Score: 71/100
Tozo NC9 with ANC
Score: 80/100Rankings
The TOZO NC9 offers hybrid ANC, six microphones and a massive 59-hour total battery life, making it a feature-rich budget option. Its main drawbacks are the lack of wireless charging and a modest 8-hour single-earbud runtime. Ideal for fitness enthusiasts and commuters who value ANC and long battery life without a premium price.
PocBuds T60 are budget-friendly sport earbuds that excel with up to 110 hours of total playback, wireless charging and a secure ear-hook fit. Their sound is modest and the case is bulky, which may deter users seeking premium audio or pocket-sized portability. Best for athletes and travelers who prioritize endurance over high-fidelity sound.
