Tozo NC9 with ANC
Score: 82/100Rankings
The TOZO NC9 earbuds deliver hybrid active noise cancellation, six microphones, and an IPX8 waterproof rating, backed by a massive 59-hour total battery life. Trade-offs include the absence of wireless charging, modest single-earbud runtime, and no high-resolution codec support. They are ideal for fitness enthusiasts, travelers, and budget-conscious users who want ANC and rugged durability.
The Soundcore P20i are compact true-wireless earbuds featuring 10 mm drivers, 30 hours of total battery life and IPX5 resistance, plus a Soundcore app with 22 EQ presets. Their drawbacks include a loose fit that may slip, no active noise cancellation, and moderate treble detail. They suit bass-focused listeners who value long battery life and app customization over premium ANC.
