To ensure comfort during prolonged use, the earbuds sport an asymmetrical design that securely fits the ear. The control buttons seamlessly blend with the overall headphone design. While they may initially feel slightly tight on the top of the ear, a brief adjustment period is needed the most comfortable position. Once properly adjusted, these earbuds offer excellent comfort, thanks to its lightweight construction and flexibility.

The TOZO OpenReal earbuds feature an IPX8 certification, meaning they are safe to be used without worrying about sweat or water damage. To charge the headphones, the earbuds support a proprietary port which can be connected to a charger or laptop.

Features & Audio Quality

The TOZO OpenReal stands out with its dual-mic active noise cancellation, effectively reducing ambient noise. However, it lacks support for connecting multiple devices, which could have been an additional advantage.

Pairing the earbuds via Bluetooth is simple: for initial pairing, just turn them on, and for pairing with another device, turn them off and back on while holding the power button for at least 3 seconds. A beeping sound confirms successful pairing.

When it comes to audio performance, the TOZO OpenReal impresses with its 16.2mm dynamic drivers, delivering balanced bass and clear sound throughout the spectrum. The performance is immersive and quite satisfactory for all kinds of music.

The noise cancellation works well for outdoor activities, providing effective isolation from external noise for greater immersion. However, at high volume levels, slight sound leakage is noticeable.

Connectivity & Battery

The TOZO OpenReal utilizes a 120 mAh battery and charges using a proprietary port. On paper, the headphones can provide up to 14 hours of playback with noise cancellation at 50% volume. In our test, we were able to achieve about 12 hours of usage.
