commando Lead Reviewer
5.5/10Tozo is a brand I've seen on Amazon and wanted to try for some time, so I was quite happy when Tozo reached out and offered their T20 for review.
The short version: These are great in-ear canal headphones particularly given their current price of US$22. Strong bass that extends fairly low, clear midrange, and good highs. I find them comfortable and they have useful touch controls. They lack features like full time noise cancellation that you'd find in more expensive models, but at $22 these are excellent value. Note that other than "value for money" the scores we assign do not take price into account.
Features
The T20 is a low priced canal phone from Tozo, RRP around US$50 but currently available for US$22 on Amazon.com. It's a stem style canal phone similar to the AirPod, with touch controls on each earbud. They come with multiple sizes of tips and a USB-C charging cable, and support wireless charging. There's a handy battery indicator on the front of the case which lights when the lid is opened or closed. Battery life is claimed at 48.5 hours, IPX8 waterproof rating, wireless or USB-C charging.
The Tozo app has a equalizer that works well. It has a good range of ambient sounds such as environmental noises like rain and thunder, forest sounds. It has meeting recording, AI chat, and translation features I didn't try.
The T20 doesn't have full time active noise cancellation, but it does have dual-mic Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology that reduces environmental noise during calls by up to around 35dB, improving call clarity. I haven't tried the T20 in calls yet so I can't comment on its effectiveness. Being canal phones they block some noise, but not as much as active noise cancellation.
Sound
I compared these against the Jabra Elite 5, an $80 model that's a couple of years old that isn't made any more. The source was a Samsung S25 over Bluetooth. Test tracks included Eminem "Cinderella Man", Joss Stone "The Chokin Kind", Diana Krall "I Love Being Here With You", and some dance music. I kept the equalizer on default / flat unless noted.
The T20 impressed me immediately with its low and strong bass, which is significantly better than Jabra. The strong low beats of Cinderella Man came through deep and strong, perhaps a little too strong but the "Bass -" preset helped. The mids and highs were clear, with the highs slightly harsh at times, but this was reduced with the EQ. Moving on to dance music I had similar results, great bass, clear mids, and highs that were slightly harsh but not offensive.
Isolation isn't as good as a noise reduction headphone, but at this price with this sound quality you can't have everything.
Comfort
I've only worn these for a few hours in total, but comfort seems good. The stems make them easy to get into the ears, since the touch controls are on the top of the headphones.
Quirks
One minor quirk is when I set up the Tozo app some of the buttons were covered by my Samsung S25 lower navigation bar, making it somewhat difficult to register. This happens on some apps, but I managed to find a way to click the button.
Conclusion
If you want a relatively low priced headphone with sound quality that punches above its weight, and can live without noise reduction, these are excellent headphones - possible the best price / performance I've seen in any headphone.
