   Update 2: well as someone who felt like number of earbud wise i went overboard buying the first pair of the NC2’s (you can see where this is going) … I just ordered a second pair when it hit a lightning deal … i am not going to say these are perfect but … sound wise they sound SO GOOD in my view and for the price … I probably shouldn’t have made this second purchase but I did. And to be clear … I still LOVE the T6’s tooUpdate: I REALLY hate to think i am overdoing it but the more wired/wireless IEMs or headphones (even having a new pair of my old favorite … i admit cheap wired Sony’s that … just are tuned all wrong and sound bad too … doing an A-vs-B comparison with old pairs that still work i IMMEDIATELY notice the difference….. ANYWAY I hate to think i am hyping these up TOO MUCH but they sound GREAT … maybe (I do need to use my Earfun Free Pro 2’s more) other than those Earfuns these may be my favorite sounding BT earbud that I own right now. It reminds me of the Tribit XSound Surf as I said in the review .. .even with genres like jazz where there is a PUNCH to the base and a boost in my view in the higher ends (maybe high mids too) … IT’S CLEAN and doesn’t muddy things up … REALLY considering picking up another pair, of these NC2’s to be honest————————————-First off, I am no audiophile (though at times I feel I am getting that picky) and I do have experience with many … I admit low-end (price) wired and wireless earbuds, headphones and speakers. Bluetooth Earbuds I have are TOZO’s T6’s and NC2’s, Earfun’s Free Pro 2’s and EarFree Mini’s (returned), Fiil’s T1XS with app support, and Edifier’s TWS1 Pros, just to give a list of what I can compare these to.———————–Sound Quality:First off, I will start by answering my own (pre-purchase) question. “Are these better/How do they compare to the TOZO T6’s that many love … myself included?” … These do sound better than the T6’s … NOTHING AGAINST the T6’s but these NC2 have good low (with a decent “thump” to them) mids and highs, while being CLEAN sounding … things in my view do NOT “Bleed into each other” so even though I hear a thump to the base, it sounds CLEAN and doesn’t in my view muddy up the mids or anything else for that matter. I really wanted to give these time to make sure it wasn’t just a really good source (for the audio) and other things sounded off.After listening to theses on a number of different genres, like classical, smooth jazz, hard rock and rap… these sound great to me with all of them. I’d hate to say this too soon but they DO remind me of my Tribit Xsound Surf speakers … even with that extra thump with some lighter genres … it still sounds good with it sounding so clean and not muddying everything up.Sound wise I am not sure if they are in a default mode and stay that way unless I enable ANC or Transparancy mode (this is one of the FEW cons … off the top of my head only con really, but I will get to that later)… however the POINT I want to make is in any of the three (or just two? ANC or Transparency in that case) modes, the sound is great… I do notice a difference and mainly the ONLY difference is that the sound seems a TAD more “dynamic” (say punchier base for instance) when ANC is on vs the other modes. I have had say some Mpow headphones with ANC and there is a much more noticable “sound shift” when in different modes … this switch on the TOZO NC2’s is not that bad and it sounds great in all modes … again other than MAYBE my Earfun Free Pro 2’s … these may be my favorite … it’s CLOSE between the two.——————————Noise Canceling/ANC:I am not going to act like I have had the well known Sony’s or a pair of real Airpods for a comparison and I hear (no pun) they have SUPER GOOD ANC… also I KNOW what to expect with ANC … really loud people taking or baby’s crying loudly may not be effected by any ANC but just “sent to the background” in a sense. Some reviews say the ANC is horrible but I am not sure if they were expecting too much out of ANC tech or not.There is a tip I have though from my first experience … I put these NC2’s in my ears and they fit ok and sounded good … but the ANC wasn’t there … other than some things being applified sounding in Transparancy mode, I couldn’t tell which mode I was in … ANC “was horrible” … then for some reason even though the fit was ok, I did what I forgot to do like with the other earbuds and instead of the stems on these nearly facing down, they were facing forward and down to “almost forward” … WOW … THERE CAME THE ANC. I have two different Honeywell fans I keep on low a lot but they are … well some would consider that loud … this ANC cancelled out more of those fans, than any ANC I have tried before …. I mean I don’t care if I hear the fan with an ANC mode on but … this does the best job out of any ANC I have tried other than MAYBE (I need to test those more) the Earfun Free Pro 2’s where from my limited experience with that ANC … I’d say they are sort of equal … though THOSE COST A BIT more than these.Passive NC seems decent too, to be fair and one thing I love about TOZO’s T6’s as well is even though they do NOT have ANC … the passive NC with even the T6’s with “the right eartips” cancels out so much of low hums and rumbles.——————-Controls – I only have limited time using the controls (usually using these with devices hooked up to my TV, so I just use the remotes anyway) but so far the controls seems great. I cant remember what earbuds they were but sometimes I feel I have to press the buttons a time or two to get what I want … not a huge deal … cant even call that “annoying” in my case but … it happens with that pair. So far (knowing if I brush the side of my head with any earbuds, I may accidently trigger something … not a big deal by any means in that case) with this pair, things have been great.————————-Comfort – as I said these are comfortable as with any earbuds that depends on trial and error sometimes getting the “right eartips” for you. I think the default ones are what I left on and they provide a good seal and are comfortable even after extended use.———————–Pairing/Setup – No issues here … things were really easy to setup on different devices——————Construction – for me I know they are plastic but they DO NOT feel like “cheap junk” that some SUPER BUDGET tech products feel like. I hate to say it … but even before they had the issues that caused me to return them … the Earfun Free Mini’s had a SORT OF (not the worst I have seen or felt) “cheaper feel” to them. I DO NOT get that impression with my two TOZO products.——————————————————————–Con -the ONLY con off the top of my head is the controls for the modes. TOZO … PLEASE make it a three way toggle … on say a re-release or update of the NC2, NC7’s and NC9’s … where instead of you pull them out in “normal mode” than can only toggle ANC or Transparency… make it where it toggles ANC/Transparency/Normal (which I assume would save battery if neither one of the other modes is needed at that time)This is not a big deal as they have good battery life (note: I have not had to charge them yet but long term use and testing the battery life claims, is NOT something I can speak about), but it’s something others have mentioned too and it would be nice to have …. again for those reading this … that is the only con I can speak of.—————————————————one more thing …. I cant say I have tested the mics for phone calls as that was never my use-case for these.I also do not have a wireless charger yet (i’d probably go with one of TOZO’s own to test) but with these and another set of earbuds or two with wireless charging as an option, I may try this some day … the fact that these have all of what they do (good battery life, GREAT sound, well made construction, ANC AND Transparency mode) AND wireless charging too … heck I may have talked myself into picking up ANOTHER pair one day.——————————————-These NC2s I would totally recommend and for the “right price” … I’d even consider picking up another pair. The T6’s are great too and if you were like me (I have both now) and going between the two … overall the T6’s are great and shockingly good value for the price in my opinion so far… but the NC2s take things about the T6’s (say sound quality) that was great and made it BETTER.

   I am completely IN LOVE with these earbuds, ( I’ve had these for 2 weeks now). I’ll try to keep this straight to the point:1. Noise Cancellation/ANC:- Fanfrekintastic! I live in NYC and there’s constant loudness any time you step outside, I hear nothing, not in the bus, not while riding the subway & Metro North & not walking around. I can also mute office chatter with a low volume and soft easy sounds/music.2. Transparency Mode:- Fanfrekintastic! I like to use this feature if I’m walking late at night so I can still hear things around me, when any coworker approaches me at the office, I can instantly hear them with one touch to my left earbud AND hear myself so I’m not screaming while speaking and don’t have to take them off or pause my music (maybe lower the volume depending lol).- I like that I can easily with one touch switch between ANC and transparency mode!3. Comfort/Fit:- Better than any other earbuds I’ve ever had. It comes with like 5 or 6 (I believe) different sized silicone covers so no matter how big or small your ears are, you can have a great fit, have total ANC and be comfy. – There are times it starts popping out if I’m laughing too hard but they still stay in my ear somehow, that’s pretty cool.- I had other TOZO (t9 I think) and JBLs and these top both of them in every numbered category!!- Needless to say that I literally wear these all day to mute office chatter and my commute and my ears and outer cartridge doesn’t hurt/feel soar at the end of the day.4. Touch Sensitivity:- I think it’s perfect! I don’t agree with the reviews that say it’s “too sensitive” at all. I have big curly hair and it never interferes, nor with my mask nor with my hoodies!!- It also responds fast to my touch commands to pause, volume, ANC, calls, etc. I don’t have to fight it or get mad lol.5. Battery Life:- Fanfrekintastic! I use these at my office ALL DAY LONG since I leave my house until I get back home from work, a good 9 hours per day. The earbuds themselves start notifying me of low battery after 10+ hours.- Once I place them in their case, they take an hour or less honestly to fully* charge. But I can pick them up for use after like 15 minutes for about 1-2 hours of use!- The case itself I love that it’s compatible with my wireless charging pad, and takes like 2 hours to fully charge or so.6. Connectivity:- Fanfrekintastic! As soon as I take one or both out of the case it connects to my phone, like seriously IMMEDIATELY.- It doesn’t disconnect and I can walk around my office appx 125 feet (38 meters) away from my phone and still be connected. At 140 feet (42 meters) it starts getting blotchy and disconnecting; to me that was VEEERYYY impressive!!!!!!!!!7. Mic/Phone Calls:- Besides the anc, THIS IS WHAT MATTERS TO ME MOST!! And let me tell you that people can hear me CLEARLY when I’m in the bus, walking around NYC noisy streets and indoors, and with my mask on! They tell me that I don’t sound like I’m miles away and the background noise IS INDEED lowered and your voice is louder than the background. (I used to have to put my my call on speaker on hand hold my phone to talk on the phone)- I can also hear others clearly, depending on the noise levels around me I toggle between ANC and Transparency mode!IN SHORT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE EARBUDS! IT’S A GIANT BANG FOR BUCK WITHOUT HAVING TO SETTLE!!! QUALITY IS EQUAL TO $100+ EARBUDS!!

   Ummm I paid $40 for these and I am IN. AWE.!!!!! Best pair of wireless buds I’ve had so far, and this is probably my 8th pair (always various brands) because I lose things, esp tiny things, constantly 🙃. I’m usually picky about even bothering to listen to music that has a decent bass line with crappy earbuds or a phone or laptop speaker, but with these earbuds, I don’t think twice. In fact, I make it a point to listen to the songs with the sickest bass on these bad boys!! The transparent mode is sick and there was a moment when I was watching a video from my own camera reel that happened to have a bit of traffic/road noise in the background, and I replayed the same 10 seconds of audio over and over again because I was absolutely convinced that there was traffic noise happening in real life around me, when in reality, it was just background noise in my video but sounded soooo unbelievably real in my earbuds!! I’m about to buy 6 more pairs so I never go without these 😍. The only thing that would make them better is some sort of tracker, like Tile installed within them, so that I can find them when I inevitably lose them!

   I had to exchange my first pair because one of the buds didn’t work. Easy Amazon exchange, no problem. The second pair worked well with no issues. I’ve had these for about two months and have had no problems. The NC is noticeable and works really well. I think it seems to work better because the non-NC feature on these basically serve as a microphone that seems to actually amplify my surroundings, so the dichotomy between NC off and on is substantial, if not skewed somewhat. Either way, when the music is on, I can’t hear anything else. The sound quality is good and the touch features are intuitive and function well. I primarily wear them to the gym, so they get a little sweaty. The gen 3 AirPods would constantly slip out because of this, however, these stay in place during all gym activities, no problem. In the two months I’ve had these, I’ve had to charge them fully twice. Again, that’s mostly from gym use 3-4 times per week for approximately an hour with NC on. The point is, these have an excellent battery life! If you’re a TikTok-teen that has to constantly have earbuds in, you’ll obviously need to charge them more often. Overall, I can’t recommend these enough. Excellent value for really, really good earbuds!
