good, the quality a high standard and flexibility of the settings the u.s.p.If you are checking out the reviews before purchase I recommend these Tozo A1 Upgraded Earbuds.You like me will not be disappointed with them. Buy some now.DB.

Acquistate il 31 ottobre 2023 (Halloween Shopð) esattamente 2 anni fa ho acquistato queste MAGNIFICHE cuffie! Vi posso assicurare che a distanza di 2 anni funzionano ancora a meraviglia! Da talmente sono piccole si possono indossare addirittura sotto le cuffie di protezione anti-rumore a lavoroð (non fatelo a lavoro, seriamente, state attenti! L’ho provato per testare la dimensione). Addirittura queste cuffie hanno battuto (in durata nel tempo) le Airpods 3ª Generazione (pagate ben 209⬠e usate dal 03/01/2023) queste qua vi posso assicurare che in qualità sonora ovviamente battono le tozo.. ma in durata no!ð Mi son durate fino maggio-giugno di quest’anno (è una vergogna assoluta che delle cuffie che costano 209⬠durino di meno delle cuffie che costano 22,99â¬ð¤¯). A distanza di 2 anni la batteria à IMBATTIBILE! Quando faccio palestra l’allenamento mi dura circa 2h e usando le cuffie 2h la batteria a fine allenamento è ancora a metà !!ð Invece per la custodia di ricarica dura completamente 3-4 giorni (e ripeto, dopo 2 anni di uso quotidiano, visto che sono una persona che ascolta musica ogni santo giorno, funzionano ancora da dio, senza difetti né niente) anche di quella sono sbalordito! Funziona ancora meravigliosamente bene! Per me è uno dei miei prodotti migliori per qualità -prezzo in assoluto! Merita tantissimo questo prodotto!â¤ï¸

I like the build and price wise it’s a good product. The app you can download is really helpful as well. Tozo is a prime example of not needing to shell out a lot of money for a simple product as wireless earphones.

Managed to get a Warehouse ‘like new’ set for £13odd and that was a steal! First time I’ve used earbuds and was forced into them when new mobile came without 3.5mm jack socket. I have to say these fit really well (there are different size silicone cones you can try out to get best fit for you), although I don’t do anything energetic / sweaty when using them, but they are cheap so it wouldn’t be the end of the world if you did lose one and had to buy another set. Sound quality for my listening tastes (anything from Queen to classical, via ABBA, Simon & Garfunkel and other MOR artists) is great – no distortion and adequate bass. I think there is another version of these buds from the same seller which you can link to an app which gives a graphic equaliser should you really want to play around with the sound spectrum. These ones, however, come without an app and will therefore play in line with the mp3 recording, although you may be able to adjust the sound output from your phone with any equaliser or pre-set sound options that come with your phone. They are not noise-cancelling but I find when they are fitted snugly in your ear, you don’t find your music being drowned out by sounds around you, and in any event I’d rather be able to be aware of, for example, on-train announcements.Set up is straightforward and battery life so far has been very good. So overall, if you want a straightforward pair of earbuds that won’t break the bank, then try these.
