Recently, Huawei released a new headset freeclip, as an old Huawei user, to be honest, this headset is still quite attractive to me, but this price made me hesitate for a long time, and finally gave up, and then chose tozo open Bluetooth headset that is only half of it.
The reason why I am so keen on open-ear headphones is mainly because I use headphones for a long time every day, and it will be easier to wear them without ears, but one thing also needs to be emphasized that compared with in-ear headphones, it is indeed more difficult for open-ear headphones to obtain the same sound quality, and it is necessary to know more when purchasing.
Because I haven't used Huawei Freeclip, it's not easy to compare the differences between the two, but the performance of this TOZO OPEN Bluetooth headset really surprised me, and it was a second best choice at first, but in the end it became my main headset every day.
TOZO is an internationally renowned consumer electronics brand under TOZO Inc, founded in Seattle, USA in 2015, TOZO covers 120+ countries and regions around the world, it has more than 20 million loyal users around the world, and also won the 2023 American Muse Design Gold Award Open earphones have been used for a while, and I just happened to be free recently, so I would like to share a comprehensive experience for your reference.
Let's start with a simple unboxing. The packaging box of TOZO OPEN Bluetooth headset is relatively small, and after opening the package, I found that it was about the same size as the palm of my hand, and the front was the brand logo and product renderings, which was relatively simple.
There is also a logo and renderings on the back of the box, but it is smaller and more textual.
After opening the box, you can see the earphone box, in addition to the charging cable, manual, warranty card, etc. The color of the earphones is black, white, and pink, this one in my hand is black, pink is more suitable for girls, white is a versatile model, suitable for both men and women, and it may be slightly more fashionable visually than black.
The whole earphone, including the earphone case, is quite light, easy to carry, and can be packed into it whether it is a pocket or a waist bag when you go out. The design of the earphone case is also very simple, the whole is a solid color, the top is a brand logo, the bottom is a number of parameter signs, there is an indicator light below the front opening and closing, and the back is a Type-C charging port.
The texture of the earphone case is not bad, it looks glossy, it feels a little frosted, and the internal structure is designed according to the shape of the earphone, which is very convenient to pick and place.
The structure of the main part of the TOZO OPEN Bluetooth headset is a bit like a smaller version of the headphone case, which is very similar in shape. There is an indicator light on the outside of the earbuds, which will light up when it is turned on. Inside, there is a magnetic charging port and sound driver, and each earbud is equipped with dual microphones that support ENC call noise cancellation.
The earbuds use an over-the-ear design, which is relatively small, so it is quite comfortable to wear. In addition, there is a great room for adjustment in the wearing angle, because it also adopts a horizontal + vertical dual hinge design.
When wearing, the angle of the earphones can be adjusted horizontally and vertically according to the size of the ears and personal feelings, and the 60° longitudinal and 90° horizontal adjustment is very flexible, both adults and children can wear it. Compared with in-ear headphones, there is no problem of replacing ear tips and squeezing the ear canal, making them more suitable for long-term use.
In terms of sound quality, the TOZO OPEN Bluetooth headset is equipped with 142mm large-size dynamic unit,The overall driving force is still quite strong,I tried to turn the volume to the maximum,Continue to listen for more than an hour without feeling the current sound,And at different levels of volume,**High、Medium and low frequency songs have no noise floor,The performance of sound quality purity is quite satisfactory。
The headphones themselves are powered by Tozo's ORIGX20 algorithm, which can enhance the low-frequency response, so it will not be dull in bass performance, but a feeling of abundance and surging. In addition, its sound field is also very open, whether it is vocals or instrumental, it can be expressed with full sound effects.
I usually use headphones in public places, and the interference in these places is usually relatively large, so it is still a test of the quality of the headphones, especially for open earphones, which are more likely to be affected, but TOZO OPEN open Bluetooth headset feels okay in the subway and shopping malls, **very clear, plus it supports dual-microphone ENC call noise reduction technology, and it is completely OK to play**.
In addition, it also supports directional sound transmission technology, combined with open design, on the one hand, it can reduce audio leakage, not only protect privacy, but also avoid disturbing others, on the other hand, it does not need to completely block the ears like in-ear headphones, which can have a good perception of external sounds and improve the safety of wearing headphones.
In terms of control, TOZO OPEN Bluetooth headset supports touch operation, which can be achieved by clicking on the left and right ears, double-clicking, three-clicking, etc.** Pause, answer, cut songs, adjust the volume and other functions.
The functions corresponding to different operations can also be customized in the TOZO official APP, and the APP also supports firmware upgrade for the earbuds.
After binding the headphones, you can also set the sound effect in the app, the default is the standard mode, you can also choose bass+, treble+, classical, vocal, etc. I can't hear much difference between the other modes, but after switching to vocal mode, I do feel that the vocals are clearer, especially when watching some film and television dramas with strong ambient sounds and weak vocals, the feeling is more obvious.
In addition to the previously mentioned, this earphone also has two very powerful features, one is that the battery life is very top, the charging case has a built-in 650mAh battery, and the earbuds have a built-in 70mAh battery, and the official single battery life is 12 hours when fully charged, and it can be used up to 42 hours with the charging case, and there is basically no problem with the actual use of 8-10 hours of single battery life; The other is that it uses Bluetooth 53 technology, not only stable connection, low latency, but also can achieve dual connection and seamless switching, which is very suitable for multi-device scenarios.
In addition, the TOZO Open Bluetooth headset has also passed the IPX6 waterproof level certification, which can prevent damage caused by sweat and rain to a certain extent, and further extend the service life.
In short, if you want an open-back headset that is not so expensive, comfortable to wear, good sound quality, and has a long battery life, I think TOZO OPEN Bluetooth headphones are good in all aspects, and are very suitable for use in sports, commuting, office and other scenarios.
