In the past, we have been reviewing the audio products of Tozo and giving our readers an honest verdict on the product’s performance, design, and pricing. Today I am once again going to share with our readers, my experience of Tozo Open EarRing. This earbud is priced at Rs.4,300.
Packaging
TOZO OpenEarRing comes in a decent and minimalistic packaging box. On the inside, you will find a case along with the open earbuds and a USB Type-C charging cable. There is also a user manual and quick guide present for the users that helps them in the introduction of the earbuds, pairing with a smartphone, and knowing the various touch control gestures. Behind the packaging box, you will also find the specs mentioned in the product.
Design
It comes with a charging case that features a LED battery indicator on the front while on the back it features a USB Type-C port and a pairing button. Now coming to the earbuds, they arrive with an innovative ear ring-style design, in which the hook sits gently outside the ear. The marking of left and right is present on the earbuds and on the case as well. The charging pin, sensor, and light indicator are present on the side that is supposed to be behind the ear while the side that is supposed to be placed over the ear canal features a speaker and microphone.
Comfort & Compatibility With Tozo App
I was trying an open-ear style earbud for the first time so initially I had a bit problem understanding how to wear them it took a bit of time for me to adjust to this style of earbud as I was used to mostly using in-ear design earbuds. But thanks to the Quick guide provided, I was able to learn how to wear this earbud correctly and after some time I even became comfortable with this Open EarRing as I didn’t have to put any extra pressure from time to time to keep them in place.
I even wore these open earbuds during my evening walk to check whether they are comfortable during a walk or while join, and let me tell you, I felt like this was worth giving a try as earlier I used to use headphones while exercising so that they do not fall (the problem I faced using in-ear earbuds) but now seems like I have a new companion for my walk/jogging sessions. However, it may take you some time depending on ear shape and size.
These earbuds can be controlled through a dedicated TOZO app that lets you customize the touch controls, choose between preset 32 EQ modes, and make one by yourself also that you can save in the app. After connecting the earbuds, the app will show the battery level of both the earbuds. While going to settings you can also check for any OTA updates. I found an OTA available for the Open EarRing and updated it to the latest firmware version.
The TOZO app also lets you easily adjust the bass, treble, and mid-range frequencies so that you can personalize your listening experience. You can also go through the community section where in the EQ Zone you can find the personalized EQ modes of other users as well and with a tap you can use them to see how their preferred modes feel.
Features & Performance
The features of Open EarRing include a 12mm dynamic driver, frequency response range of 20z-20kz, support AAC/SBC codec, ENC call noise reduction, Bluetooth 5.3, and IPX5 water resistance. The earphone is equipped with a 60mAh battery while the charging case is backed by a 400mAh battery. You can charge the earbuds via a USB Type-C port. The earbud weighs 5.1g each.
Coming to the performance of this earbud, the Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity support allowed the earbuds to instantly pair with my smartphone. You can turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone and then you will see the Open EarRing name on the available devices list. Tap on the name and you are all set to explore this earbud. Pairing the earbuds with the TOZO app was also very easy and less time-consuming.
Open EarRing comes with ENC call noise reduction. When I used the earbuds during a call while being out of home the other person was able to hear my voice clearly while I was also able to listen to the other person’s voice clearly.
It arrives with touch controls that let you control music playback, volume up and down, answer a call, and reject a call tapping four times on the left/right earbud will instantly activate the voice assistant. The touch controls can be customized via the TOZO app. Well, I found the touch controls a bit off as sometimes the controls didn’t work instantly or sometimes they were too touch-sensitive.
Compatibility with the TOZO app will also allow you to explore this Open EarRing in a better way for an amazing listening experience. I was also able to explore various listening options. Also, the thing I liked about these earbuds is no matter how loud I listened to music, the sound stayed clear and didn’t get noisy or fuzzy. The water resistance of this earbud is also good as well, making them a perfect companion for workout sessions and traveling.
For someone like me, who likes to listen to podcasts or slow music this earbud offers a great listening experience that can further be enhanced with the TOZO app.
If we talk about the battery life, earbuds along with the case are claimed to offer 40 hours of battery life while the earbud alone is said to offer 10 hours battery. The battery life offered was pretty good as in a week I only charged this earbud two times but I didn’t face the issue of low battery once.
Final Verdict
Talking about the first impressions, the design of the earbud initially became a problem but as time passed I became habitual to the design of this Open EarRing. The music listening experience and battery life were also good especially looking at the pricing which is quite affordable. Whether you love to listen to high-bass music or slow music these earbuds are worth trying,
Using these earbuds while working out has been a great experience as the earbuds fit comfortably during the calls also the experience was above average. The only problem I faced was the touch controls that sometimes didn’t work as intended. Based on my experience, I would rate these earbuds 7 out of 10. For users who wish to stay aware of their environment while listening to music, the TOZO Open EarRing is a good option.
