The TOZO NC7 Truly Wireless are budget-friendly noise cancelling truly wireless in-ears. Like the TOZO NC9 Truly Wireless, you can cycle between their Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) feature and Transparency Mode, which lets in some ambient sound to stay aware of your surroundings. These simple in-ears don't come with a companion app or any customization features for their sound, though, and you can't turn their ANC feature off entirely.
Our Verdict
The TOZO NC7 are adequate for neutral sound. They have a somewhat excited sound profile that adds a little extra thump in the low-bass while pushing vocals and lead instruments towards the back of the mix. Also, sibilants like S and T sounds are piercing, which can be painful to listeners who prefer a more neutral sound. Unfortunately, they don't have any sound customization options.
- Consistent audio delivery.
- No sound customization options.
The TOZO NC7 are very good for commute and travel. Thanks to their ANC feature, they can block out background noises like bus and plane engines and commuters chatting around you. They're portable and decently comfortable, though their deep in-ear fit isn't comfortable for everyone. They have a roughly eight-hour battery life, but if you need to top them off throughout their day, their carrying case supplies an additional two charges.
- Impressive noise isolation.
- Portable, well-built design.
- Okay battery performance.
The TOZO NC7 are impressive for sports and fitness. These well-built, portable in-ears have a breathable design, so you don't sweat more than usual while wearing them. They're stable enough to stay in your ears during light workouts, but they don't have stability fins, and they can fall out during more intense exercises. Also, they sit deep in your ears, which may not be comfortable for everyone.
- Portable, well-built design.
- Good stability.
- No stability fins.
The TOZO NC7 are fair for office use. These headphones offer great noise isolation, so you aren't distracted by the sounds of coworkers talking nearby or the hum of AC units. They also don't leak a lot of audio, so you can crank up the volume without bothering your coworkers. Unfortunately, their deep in-ear fit isn't comfortable for everyone, and their eight-hour continuous battery life may not be suitable for long days at the office.
- Impressive noise isolation.
- Okay battery performance.
The TOZO NC7 aren't compatible with PlayStation or Xbox consoles. You can use them with Bluetooth-compatible PCs and for mobile gaming with your Android or iOS device, but their latency is likely too high to be suitable for wireless gaming.
These wireless-only headphones aren't suitable for wired gaming.
The TOZO NC7 are reasonable for phone calls. Their integrated microphone has a decent recording quality, so whoever's on the other end of the line can understand you, but your voice also sounds thin. The mic also struggles to separate your voice from background sound, so it isn't suitable for making calls from noisy settings. Fortunately, their ANC feature helps you focus on your call.
- Impressive noise isolation.
- Disappointing mic noise handling performance.
