TOZO HT2 Adaptive Hybrid Noise Cancelling Headphones

£58.99

One of my favourite things about a good pair of headphones is testing out the noise cancellation, for me it's one of the main things I look for when purchasing any audio equipment today. I need an ANC that mutes the outside world to make commutes that little bit calmer and makes plane journeys a breeze providing you with your own little audio bubble. Therefore, when I got the chance to test out the HT2 Adaptive Hybrid Noise Cancelling Headphones from TOZO I was excited as they boast a great ANC, supported by 40mm drivers and an always comfortable fit.

Straight out of the box, I was impressed with the quality of the headphones, which have a lightweight frame and super-soft ear pads. We got to test out the headphones in black, with a nice minimalist exterior with only a silver ‘TOZO’ logo on the ear cup. Each ear cup sits comfortably over your ears (my personal preference with headphones) which adds to the comfort of the TOZO HT2s and helps maintain a higher level of noise cancellation. Plus, the headband is adjustable so you can get the perfect secure fit to your head, so that whether you’re relaxing at home or on your morning commute you know they’ll stay in place.

Aside from the comfortable fit, one of the main draws of the HT2 Headphones is its active noise cancellation settings. Across the headset, there are 6 different types of ANC which utilise 3 ANC microphones and a hybrid ANC algorithm to block out external sound and help create your own ANC bubble. The settings are designed to tackle a whole range of environments from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to particularly loud plane journeys. It achieves this by adapting its ANC to the frequency range being exhibited outside the headphones to ensure your listening experience is never interrupted by unwanted noise. However, should you want to hear what is going on around you it also has a transparency mode so you can keep your music going even whilst you’re walking about for added safety. To flick between the ANC and transparency modes, you just have to click a button on the ear cuff, so it is super easy to adapt to your surroundings and needs without having to open the TOZO app or your phone every time.

In terms of sound quality, the HT2 Headphones are pretty good – especially for such an affordable price point. The headphones come equipped with 40 mm dynamic drivers to provide you with your own personal sound stage perfect for whatever type of music or audio you enjoy listening to. I especially liked that via the TOZO app, you can adjust the EQ of the headphones to suit every audio need with 16 pre-set EQs to choose from too. For me the sound was great, no it won’t rival some of the more premium headphone models on the market in terms of both sound and ANC depth, but for the price, it really stands up against others under the £60 price mark simply for its sound quality and adjustable ANC performance.

With each charge, the headphones can carry up to 60 hours of playtime with the ANC off, but even with it on, the headphones will provide you with 40 hours of peaceful bliss. When you are ready to charge again, the headphones come with a USB-C cable to get you charged up and ready for more wireless use. However, if you are a fan of a wired connection, or are using a device without Bluetooth, the headphones also come with a 3.5mm audio jack cable so you never have to be without your music no matter the task.

Overall, I was impressed by the TOZO HT2 Adaptive Hybrid Noise Cancelling Headphones, which deliver a great sound quality, an impressive level of ANC and a super comfortable fit. I could happily wear the headphones all day knowing they’ll feel great and allow me to personalise my listening experience to focus on my work or hear the world around me with just a click of a button. I’d highly recommend these to anyone looking to step into the world of ANC without spending tons for headphones are a much higher price point.

Pros:

• Adaptive ANC to suit a range of needs and noise levels
• Super comfortable fit
• Great battery life

Cons:

• ANC does not block out every sound which you may get from higher price point headphones, but for the price it is still impressive and would suit any regular music listener
