TOZO NC20 Pro REVIEW Affordable Earbuds with Powerful ANC and Impressive Sound ...Middle East

We put the NC20 Pro to the test, exploring comfort, audio quality, app features, and battery life to see if these budget-friendly earbuds can compete with premium options.

I think one of the most popular accessories people have nowadays is a good set of earbuds. There is no shortage of earbuds out there. In fact, when I do a search on Amazon for ‘earbuds,’ there are over 40,000 results. So, how do you tell the good from the bad? I happened to find this unique set from TOZO that looks impressive on the surface, especially given its price point. But, I found that price comes at a cost.

User Experience

The NC20 Pro earbuds came with a USB-C charging cable, six sets of ear gels, a user guide and a quick start guide. The earbuds were nestled in the charging case, which TOZO refers to as ‘box,’ instead of charging case. The first thing I did after unboxing the earbuds was to find the proper fit from the ear tips that were provided. I love that TOZO included so many sizes of ear tips. It ensures that users can have a good fit. If you don’t have the right fit, the earbuds will not sound correct and any ANC mode you are trying to take advantage of will fail.

The app has a lot of features built in and it’s fairly intuitive. The app directed me to complete a hearing test, which then uses AI to compensate for areas of your hearing that might not be as strong as others. For me, it was the extreme low end that I had some trouble with. The feature is called Eartune and the only downside to using it is that you cannot use sound effects, which are preset EQs, at the same time. I was also dissappointed that when I turned Spatial Audio on, the EQ is set to standard. I was surprised to find that there were some premium AI-driven features included, too. Aside from the Eartune feature, the other AI features (Meeting Recording, Simultaneous Interpretation, Face-to-Face Bilingual Conversation, and AI Chat) are only unlocked with a Premium or Professional Edition, which has a monthly or yearly subscription fee. I was able to use the app and earbuds comfortably without needing the upgraded membership.

I have to admit that I got a little confused when I was connecting the earbuds to my iPhone because I felt like I was being directed to connect the case and the earbuds separately by the app. In the end, the case automatically connected with the earbuds when the app finalized the Bluetooth connection between the phone and the earbuds. Once the earbuds were connected, they never lost connection.

I was directed to upgrade the firmware for the earbuds and the case separately. This process took 10-20 minutes to complete for both devices. The first time I attempted the update for the earbuds, it did not progress normally. After waiting five minutes and seeing no progress in the app, I force quit the app, put the earbuds into the case and started the process over (as directed by the app). The upgrade completed with no problem after that. The case started to upgrade normally, but failed. I believe it failed because I was listening to music on the earbuds, but I don’t know for sure. The second time I tried it, I pulled the earbuds out of my ears and paused my music. The process completed normally for the Box.

The earbuds are very comfortable. They are lightweight and as long as you have the right size ear tip, it doesn’t really feel like you have anything in your ears. I haven’t had a problem with them falling out of my ears even with light activity. I cleaned the entire house while wearing them and didn’t have them budge once. I didn’t notice any issue with ear fatigue or pressure over time.

When it comes to the touch controls, I wasn’t overly impressed. First, I noticed that there was a definite lag between when I tapped the earpiece and when the action actually completely. In addition to that, there were times that controls on the left ear would complete two different actions. When I would do a single tap, it would switch ANC modes, but it would also go back to the beginning of the track I was listening to, which is what should have only happened with a double-click.

I was very impressed with the ANC feature. The active noise canceling did a great job of filtering out ambient noise. My fiancé was in the same room as I was when I was testing the feature. He happened to be eating some potato chips. I couldn’t hear any crunching when ANC was turned on. When it was off, however, I could definitely tell a difference. We also have a rocking chair that has a loud thumping noise to it when you rock and I couldn’t hear that at all either with ANC on.

As impressed as I was with ANC, was equally unimpressed with the Transparency mode. I noticed that it stripped all the low end out of a sound track and what I could hear of my environment was completely muddled. Transparency/Hear-through mode is one of my favorite modern feature with headphones and earbuds so I pay very close attention to it. The best Transparency modes allow for the ambient noise to pass through clearly so that you can in theory carry on a conversation with someone if you simply pause your music track. The Transparency made the audio quality so bad that I would leave ANC turned on all the time unless someone tried talking to me with the earbuds in.

Since I hadn’t experienced this kind of difference between sound modes before, I looked into why it happens. The gap largely comes down to how ANC and Transparency mode process audio. ANC is a more controlled task. The earbuds detect external noise and generate an inverse signal to cancel it out, which is especially effective against consistent low-frequency sounds like the rocking chair or chip crunching I tested.

Transparency mode is more complex. It has to capture outside sound, process it in real time, and mix it with your music. On more advanced earbuds, these signals are handled separately to preserve audio quality. On the NC20 Pro, that processing feels more aggressive and less refined. To prevent feedback and reduce rumble, the system likely applies a high-pass filter that removes low-frequency information. Because the ambient and music signals are not fully separated, that filtering also affects playback, resulting in a noticeable loss of bass.

At the same time, the earbuds appear to prioritize awareness over fidelity. Ambient sound is compressed and tuned toward midrange frequencies like voices, which can make everything sound congested. Small timing differences between the processed ambient audio and your music can also introduce phase issues that further thin out the sound.

The result matches what I experienced: strong, effective ANC paired with a transparency mode that struggles to maintain audio quality. Rather than sounding natural, it reflects the limits of a simpler DSP approach that relies on aggressive filtering, shared processing, and limited separation between signals.

In addition to Transparency mode being a let down, I found that the range is somewhat disappointing, too. I left my phone and the Box in the front room of our house and walked to the back of our house. The house is only 1485 sqft so I was probably only about 25-30 feet away from the phone. But as I entered our bedroom (at the back of the house), the signal in the earbuds started breaking up. I’ve used many earbuds that continue playing just fine even when I walk out of the house and out to our mailbox, which is probably double the distance.

Switching between modes isn’t immediate. There are a couple of seconds of lag between the modes switching. This is likely because moving between ANC and Transparency requires the system to reset and rebuild different DSP pipelines, adjust microphone routing, and apply new tuning profiles. On the NC20 Pro, this process isn’t handled instantly, which results in a noticeable lag.

Now, even though I may have found some features that are more budget-friendly than user-focused, I must say that the audio quality I experienced was amazing. I found that the best sound quality occurred when I used ANC. So, in order to experience music and movie audio, I kept ANC turned on. I listened to a variety of music that spans multiple genres, production styles, and vocal ranges and watched a couple of movies with complex audio tracks.

With ANC turned on, everything I listened to was impeccable. I would even say that the sound quality rivals my Apple AirPods Pro 3. There were subtle nuances in the tracks I mentioned above that are sometimes lost with lesser quality headsets.

When it comes to battery life, I think the earbuds are strong, but it’s important to note that the 80 hours that is advertised refers to the combined playback time of earbuds and the charging case. In my testing, I listened for more than three hours straight with ANC enabled, and the left earbud dropped to 70% while the right was at 73%. This suggests that the earbuds themselves deliver roughly 10–12 hours of continuous use per charge with ANC on.

Conclusion

The TOZO NC20 Pro earbuds deliver impressive sound quality and effective ANC at a very approachable price. They shine in comfort, audio performance, and feature set, including a versatile app and long battery life with the charging case. However, transparency mode is underwhelming, touch controls are inconsistent, and range can be limited. Overall, the NC20 Pro is a solid option for anyone seeking affordable, feature-rich earbuds, especially if ANC performance is a priority.
