EarPrint technology customizes exclusive sound effects for users with different ear sizes and recompenses for hearing deficiencies.

These headsets also support LDAC high-resolution audio to deliver CD-quality sound over Bluetooth and have a Transparency Mode for hearing your surroundings.

Layered and more complex songs like Parannoul’s Beautiful World are brought to life, fully encompassing the listener in intricate and glorious detail. The hybrid driver setup includes balanced armature drivers, such as a 12mm carbon nanotube diaphragm dynamic driver. This significantly improves the sound quality, resulting in an immersive and precise soundstage. LDAC codec support elevates the earphones’ audio, allowing for high-resolution audio transmission.

Instead, the Nothing Ear 2 earpieces feature an 11.6mm driver and an innovative dual-chamber design, which, according to the brand, enhances airflow for clearer audio reproduction. While X1 revealed detailed vocals and clear, high-pitched tones, the ANC tended exaggerated bass. With EQ customization, impressive bass response, and LDAC support, they are a standout option in the wireless earphone market.

During my testing, the default EQ setting slightly boosted the bass. However, switching to the Balanced EQ setting with the app makes a noticeable difference, allowing for more balanced audio. The noise cancellation influenced the bass response, and there was a tendency for exaggerated bass. Turning off the noise cancellation required me to activate the bass-boosting profile.

TOZO Golden X1 also supports Active Noise Cancellation, ensuring one can immerse oneself in calls or music. The advanced noise isolation system is a lifesaver by keeping your volume reasonable. Moreover, Environmental Noise Cancellation and active noise cancellation effectively block up to 90% of the background noise. This feature makes it a reality, whether you are trying to drift into sleep during travel or want to enjoy your favorite tracks.

These earphones contain six microphones with noise-reduction technology and excel at minimizing distractions. The pair of earpieces intelligently adapt to your surroundings, providing a remarkable noise reduction of up to 42 dB. It allows you to enjoy crystal-clear communication during important phone calls. During my testing, they effectively counterbalanced various background noises, delivering a notable and nonstop listening experience.

You can easily toggle the noise cancellation On and Off, allowing you to adjust the noise reduction according to your preferences and environment. This will enable you to remain aware of your surroundings when necessary while enjoying the headset’s premium sound. These earpieces offer decent Passive Noise Isolation, blocking out background noise. The customizable ANC modes enhance the isolation performance, so enjoy your favorite podcasts.

These modes offer flexibility in tailoring the level of noise cancellation to your preference: Reduce Wind Noise, Noise Cancellation, Leisure Mode, and Custom Pattern. Compared to the Apple AirPods Pro 2, I noticed some background noise while wearing these earphones. The NC mode was impressive when commuting, but if you are walking along the street or running outside, you might need to use Reduce Wind Noise or Leisure Mode to hear what is happening around you.

With the wind noise cancellation, it is tough for users to get a good fit with headsets to black out the distortion caused by the wind blowing through their ears. Between the Reduced Wind Noise combo and the ergonomic fit, I faced little issues while listening to my favorite songs when it was windy. Users can customize ANC intensity from 1 to 10 in the custom pattern. ANC can help cancel low-frequency noises like airplane engines, traffic, etc.

These headphones have intuitive, smart touch controls that are easy to use and customize. Users can activate different controls by pressing the earphones once, twice, or thrice or holding and pressing them for up to two seconds. They can use left and right buds to answer, reject, disconnect, and play music.

Each earpiece has unique touch functionalities. For instance, you can use only the left one to play the previous song, activate the Active Noise Cancellation/Transparent Mode, or lower the volume. In the same way, one can use only the right bud to play the next song on the playlist, activate the voice assistant, or increase the volume.

They use the latest Bluetooth 5.3 technology for wireless convenience, making the connectivity and pairing process simple and quick. While playing Bluetooth music, I don’t observe any latency or signal disruptions. Connection strength proved steadfast, though they only support an effective Bluetooth range of 10 meters, which is below average compared to most recent offerings from competitors.

The ergonomic design of TOZO Golden X1 ensures a secure and comfortable fit within the ear’s inner curve. Moreover, the earpieces’ compact size and extra ear tips allow for a customized fit. The headsets were secure and comfortable during my testing, even during physical activities and prolonged listening sessions. Because they are lightweight, I had no issue leaving them in for hours.

I also noticed that the wrong selection affects the midrange bands I saw. You can also use the aftermarket tips with the output nozzles, but they seem slightly oval at the tip. The half-stem statement fits it precisely because it is not lengthy but just stubs. It gives me something to grab onto when you insert the earpieces, but the stem could be more obvious, and I like that feature.

TOZO employed a well-organized ergonomic design. The output stem and the brand’s logo on the touchpad are gold-plated. Additionally, the outer skin is made of high-quality polymers. Each earphone weighs over five grams, while the carry case weighs 43 grams. The pill-shaped case opens to reveal a pairing button and a USB Type-C charging port at the back.

Another section will help users play with the Golden X1 touch control functions. The app also allows users to select Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Leisure Mode, and Reduced Wind Noise. The ear print technology test is the most exciting feature, as it gives you a series of yes or no choices within points of the frequency bands. Afterward, you can save those curves as presets. I found this feature to be mid-bass-biased.

The app’s adjustable EQ settings add another dimension of sound modification, resolving minor issues like the slightly underexposed mid-bass frequencies. As discussed above, users can save their preset for future use or listening, which is always useful. TOZO app has applied an AI algorithm recompense for the sound ranges where your hearing is not as sharp. You can also re-map the touch controls inside the companion app.

Both buds have a 50mAh battery inside and a 500mAh reserve battery inside the charging case. According to TOZO, earbuds offer 8 hours of playtime on a single charge, and the case allows users to enjoy 32 hours of playtime, providing four additional full charges from a single cradle charge. I had the best time, under 5 hours, using an LDAC codec transmission from my laptop or a Google Pixel.

However, that number can be improved by using a less demanding codec like SBC and keeping the volume low. In my other testing, I managed 7 hours of usage on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation off and up to four complete recharges with the case. Using the ANC and streaming over LDAC, I fully charged the buds and their charging case in 2 hours via USB Type-C.

I assessed and evaluated the battery life of these earpieces with different functionalities and features. These buds can provide great sound quality for up to 8 hours of playtime at around fifty percent and sixty percent volume, without activated ANC, and up to thirty-three hours with their case. With LDAC and Multipoint Connectivity on, I could use the earpieces for around 5 to 6 hours.

However, I didn’t observe any fast charging with the charging case, which disappointed me as I expected premium-quality buds with this feature. The case with a 500mAh battery capacity takes around 2 to 2.5 hours for a full charge. Furthermore, with the wireless charging feature, you can charge the case using the Qi wireless charger.
