When you remove the buds from the case, they start with both ANC and transparency off. To return to normal mode, put them back in the case and repair them.
Nice review, for me these are definitely the best ‘all-rounder’ stem-style earbud at this price point, as it stands, but the market is moving so fast this year!
Hi Sozen, great review as always! I'm glad you got a chance to check these out because I've been really impressed with the NC2s. I think they are the best earbuds TOZO has put out to date. That bass is thumping and once you apply an EQ to them, you can get a really nice overall soundstage out of these. I knew these got loud but 104db? Wow! As for the ANC/Ambient on/off modes, someone mentioned on your review of the NC7s that if you manually power the earbuds while out of the case, you have effectively engaged ANC off mode. Once you put them back in the case then remove them again, they remain in ANC off mode until you engage ANC on/Ambien modes again. I know it's clumsy but that does seem to work. Thanks again for a really nice review! Best Regards!
Hi DZMJ - yes, you really have to put them back into the case and take them out again. The long press doesn't work in my experience (i can't turn them back on, even after 20+ seconds touching the MFB - which is ridiculous anyways.) I don't find it to be much of an issue on these, the sound quality is affected as much, imo, as on the NC7's.
@@SoZenGadgets Yes, I agree with you there. I don't understand why TOZO just doesn't take the time to include an ANC off function. If this feature was on available on this pair in particular, they would sell more of the NC2s for sure. I think they are the best earbud TOZO has produced so far. Best Regards
Usually no air bud stay in my unusually large ears but these do even when I am eating, skating, scootering etc. the big bonus with these that I didn’t expect is connectivity even in my car, if I get a call in the car and like to keep it private I can and not lose any connectivity between my phone or car. Excellent product and good review. Thank you
Best review hands down! Ima a truck driver currently use the t6 with some people having slight difficulties hearing me so i speak louder but looking forward to these i hope theyre an improvement.
imo, the NC2 are a big upgrade in performance, features and mic quality. overall soundwise, the T6 are still very good, but the NC2 will have more bass and all those features. LMK how they work out for you
The bass of this is super magnificent when put on ANC mode. Hifi on transparency and surround sound on ANC . Use jabra eartip style because it’s more occlusive. Or use the flat top eartip of NC7 and it’s going to be more wonderful. Jabra eartips are flat on the top and short length wise. They are the best if you want to harness bass or occlusion.
Great review as always! I am usually in either Ambient or ANC mode anyway, so that's not a deal breaker for me. Also in honor of the original KK vs. Godzilla, I'm gonna watch it wearing the longest latency earbuds I can find to mimic the 70s terrible dubbing track.
Lmao, my pairs are arriving today. It'll probably have the same sound quality as the Boltune's elite hybrid I tried out but returned almost a month later due to questionable reliability concerns, plus i like the over all design of the tozos, they look exactly like airpods with the smaller stem design.
I got the SoundPeats T2 but I’m returning them and trying the NC2. The T2 is too finicky.. half the time only one earbud works and I can’t get the other one to connect unless I put it back on the case.
I just got the tozo t6 and my biggest problem is that the case won't ever turn off all the lights, it seems like they haven't thought of fixing this problem in they're newest product.
Witch earbuds are you using right now? witch of them do you indicates do work on office, or studying and stay with them all day long? i really need some wth comfort and, baterry and very good ANC.
Thanks for the review. I’m really interested in these. I have they have great bass and get loud. I like loud with great booming bass. I see you like all kinds of music, try Duran Duran come undone song or some good George Michael spin the wheel song. Those are just a few with a lot of different music.
I think you may have understated the wind noise issue. With ANC on or off the slightest breeze sounds like a hurricane inside the earbuds. They sound great indoors, but a jog or bike ride is just out of the question. I'm sending them back.
out of curiosity, what buds do you use while running? I still use the MPow Flame Lite & Solo - but both suffer from wind noise while running. I don't mind because I like the awareness of hearing traffic at the same time and also not hearing my footsteps pounding the pavement.
Excellent review. I bought a pair and really like them. Regarding your comment about not being able to use them in "off" mode, for my NC2 earbuds, they are always in the off mode when I take them out of the case, but can still stream music, etc. Tapping the left earbud once puts them in ambient mode and tapping again puts them in ANC mode. Subsequent taps then just cycle between ambient and ANC modes. Once you put them in one of those two modes, you are correct that they cannot be put back into "off" mode until you put them in the case and take them out again. Personally, I don't like this feature. I wish they would come out of the case in whatever mode you last had them in, such as with my Airpods Pro, but I am willing to live with it, as the performance is excellent. I create audiograms of many earbuds and exam 11 frequencies of noise and these earbuds are outstanding, especially at frequencies below 1000 Hz. Love your channel.
SoZen, use the following website, which is an excellent source for performing an in-home audiogram. Find a quiet place and calibrate the sound like it instructs you to do and you will find the results match very closely what you will get from a professional audiogram. It makes an excellent comparative tool, also. If you scroll down in the website, you will see selections for "Alt low" and "Alt high" frequencies. By selecting each of these, it adds additional frequencies to the audiogram measurements, for a total of 11 frequencies. hearingtest.online/hearingTest.php?s=nB_250_25nB_375_25nB_500_40nB_750_40nB_1000_30nB_1500_40nB_2000_35nB_3000_40nB_4000_40nB_6000_30nB_8000_60
In addition to what I wrote below about the audiogram website, you can also check you natural hearing against a particular set of earbuds and determine exactly how many decibels the earbuds are reducing at each frequency.
@@gregs5738 thanks Greg! I'll check it out. All of my anc impressions are based on measurements across the audio spectrum from 100hz, at 100hz intervals until 1000hz, then I jump to 1000hz intervals because anc doesn't do much above 1000 hz, only passive isolation. You can see my measurements chart in this video. ua-cam.com/video/l15ydepWPiU/v-deo.html
I have both and like them both the NC-7 has more accurate and crisp sound with perhaps a slight emphasis on treble to maintain the overall clarity with out being sibilant and still have accurate bass that is tight and fast not overly boosted with instruments and vocal clearly being the priority is with a good sound stage. The NC-2 as Sozen says here really are bass powerhouse yet surprisingly not muddying up the mids or highs, as although the bass is strong it does not overpower the mids and highs so the treble is just elevated enough to make the sound more pleasing and with the mids not being ressesed the overall result is a very plesant and fun sound perhaps not as clinical as NC-7 that focuses more in clarity and accuracty. The ANC both on NC-7 and NC-2 are equally good not Apple Airpod or Sony XM-3 level quality but still very good and quite noticeable in the NC-2 ANC broad range that comes across noticeably stronger. The only nag I have on NC-7 is the high pitch feed back noise they make sometimes when they are taken out or put batch on the case, not a deal breaker for me more like annoyance. Last, both the NC-7 and NC-2 support wireless charging NC-2 so as far as the wireless charging your are set no matter which one you pick. Which one to choose is purely based on your particular sound signature pregerence, Clinical or Overall fun and if the broad ANC frequency range is what you are after in which case the NC-2 would be the better one of the two.
Tozo nc2 or boltune elite. Honestly I've spent the past 3 days scouring all over reddit, forums and YT and it has come to these 2. For me I wanted good sound with good anc and good fit for the gym and these seem to tick all the boxes. The ANC obv will not be as good as the 200 dollar buds but I don't want to spend 200 dollars for anc that is at best a little better that the hybrid anc these have. The ambient mode on nc2 is louder and better than the boltune, Apollo and t2 if that's important to you. For me it is because taking out your buds all the time because of crappy ambient modes is annoying, with good transparency mode you won't have to. Only peeve with nc2 is not being able to turn anc or transparent mode off and having to put it back in the case to reset it. This isn't an issue for me because knowing it has good ambient mode I plant to always leave it in this mode or anc anyway.
Hello SOZen Gadgets I Agree, The Bass is CRUSHING My Name is Samuel Sanchez. I am the National Sales Manager For TOZO. Thank You For the Honest Reviews. Samuel,
The mic quality seems not that clear. I think Pamu Quiet has better and clearer mic quality, however, the battery life on Pamu Quiet is only around 3.5 hr
I'm with you, i believe in burn in. The sound will improve with use. Give time and almost all earbuds will improve the sound. The ears will also get used, but, for me, that is not the only part of the equation, as many people argues.
Idk specifically but I use whatever cable or charger I have around. The buds won't charge any faster using a high speed charger, best make sure the charger is capable of charging at slower speeds
After owning and returning both the NC2 and T2, I personally thought the NC2 sounded better for music. For calls, however, the T2 wins as I have no complaints about people hearing me (whilst I had issues with NC2). My T2 for calls wasn't perfect though, but I was told the new firmware fixes some bugs.
Sound wise NC2 wins . Bass is magnificent and better and the soundstage is like surround sound ones ANC is on . Soundpeats T2 call is actually good and it does not totally give occlusion so no thumping sound when running. Try the Jabra style eartip if you wanna harness more bass or more occlusion. They are flat on top and they are short.
I got the SoundPeats T2 but I’m returning them and trying the NC2. The T2 is too finicky.. half the time only one earbud works and I can’t get the other one to connect unless I put it back on the case.
@@sheryne011 when I contacted Soundpeats support team, they said we couldn't upgrade the firmware from home which is why I decided to return the buds. ie they'll update the firmware during their manufacturing/release process.
Shame that indoor mic is poor quality despite having 6 mics like the Galaxy Bud+. Basically a dealbreaker for me. Otherwise the rest of the features seem really good. I have the NC9 and the noise cancelling is good on that too. Just wish it had a low latency mode and a decent mic and we'd finally have something comparable to the Earfun Free Pro

Just had to make one more post about these buds. These are the best buds I've ever listened to hands down. The best.
Awesome Mr Vegas!
I just want to know do they get loud... I don’t want to hear my mower or weed eater. Let me know. Thanks
@@Jeff-xn1ew these are definitely loud! Plus with ANC, you will easily overpower the sound of your mower
