Packaging, Design & Build
The TOZO T10 earbuds come neatly packaged in a white box, containing the essentials: earbuds, charging case, USB-C cable, replacement earbuds, and manuals. Notably, a power adapter or protective case cover is not included. The package comprises:
- TOZO T10 earbuds
- Charging case
- USB-C charging cable
- Replacement earbuds in six sizes
- Quick start guide and user manual
The charging case features a sleek matte-textured plastic design, equipped with a USB-C port and four LED lights indicating battery status. Pairing the Tozo T10 is effortless: simply remove an earbud from the case, and it instantly enters pairing mode, seamlessly connecting to your smartphone.
Compact and pocket-friendly, the case’s lid opens and closes smoothly, with earbuds securely magnetizing into place. Whether you’re working out, running, or hiking, these earbuds are perfect for activities.
Gesture controls for playback, volume, and calls enhance convenience, although they may require some adjustment. However, with practice, they function effectively, particularly for activities like jogging where phone access is limited.
The TOZO T10 lacks active noise cancelling and an accompanying app, offering minimal extra features. Each earbud features a touch-sensitive panel on the side, with the overall design being straightforward, featuring a typical stemless look and smooth plastic build.
Although comfortable, the earbuds lack physical features to securely hold them in place, emphasizing the importance of finding the right size ear tip. TOZO includes six additional pairs of ear tips in different sizes and shapes.
With an IPX8 waterproof rating, the earbuds are fully submersible up to 1 meter, although Bluetooth signals cannot penetrate underwater. The microphone delivers clear sound in quiet environments but may sound muffled in noisy settings, yet remains functional.
Performance & Audio Quality
The TOZO T10 offers a sound profile typical of budget earbuds, with noticeable emphasis on bass and high-end frequencies. While this may suit some listeners, it could be distracting for those seeking a more balanced sound, deviating from typical headphone response curves.
Particularly, the bass on the TOZO T10 can be overwhelming, drowning out other details in the audio, especially noticeable during tracks with heavy bass elements. The microphone quality for phone calls is subpar, often resulting in muffled and quiet sound with noticeable processing artifacts, requiring repetition for clarity.
Considering its price, the audio performance of the T10 is commendable, offering an immersive soundstage with good separation between sound elements. The left and right channels have noticeable distinction, with most sounds positioned away from the center of the mix.
The mid-range is balanced, showcasing fullness and realism in instrument reproduction, with impressive organization in the mix. The highs are clean and even, without being harsh. Overall, the TOZO T10 offers a satisfactory audio experience, particularly considering its affordable price point.
The microphone delivers clear sound in quiet environments but are muffled in noisy settings, albeit still functional.
Connectivity and battery
The TOZO T10 features Bluetooth 5.3 for quick and stable pairing. Opening the case initiates seamless connectivity with minimal delays, offering about 10 feet of range before experiencing lag.
Each earphone has a 40mAh capacity, providing 6-8 hours of usage depending on usage intensity. The 400mAh charging case offers 2 to 3 additional charges, extending total battery life. Recharging is fast; simply place them in the case, which fully charges in approximately 1.5 hours for uninterrupted music enjoyment.
TOZO T10 Review Verdict
