Tozo NC7 vs Tozo NC9 Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) Wireless Earbuds Review - MUST SEE! 

And now there's the NC9 "Upgraded" version.

Yes it's silly. I just bought the nc9s and probably would have researched the nc7 as well if I thought they were newer

@@McFaddis I think the number is something to do with the driver size. Same with the T6, T10, T12

Facts my man, I been looking at just this brand on Amazon for two hours trying to figure out what’s newer and better lol

Absolutely

Thanks man, always a pleasure!

I will watch for that in the NC2's when I open them up tomorrow night!

What a misleading video!! Nc7 is a older version no……..

Hey my man, El Jefe, thanks! I thought about you probably liking these way more than me. I dbe curious to hear what you think of them

@@SoZenGadgets hopefully I’ll get a chance to try them soon.

@Landry Gael yup, I've been using instaflixxer for months myself :D

⬆️⬆️⬆️SCAM ALERT⬆️⬆️⬆️

Glad you're enjoying them and were wise to purchase the 2022 model!

​@@SoZenGadgets no doubt, have you tried the crystal buds? I havent but have a feeling these are better

Nice summary and so glad you're enjoying them!

Glad you enjoyed the show, i'm thinking about how to do something like that at the intro more often. A little whacky, i know.

Glad you're enjoying them & thank you for sharing

i hope you enjoy them! Just remember they sound best with ANC on or Ambient on (when you first take them out of the case, they are in ANC & Ambient off mode, they don't sound great in that mode, imo)

@@SoZenGadgets Thank you. I just found NC9 PLUS with a mind-blowing battery time also exists.

@@ika5666 good call on the higher battery life nc9 buds!

Thanks bro!

Hi Michael, you're welcome. The left mfb single press toggles between ANC on & Ambient on modes. My wish is that there be a third option of ANC & Ambient Off, but Tozo seems to like only the first 2 options. So the only way to have them in ANC&Ambient off mode is to turn them off/on and then they default to ANC & AMbient off mode.

Thanks man! The tozo nc7 (really all of the tozo ) have decent transparency mode while indoors. The nc7 are newer than the nc9 and preferred imo. The nc2 are even slightly newer tech, with some crazy bass! Choose by your preferred form factor and realized all mics for this price point are decent, not perfect.

@@SoZenGadgets didn’t know the nc2s were newer, I bought the nc7 and should have them tomorrow, if I don’t like them as much I’ll consider the nc2 and give the nc7 to my brother

Thanks. Any idea what they updated?

They actually made a whole new version called the nc9 plus. Its the same overall design but it lasts 10.5 hours and with the case it lasts over 100 hours. I bought the nc9 plus's not long ago and there great. Idk about them being better than the nc7s though because ive never had tozo products before. They seem to have fixed everything that the nc7s had over them though.

@@badgergaming6713 is the "plus" different from "updated" nc9s?

@@_thealexm_ I think they are different products. The NC9 plus' have a bigger battery in both the earbuds and in the charging case it's self. I could be wrong on that tho. The updated (I believe) are just UI updated and better ANC capabilities

Thanks you for responding.

For earbuds it's average volume. for your ears, it's very very loud.

Hey GI Chow - yes, very helpful, I added it to my test list for all buds when we talked about it a few weeks back. Bart and I have different opinions for sure, best to use the buds you have and compare your thoughts with the reviewer in question (me, him, whomever...) to see where your more closely aligned. Probably agree with some of what different people think and not all of any - sound is so unique to the beholder!

Hey Matteo, what did you end up getting? Seems like SoundPeats has really updated their app and which buds can connect to it - I'd have no issues recommending their earbuds. However, the 3SE and H1 are more accuracy buds, imo. I'd have recommended the T2 for bass.

You can see my review of it here and it's the 20,000mAh version that has the digital display. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0E2LnXKwVxM.html

Woah, I didn't see your whole post on my first reply. The nc7 are brighter. If I said different at the closing , I'm twisted my numbers, the 7 are brother. Let me go look at the end there!?!

Hi Jamesdesigns, the nc7, like most of not all ambient mode earbuds has a distinct sound, that could be considered static, when ambient mode is on. Wind will exasperate the noise to unbearable levels on all ambient mode bids I've tried (don't ride a bike with ambient mode on!). Typically even with very low level music playing, the static is rendered reasonably ignorable

@@SoZenGadgets thank you!

Agreed, the nc7 anc tops the efp by alot. The nc2 also. Both tozo anc buds have no extra noise in their anc, while the t2 does, imo.

The T2s have the best ANC I've ever heard but I believe the NC7s are all round a better bud, IMO

Hey Mike, no i haven't reviewed any JBL earbuds. You think they are good?

I thnk the problem with any of those options will be wind noise. Nothing can overcome wind at those speeds. Neither of these can compete with top tier apple noise cancellation, however for the price, they're pretty effective.

Definitely - my Top 25 #MicSeries Rankings: ru-vid.com/group/PLHHCoHdEBG00VGbb0T83mQ8byBpDkXu94 I've got all the rest in another playlist. I ask in my videos for people to nominate buds into the Top 25 or higher!

I wonder if it works better if your back is too the traffic? I haven't seen the wind cause accidental touches, but hair, rain, clothing (like you're hoodie or the ties) does sometimes managed to touch the controls and change something

So true, hard to find anything better without some new tech dropping

Thanks for noticing! You didn't like the mics, oh good feedback J!

@@SoZenGadgets, You're my go-to guy for all earbud reviews and mic tests! I ended up going with the Earfun Free Pros and have been using it for a few weeks. I still have my Tranya T10's. Everyone I've talked to using my Earfun's say they hear me clear and similar to the Tranya T10s. I also tested these by leaving myself a voicemail. Both sound similar but the T10s are more crisper in my voice quality. The NC7s sound a bit more robotic from your videos. I definitely wouldn't rate them in your Top 10.

@@JtotheRizzo thanks man, I am glad you like the Earfun Free Pros. They win the small case, small bud, and great features equation for now. I won't put the nc7 I. The top 10. There was some serious wind that day though, tough draw!

I have the updated 2022 version of the NC7s, not sure what was updated, but I am using them with a MacBook Pro 2019 as well and they never miss a beat. Never drop out and they are very loud buds.Can't be more impressed with them and I own a lot of buds

If your current Tozo's are the T6 or T10, I could relate. These newer NC7's have better, noise cancelling mics - take all earbud mics with a little understanding that a super tiny microphone can only do so much, but the NC7's mics are better than the older non-noise cancelling mics in the T6/10's

Great tip Mike! I'm not an iPhone user bit this channel is pushing me to explore them soon

I am finally on to the NC2's! watch for my review soon

Which one has better ANC, NC2 or NC7? Thanks.

Sean, May I suggest checking out the Mifo Sport S? amzn.to/3VRcPx5 These are the smallest earbuds I've reviewed, easily deep in my ears, even for side sleeping. Maybe could solve your issue?

Welcome

Three solid buds, you can't go wrong with any of them. These NC7 are the brightest of the bunch for sure. Anc is better than earfun, mics too. T2 anc might be stronger but there's some imperfections if you use anc at low volume.

Thanks for the feedback Trino. Seems like a fit fail for sure. Glad you like the x3 and keep that on mind for one of my upcoming reviews!

@Ken Kong I returned my NC-7s as the sound signature didn't sounds good as it did on my NC2s. Maybe I got a bad pair but the level of clarity (particularly the lack of bass response compared to the NC2s, even with EQ applied) was a disappointment. As I said, it could have been a faulty pair. I've been using the NC2s extensively for about 2 weeks now and I'm seriously impressed with the noise cancelling, the ambient noise, etc, and I'm an earbuds junkie with plenty to compare them to. Some of my collection includes: Jabra 75ts with upgraded ANC, Sony WF-SP800N, Soundcore Liberty 2s and Liberty Air2s, Soundcore Spirit X2s, Soundcore Life Q30s, TOZO T-10s, T-12S, NC9s, Earfun Free Pro, Soundpeats H1 so my NC2s are up against some pretty stiff competition and they compete very well, IMHO.

​@Ken Kong Yes, they are bluetooth 5.2 version. Unfortunately no APT-X codec support. I haven't come across any TOZO earbuds yet that support APTx. They all support AAC & SBC (the default is AAC). As an Android user (I have a One Plus 7 Pro, with Dolby Atmos built in), I would prefer APTx support but in my experience, the manufacturer's tuning of the earbuds and good implementation of a codec is more important. I have a mix of earbuds that contain both and with some I notice the difference, others, I don't. As for the stem style, I have several pairs that put out some pretty impressive bass! (ex, Soundcore Liberty Air2s, OneMore Piston buds are two examples). By the way, I also found that my NC2s to be louder than both the NC7s and the NC9s by a couple of notches. I would estimate them at 100db or so. They get pretty loud!

@Ken Kong Enacfire makes good products.They all have different sound signatures which is why I have several pair (well, I'm a Tech junkie, lol). It depends on whether you care about noise cancelling or not. The Soundpeats H1 can only be ordered through Kickstarter - don't ask me why! Lol. As for the Apollo Bolds, I returned three pairs because although the noise cancelling is really good (among the best in the sub $100 range and they are bass heavy), the pairing process was finicky with all three and their app implementation was very poor. Clear Ally Audio (not very well known or spoken of) makes some excellent sounding earbuds (they look just like the Apollo bolds but sound far better). They are releasing some new earbuds first week of April. Quoted specs from their website cleeraudio.com/coming_soon/ally-plus-ii/ Cleer Acoustic Labs custom tuned 10mm neodymium drivers deliver dynamic audio performance and powerful bass. Bluetooth® 5.2 with AptX™, AptX™ Adaptive, and dual microphones for enhanced call quality and an App to adjust noise cancelling and ambient noise! (price: $129.00 retail according to an online Rep I spoke with via chat) Sounds promising! If you register on their website, they offer a 10% discount AND 15% for military (including Guard, Retired, and Reserve)! Not sure if the new ones will be offered at a discount though, probably not.

Hey DZMJ - for the NC7, when you take them out of the case they are in anc off & ambient off (unless you turn on ANC or Ambient) and in that mode I also found the bass to be ... lacking. Considering your collection, you're probably just as well saving the $50 lol

@@SoZenGadgets Hey Sozen, ah ok. Then the NC2s are definitely different in that regard because I barely noticed a shift in sound when listening to them in all three modes. The bass is definitely there regardless of sound mode and its tight too! I think TOZO knocked it out of the park with the NC2s!

I am pretty sensitive to that sensation, but I do try to ignore my personal preferences somewhat for my reviews... The NC7 ANC is not perfect and you can't turn it off, either, so for you, I probably would recommend any other brand bud with hybrid ANC, since you can wear them with ANC off (and ambient off), just Tozo doesn't give that mode other than when the buds first come out of the case (or powering them off/on). Thinking about it, i would have thought the NC2, being a stem style bud, would give less of that feeling than an in-ear dot-style bud, if you wanted to try a bud, try the MPow X6, which doesn't penetrate your ears very far, but still has strong ANC (if you prefer the deep in-ear style buds, then you might not like the X6, but you will struggle to find ANC in the deep ear buds that doesn't give you that feeling you described). I'm pretty chatty tonight lol

@@SoZenGadgets Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it.

Well the Earfun were my favorites of 2020, so they rank high on my list. These NC7 have much stronger ANC, and are much brighter in the treble frequencies, choose based on those differences you can't go wrong, they are both excellent.

FYI on his site you can do a comparison. www.sozengadgets.com/earbud-comparison It looks like they're louder but with worse latency.

Hi emarzano265 - I'm in the USA, where it's much easier to purchase the Tozo products with a warranty & return policy. If I'm you, that's what I'd want first - easy ship/return and make sure you like them.

Hi Jon, you could try smaller tips or loosely fit them in what i call "manual ambient mode", just a really loose fit. I would still go for a pair of earhook buds for running - in March/April when it's cold and windy, even the earhook style will not be perfect against the cold wind, but they are still far better than any in-ear earbud, imo.

@@SoZenGadgets I think you're right. There is a pair of amazfits that have a magnetic hooks that detachable and are stored in the case. They don't have ANC but they have ambient. I could give them a try..I just really wanted to get a cheaper brand that had great ANC and ambient that I could work out in and not hear anything but turn on ambient if someone were to talk to me. I also haaaate a big case and prefer wireless charging. I will try the smaller tips. I used the one's that came with the buds. I'll also try running with the ambient and ANC off. Here is the link for those amazfit buds. www.amazon.com/dp/B087P2GZFX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_402118D91PRT53HVGVPW?psc=1

Maybe one of them is failing to charge/disconnect in the case? Seems like you could figure it out by playing music really loud and listening close to the case to see if the buds are playing in the case.

@@SoZenGadgets yes they are not playing in the case usually but tthey don't disconnect

Wow, never thought of that as an issue! If it were aunt and warm here I'd try it, maybe today will be ☀️

@@SoZenGadgets Hi and thanks for checking. With one layer of transparent tape the in-ear detection still gets fooled. Will try this afternoon at 5pm with two layers. At noon with 1 layer it seemed immune though

Hey can you redo the test on the nc9 upgraded version please? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MhKazXPFj-8.html

@@miladskayaful Did you ever figure out a fix for the sunlight issue?

@@JohnSmith-mk8hz nope! Just gave them to a friend . They worked well otherwise

Welcome 🤗

Does the spinfit 360s really make a difference compared to the ones that come with the buds

@@marcweig2067 yes it's so much comfortable

Thanks

I love the way you just slide your finger over the bud to change the mode...too cool and it never misses. The NC7s are amazing for the price. I hope I don't get any problems with them. They are so good.

Lol, that'd give you 24 hr battery life without a recharge!

@@SoZenGadgets yes, tozo nc7 have a big battery in one earbud 😂👍

I'm trying to decide between those three! Which one do you prefer for ANC, ambient mode, and calls?

Hi benjan, I answered this question on the other video you posted it on

That is an odd number they came up with, but NC7 just came out!

But the nc7s are cheaper? I figured they are a lesser model

I believe there is an updated version of the NC9

The nc2 seem to be just a little newer

I should know in a week or so

Is that the nc7? You should probably contact Tozo, maybe they have an issue with their buds? Btw, does that high pitch sound only occur when the buds are in ambient mode? If so, could it be you fingers covering the microphone when you touch the buttons? That wouldn't be uncomment for the ambient mode to freak out when the mics are blocked

Most people seem to prefer the NC2 over ... most other buds.

Finally, someone gets it, lol These do look very close to the 75t with touch controls, there're some really small differences in the size of the bud and the Tozo case is smaller. Tozo doesn't have an app, Tozo with wireless charging cost **$150 less** than the 75t with wireless charging...!!

@@SoZenGadgets The Tozo case is even smaller than the Jabra 75t? Uau!!! Awesome!

@@PModesto yes, not by much, but yes

for the mics and if you want to brighten up your sound considerably.

Hope you like those a2's, they look sweet

@@SoZenGadgets just got em an hr ago in mail but watched a review from el jefe he did a top 5 and named em #1 for under 100 bucks with anc .. bit I'm a soundcore junkie and from senn momentum to Sony xm3 to jaybird vista to jabra elite active 75 t im yet to hear a pair that sound as good or get as loud as the liberty 2 pro and for 15 months they've worked flawlessly and I wear em daily walkin 8 to 12 miles a day in 95 degrees to minus 30 in Minnesota weather.. but they're just phenomenal but after the 2 pros then I got the q30 which I love and I had to try these .... I'm pretty excited will reply little later what I think but the xm3 were just unbearable unless sittin still for most part plus no ip rating to protect from elements like rain or sweat so even tho they had decent sound and good anc they were a no go and I I the elite active 75t after they got the update givin them anc but even on sale at 149.99 they just didn't do it for me soundwise good bass kind of but not very loud and anc wasn't that great either and ya still can't use either earbud which they still didn't fix with their 85t and they're charging 199 to 229 for em.. crazy to me but think these will be awesome all around... have great rest a your day and man I enjoy your vids.. please keep up the great work

@@wadec6799 anybody wearing earbuds at -30 degrees deserves a shout out! Wow, that's friggin ❄️. Soundcore's do have a nice sound to them and they charge a little extra for it, but not breaking the bank. Hope they are awesome!

@@SoZenGadgets I mean thats with a mask over em and hat on top of that lol but I deliver mail daily and these earbuds and couple others are lot of times what gets me thru my days!!!!!! So far pretty impressed with these earbuds .. got about an hr on them and got em all set up to soundcore app .. for 67.99 they were on sale for about 5 days here id say they are a steal... at full price of 79.99 they're still a steal..... got good bass with their 11mm drivers but what I'm really liking so far is the anc... the anc on these are impressive and the transparency is decent but the anc is pretty darn good... as soon as I turned em on I had an update available so updated and im really liking them..... not quite as loud as the liberty 2 pro or the wide Soundstage i get with my liberty 2 pros .. able to hear all instruments etc but they r still really really good... soundwise I'd easily take these over the jabra 75t and the jaybird Vista but today was day off so gonna rock em all day tomorrow and get em lil more broke in but sozen if ya get a chance id love to see ya review these... id be willing to bet you'd really like them!! And lastly the soundcore app is my favorite with audio products ... I changed controls right away to my liking volume up double tap right volume down double tap left skip forward track press right for 2 sec skip back press left for 2 sec but also love all the eq presets and custom eq... I don't know but soundcore is killin it with these products .. can't speak for the air 2 or air 2 pro since I don't care for stem style buds but the L2P the q30 the spirit x2 and now these a2 nc are phenomenal!!! Take care and always look fwd to your vids!!

@@wadec6799 alright you and some other dudes have me convinced, I'll.check them out!

It's not very clear in the manual, but two for listening to your voice and two more inward facing mics for the anc system, is what I think they have

@@SoZenGadgets then sounds like 2 in a bud and 4 in total in a pair.

The nc2 are slightly newer tech, but I would just go with your preferred style

Lol they've completely ripped off Jabra's design

These do look very close to the 75t with touch controls, there're some really small differences in the size of the bud and the Tozo case is smaller. Tozo doesn't have an app, Tozo with wireless charging cost *$150 less* than the 75t with wireless charging...!!

There's no comparison, these are better
