TOZO TonalFits T21 Review AirPod Style Earbuds

Monday, April 22, 2024

With so many choices available, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect pair of wireless earbuds, especially for those watching their wallets. TOZO, recognized for offering reasonably priced yet reliable tech gear, presents the Tonal Fits T21. This review dives deep into whether these earbuds match up to their price and satisfy the demands of savvy users.

At first sight, the TOZO Tonal Fits T21 closely resembles the popular Apple AirPods. Its pod-shaped design with a long stem and absence of ear tips contributes to its universal fit. These earbuds sit outside the ear canal, making them suitable for individuals with sensitive ears and offering a more comfortable and less tiring experience compared to in-ear models.

The Tonal Fits T21 earbuds sport a matte plastic construction with glossy accents and incorporate touch controls for easy operation. Similarly, the charging case follows suit with its plastic build and features an upright flat base design, allowing you to conveniently position it on a desk. Its slim and narrow profile makes it ideal for slipping into a small pocket. However, individuals with larger fingers may find it slightly challenging to remove the earbuds from the case. 

Notably, you can pair and connect the earbuds while they're nestled inside the case. The dimensions of the case measure 5.5cm in length, 4cm in height, and 2.5cm in width, with a weight of 39 grams. Each earbud weighs 4 grams, contributing to their lightweight design. The earbuds integrate a white status led hidden within the metal mesh on the outside of the stem. The status led turns off after connecting so it doesn't blink when listening to audio.

The USB-C charging port is located at the rear, while the front boasts a digital numerical display indicating the remaining battery percentage of the charging case (e.g., 10%). This display automatically switches off after 3 seconds, seamlessly integrated into the case's front panel. When inactive, the digital display remains concealed. Additionally, the charging case lid shuts magnetically and features a hinge with a slight wobble.

The Tonal Fits T21 boasts an IPX8 waterproof rating and a sweat-proof nano-coating, guaranteeing resilience against different environmental conditions, making them ideal companions for active lifestyles. However, the standout feature of these earbuds lies in their customization options, which are easily accessible through the TOZO app.

The Tozo app features 16 preset sound modes, a 10-band equalizer, battery level indicator, and the ability to remap buttons for firmware updates. Moreover, the integration of Dual Mic Call Noise Cancelling technology significantly enhances call clarity by effectively eliminating background noise. With Bluetooth 5.3, these earbuds offer seamless connectivity, ensuring a stable and swift connection across various devices, catering to both workout sessions and professional settings.

Fitted with 14.2mm dynamic drivers, the Tonal Fits T21 provides impressive audio quality considering its affordable price. Though its soundstage may not match that of more expensive models, it delivers a well-rounded and engaging listening experience. While the bass response isn't overwhelming, it offers ample depth, particularly when fine-tuned with EQ adjustments. Although the midrange lacks a bit of detail, vocals maintain clarity amidst the mix without being harsh. With EQ tuning, the high frequencies deliver mostly clear upper-mids with a touch of brightness.

A standout feature of the Tonal Fits T21 is its impressive battery longevity. Each earbud offers up to 5 hours of playback time, with an additional 40 hours provided by the charging case when the volume is set to 50%. The case can be conveniently charged via USB-C cable or wirelessly, taking approximately 2 hours for a full charge via USB-C. The earbuds themselves require about 90 minutes to recharge. Users can easily keep track of battery levels through the LED digital display located on the front of the case.
