TOZOO2 True Open Ear Wireless Headphones Lightweight with Multi-Angle Adjustment, Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds with Dual-Axis Design for Long-Lasting Comfort, Crystal-Clear Calls for Driving, Black

It's been quite a ride trying to find a wireless pair of headphones for running and working out. Every in-ear bud I've had has had one ear go out - which I think is more of a me issue than the buds that I've tried. Even the buds that just sit in the ear have died on me after a few months.I've had the TOZO O2 open ear buds for about 8 months now and they've been great. You aren't getting "premium" sound, but what you do get is actually pretty good. It's bassy and full sounding but a little muddled compared to in-ear options. What is really nice is that you can hear your surroundings quite well. This is great for jogging or working out, or even listening to music in an office while you want to be able to hear what's going on around you. The only problem is if you are running on a busy street you really have to crank the volume to hear your music. The sound quality is clearly a step above the many budget buds I've tried.The TOZO True Open Ear buds are also extremely comfortable. They adjust to whatever position you need them in, and I've forgotten that I had them on sometimes. Like I mentioned, they have worked great for working out. No fear of them falling out, no issues with light rain or sweat. The best workout set I've used.Call quality is good and no one seems to have a hard time hearing me, so no complaints there.I did run into an issue where a piece of the plastic on the joint between the over ear piece and the bud broke. This is a little disappointing but I use the buds almost daily, and often in less than ideal conditions. Even with this issue, this is the longest lasting TWS bud I've had in years. Functionally, the unit still works but I was concerned about the water resistance, so I reached out to customer support. Customer service responded in less than 12 hours and is shipping out a replacement unit. 5* support right there.When I'm already convinced I like the product, and customer support is top notch on top of that? A very, very easy recommendation from me.

A little background: I’ve been a fan of tozo since I tried out the a1 minis. They were my first set of wireless earbuds, and I honestly could have saved myself a lot of time and money if I just stuck with them instead of going on a journey / into the rabbit hole of trying to find a “perfect” set. While I did find some others I enjoy, the simple fact is that those A1 minis are the ONLY ones that stay in my ears. Fit has to come first for me. I currently have two sets and will continue to replace them as needed (just due to the natural battery drain over time with heavy use).On to the review for this product:I never really knew about the “open bud” concept, but as I am trying to get into a more active lifestyle, I both was looking for something that I could trust in the fit and would allow me to have more awareness of my surroundings if I’m taking some time to walk or run outdoors. I happened to come across these and because I’ve already had good experiences with tozo as well as the fact that they seemed to check all my boxes, I purchased them.The price point I believe is more than fair, especially when compared to higher price-tag models that may or may not be “better”. I’ll always appreciate the affordability of these products and the frequent discounts offered.The open ear concept again was not something I’d been familiar with, at least in the last two decades really; I was reminded of my days in school and on the bus wearing the simple headphones of the early aughts with a wrap-around design. We have (obviously) come a long way with audio technology since then. I wasn’t sure at all what to expect from this current iteration of that idea. The sound quality honestly blew me away. They seem able to maintain the generally (in my experience; I’m not an audiophile) much higher sound quality of over-ears vs wireless buds.The fit is just about as customizable as it can get, and I’d imagine most people would not struggle with fit on these. For me, as someone with small ears that cannot seem to contain regular wireless buds (aside from the a1 minis) and one ear with a shattered cartilage deformity, I’m a tricky fit. If you’re used to the plugged sensation of in-ears, it can feel a bit strange at first, but they’re so easy to adjust and get them in the right position for you. Once on and adjusted, the freedom of not having something shoved into your ear canals is awesome. I will admit when wearing them for several hours I got a bit of an ache around the ear hooks, but that’s typical for me even just wearing sunglasses for an extended period of time. I’d say they’re no more intrusive than glasses, and they’re encased in foam for more comfort.I had no issues with any sound leakage; perhaps at full volume that may happen but I never push the volume that high anyway. And again, the sound quality is fantastic imo. On par with any of my over-ears (admittedly I have not tried many of the very high-priced models, but I am more than pleased with these). That sound quality remains great while allowing you to hear what’s going on around you. Noise canceling has its place, but so does the open ear concept (oftentimes you’ll see ANC buds that have a transparency mode for this effect).The case is great if not the most “stylish” or rugged in and of itself; the buds snap in securely without having to fiddle with anything as I often do with other buds. Those magnets are strong but not so much that taking them out of the case is difficult.As far as battery life goes, I was ecstatic to see the long life advertised, and the one night I had them on all throughout / while sleeping, they still had some life left when I woke up. They may not quite reach what is stated but I’ve found that’s common for most wireless buds. 8 hours is plenty for me, and to be able to reach 10-12 if not the full 15 that was quoted is far superior to any buds I’ve owned before. But I never wore them for that long anyway, which brings me to the one issue I had, which was a bit of a static sound in the left bud that would start up when any audio was being played but would stop when the audio was paused.I reached out to customer service about this and they guided me through troubleshooting options, and when we came to the conclusion that no troubleshooting could solve the issue, I was sent another pair, no strings attached. I am eagerly awaiting their arrival. I always got a response from their customer service agents within hours, maybe within a day at max, throughout the whole process. They were easy to work with, friendly, and understanding.Overall I’d definitely recommend these. I considered docking a star due to the static issue, but customer service was so great that I don’t feel it’s necessary to do so.I’m very much looking forward to the new set they are sending me, and I know I will get a lot of use out of them.
