"The price is shockingly good for what you get, and I have a feeling that these could last me longer than my AirPods."

There were a few reasons these earbuds in particular caught my eye. With impending travel planned, I’d been curious about active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones for a while. I’d only used Apple’s second and third-generation AirPods, which don’t have the feature. I also liked the variety of colors these came in (you can choose from seven; I got the summery pale green). Finally, I’d read my colleagues’ previous coverage of them on sale, which showed reviewers that preferred them to AirPods for the sound quality, battery life and far cheaper price.

Immediately upon receiving the earbuds, I was impressed by the sound quality. The noise-cancelling does work; I’ve used the feature on my daily commute, as well as on crowded planes. It’s not completely silent, but it’s a huge upgrade from what I was working with before and a total game-changer. I did find that toggling ANC on and off by tapping the earbuds took a little trial and error — they’re pretty sensitive to touch, but I got the hang of it after a few tries.

I also liked the customizable fit — you can choose what size earcaps you want from the ones included. I ended up using the extra-small for my narrow ears.

I also have to commend the battery life. I use the earbuds at least twice a day with ANC on and haven’t had to charge my charging case in weeks. That’s a huge step up from my AirPods, and a relief during travel especially.

They laud the waterproofing, with one reviewer even showering with them on, the battery life (“HOLY LONG-LIVED LISTENING APPLICATION, BATMAN!”) and the ability to play around with the sound presets using the Tozo app for a customized listening experience. “Blew my mind! Amazing how these earbuds sound and for the price, it’s unreal!” one reviewer wrote, and I have to agree.

“I have owned Apple AirPods and many others, o came across these while searching for new ones and decided to give them a try, I am so happy with them they fit my small ears perfectly they aren’t lose, don’t fall out and are comfortable, for the noose canceling YES they definitely are. My husband walked in on me while I was cleaning house and I never even heard him also I was using these while vacuuming my car out with a shop vac and I couldn’t hear the shop vac. I would highly recommend these and wish I would have found them a lot sooner then I wouldn’t have wasted so much money on others.” —Melanie

“Great earbuds. It took me a bit to get used to the controls, but now that I have I honestly like them better than AirPods; they are more comfortable and the sound quality is just as great. The battery life has been good so far too.” —Lexa

“I was amazed how good these sound for the price and how good noise canceling works. For $26 the sound to price performance is much better than my $250 airpod pro 2 buds. And the app is really cool for tuning the sound and setting up the functions. Just make sure you get a good fit that will determine how good they sound and how good noise canceling works. Luckily that give you many different ear tips to help find a good fit.” —Chad

“These put more expensive (cough, AirPod Pros, cough) to shame at 1/6 the price. The ANC on these is phenomenal, the battery life is phenomenal and the sound is phenomenal. Call quality is clear and they connect to both my iPhone and iPad with no issues. I haven’t tested out the waterproof feature yet. Digital battery display on the front is a nice feature. I listen to audiobooks all day while working and have 2 pairs of AirPod Pros because the battery life is only 3-4 hours, so I was switching them out. I also listen to podcasts while falling asleep (and to knock out the sound of my bf snoring lol) and misplaced my other pair of Tozo earbuds I use for that. This was a panic buy, but a GOOD one!” —Michelle

“What a great pair of headphones! The price point is amazing for the sound quality that you get. I have given up on my AirPods and I’m now switching to these for my day to day use. Very happy I took the risk on these. They come with 4 extra different ear piece sizes to ensure you find the perfect fit. I don’t feel worried that it’s going to fall out either. Connecting the headphones with my phone was also seamless. There were 3 different colors offered to choose from, and I chose the classic black color. I haven’t taken a call with these yet to test out the mic but I’m assuming that it is also good quality. The case and headphones feel and look durable. I also like that the case stands up and isn’t rounded at the bottom.” —kc97421
