If you’ve been hunting for a budget pair of earbuds with Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, support for a dedicated app, and a few premium features tossed in — then the TOZO NC9 Pro might just catch your attention.
We got our hands on this new version and unboxed it live on our YouTube channel. The full unboxing is available to watch here: https://youtu.be/3inn9nsUQYI. This review is proudly brought to you by Headphone Palace, where we test, compare, and break down headphone tech that fits your budget and your lifestyle.
Let’s walk through every single detail, from packaging to performance, so you know exactly what to expect.
📦 First Impressions: Packaging & Presentation
Right off the bat, the TOZO NC9 Pro box feels compact and premium. It’s a square-shaped box, measuring 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches, and weighing around 82 grams. The front features a clean product image, and the sides/back highlight key features like:
- Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation
- Transparency Mode
- TOZO App Support
- Bluetooth 5.3
The box design is minimal but functional — nothing flashy, just clean and clear.
🔍 Product Authenticity Check
Before diving in, it’s important to verify that your TOZO product is genuine. TOZO includes a QR code sticker on the box for this very reason.
Here’s how to check it:
- Locate the QR code sticker on the side of the box.
- Scratch the silver panel to reveal your product’s unique code.
- Visit https://www.china3-15.com/
- Enter the code, click submit, and verify your product’s authenticity.
This gives peace of mind — especially when buying online or from third-party sellers.

🎧 Testing Results
We conducted real-life usage tests in different environments to give you a clearer idea of how the TOZO NC9 Pro performs.
🔊 Microphone Testing
We’ve recorded a live mic test so you can listen and judge the clarity for yourself.
🧪 Environment Tests

| AC Room | ✅ At 50% volume, outside noise is almost completely blocked — excellent noise isolation! |
| Podcast Listening | ✅ Good clarity and voice depth |

📏 Sound Level (dB) Test Results
We used a standard dB meter app and played “Faded” by Alan Walker at 50% volume to measure the sound output.

| 49dB | 59dB | 71dB |
📌 Note: These results are approximate and may vary depending on your environment, device, and distance from the source.

🔋 LED Digital Display – Clear Charging Status at a Glance
The TOZO NC9 Pro charging case is equipped with a smart LED digital display that shows the exact battery percentage of the case. This means you’ll never be caught off guard by a low battery again.
What’s more, it also indicates the charging status of the left and right earbuds individually, so you know exactly when each one is fully topped up.
✅ No more guessing—just clear, real-time battery info right on the case!
⚖️ Measuring the Components
We like being precise here at Headphone Palace, so we measured everything:
- Full box weight: ~82g
- Charging case (with buds): ~43g
- Each earbud (L/R): ~5g each
- USB-C cable length: ~9 inches (approximately)
The USB charging cable included is quite short — not really ideal for desk setups or travel pouches, but it’ll get the job done in a pinch.
Everything feels lightweight but solid — no cheap plastic vibes here.
🔄 A New Feature: Physical Reset Button
One welcome upgrade is the new reset button inside the charging case.
We previously saw this on the TOZO Open Buds, and it’s great to see it here.
It allows for quick resets or re-pairing without complicated steps.
Each earbud features a subtle yet clean TOZO logo on the outer surface, giving it a sleek and branded look without being too flashy.
👍 This is a huge win for those who hate diving into settings menus.
🎧 First Wear – Fit & Feel
Popping the earbuds in, the fit is snug and secure. The tips seal the ears well, which helps with both passive noise isolation and bass response. The overall comfort is impressive — even after 60 minutes of use, there’s no ear fatigue.
We recommend trying different tip sizes for the best seal.
Here are the touchpad controls from the TOZO NC9 Pro manual (as mentioned in the user manual):
🔹 6.0 Operation and Controls
✅ 6.1 Wearing Both Earbuds
- Double-tap the R earbud: Next song
- Double-tap the L earbud: Previous song
- Tap once (L or R): Play/Pause

✅ 6.2 Wearing One Earbud

- Tap and hold: Lower volume
✅ 6.3 Calling Control

🔊 Sound Quality – First Impressions
Here’s where things get interesting. For a sub-$60 pair of earbuds, the sound quality is surprisingly clean and full.
- Bass: Tight and present, not overpowering
- Mids: Clear and balanced, vocals are forward
- Highs: Not harsh, just enough sparkle
- ANC Performance: Excellent for the price
- Transparency Mode: Works decently in quieter environments
While it won’t compete with $200+ ANC buds, the NC9 Pro punches well above its price tag — especially for casual music listeners and podcast fans.
🎮 Low Latency Mode
The Low Latency Mode in TOZO earbuds ensures that audio and visual stay perfectly in sync, making it ideal for gaming, watching videos, or live streaming. This feature dramatically reduces the delay between what you see and what you hear, providing a seamless and immersive experience.
🎧 Key Benefits:
- Real-time sound delivery

Whether you’re battling it out in an online match or binge-watching your favorite series, TOZO keeps you perfectly in sync.
Sure! Here’s a polished and engaging write-up for the TOZO ORIGX Acoustic 2.0 Technology feature:

Charging is done via USB-C (no wireless charging this time).

A major step up from the original NC9 is TOZO App support.
From the app, you can:
- Customize EQ settings

We go step-by-step through the unboxing, measurements, and initial setup.
🎤 6 Mics ENC for Crystal Clear Calls
The TOZO NC9 Pro is equipped with a 6-microphone setup, combining three mics on each earbud to deliver exceptional call clarity.
This feature uses Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology to intelligently filter out background noise—whether you’re on a crowded street or in a noisy café. While two microphones capture your voice, the other four work to detect and suppress ambient sound, ensuring your voice stays front and center.
📞 The result? Clear, professional-sounding calls on the go, even in chaotic environments. Perfect for video calls, virtual meetings, or everyday conversations.
💧 IPX8 Waterproof – Built for Sweat & Splashes
The TOZO NC9 Pro comes with an impressive IPX8 waterproof rating, making it ideal for active lifestyles. Whether you’re sweating it out at the gym, jogging in the rain, or accidentally drop your earbuds in water, they’re built to handle it.
IPX8 means the earbuds can be submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes—without damage.
🛡️ So go ahead—sweat, splash, or rinse—the NC9 Pro can take it. Just remember: the case isn’t waterproof, so keep that part dry!
