Our test unit is the “updated” basic NC9, which is one of several variations of the NC9 that TOZO offers, including the basic, the Pro, and the Plus. If you are purchasing a set of the NC9 standard buds, it is most likely this one, and the packaging should make this clear when it is delivered. The NC9 buds are on the larger side, but the contours do a good job of reducing in size as they approach the ear.
In addition, there are a generous six sets of ear tips (five additional to the one that is currently on the earbuds), with diameters ranging from 10 millimeters to around 16 millimeters. The TOZO NC9 maintains a connection through the usage of Bluetooth 5.0. Connecting can take anywhere from a few of seconds to ten seconds when pairing and re-pairing devices. After the initial pairing, it will operate almost automatically, which is a great feature to have because we are all familiar with how frustrating it can be to try to reconnect earbuds.
We should mention that the TOZO NC9 can be charged wirelessly using a Qi pad, but we should also mention that while it is wirelessly charging, it periodically emits an unsettling sound. The sound is eerily similar of air gently escaping from a soft drink container that has only been partially opened. Additionally, there is a faint rhythmic ticking that almost sounds like the background processing noise on a computer.

Where to get TOZO NC9 Wireless Earbuds?
The TOZO NC9 are a wonderful choice for traveling and commuting. Because they have active noise cancellation (ANC), they are able to block out bass-heavy background noises like the engines of buses and airplanes, in addition to the sounds of people talking around you. Their in-ear form makes them extremely portable, and even though their continuous battery life isn’t perfect for lengthy aircraft flights, their portable charging case makes it easy to power up when you’re out and about.
Even though we do not currently test for it, they have a water resistance rating of IPX6, which is the highest possible certification. Having said that, their cumbersome build might not be comfortable for some of the listeners.
