OpenEgo Open Ear Earbuds Bluetooth Headphones, 5.3 Bluetooth Sport Earbuds with Earhooks for 80Hrs Playtime,32 EQ Modes, Digital Display, Clear Calls, Comfortable Wear for Running, Work, Black

These are my new favorite earbuds. I can no longer wear the earbuds that go in my ears as they get very irritated. I was using Soundpeats for a long time but the pair I was using died. I decided to try these out as a replacement because they were on sale. The sounds quality is great. Music sounds great. My friends say the voice quality is great while we're doing video calls. I find the voice quality on my end just as great. They connect easily to Bluetooth & connect right back without fail to the last Bluetooth device I connected them to. (Only problem is that they do that & sometimes I forget if I use them with my phone to disconnect before going on my laptop.) Best of all is they last about 8 hours or more. My old earbuds never lasted anywhere near that long. These are ultra comfortable so much so that i forget that I have them on. I've left them on for like an hour after getting off a zoom meeting because I forgot they were there. They stay in place too, no matter how much I move around. The case is great too. It's sturdy & stays shut. It supplies about 3 full charges to the earbuds & charges via a USB-C cable which I just plug into my laptop. It shows the percentage charged of the case but not the earbuds. It does indicate when the earbuds are charging & when they're full. I think it takes about an hour or so to charge the earbuds. (Honestly I haven't times it because it's not often I use the full charge of them.) I bought another flavor of the Tozo open ear earbuds but I like these much much better even though the case is a bit larger. These have better sound quality and are more comfortable to wear. If you want to try it some affordable, high quality open ear earbuds then give these a try. I don't think you'll regret it.

I gave these a 5-star rating. If you are not accustomed to this style of earpiece, there are some options that may help your comfort levels. The fit is everything, but these can be extremely comfortable if done right. And otherwise, the tech is excellent. The system connects silly easy, and the app allows for some interesting features. The audio is exceptional, not as loud but this is expected in the open ear. The TOZO app makes the audio easy to handle with 32 Equalizer presets, and a manual setting, if you're feeling adventurous. I like this app idea to tweak the audio, nice going guys. Opens up functions of the product that we didn't have before. Perhaps if I could disable the touch controls on the earpiece through the app? Such as when I am wearing a hoodie or something. So, it doesn't hit the buttons for me when I turn my head? Those functions can be annoying when your sweaty hoodie changes songs. Perhaps you can find some time to make such a feature? I have become a fan of these guys over the years. I have several of their buds over many years. I have gotten every bit of my money out of them. One set was not great, they sent a new set that I still have these 3 years later. Some last 2 years, others many more than that. I started buying backups thinking, well... I'll have another set when these finally quit. I now use 3 of my older sets in rotation, and this OpenEgo, they sent me for being so sweet. They asked me to review it. I use earbuds all day, probably more than most people, and will switch on and off when a set finally runs down. I have gone over 4 hours with this new OpenEgo now, they aren't quitting, but I am, for dinner or something. I have used them for phone calls without incident, the audio was good on both ends. I was not used to the open ear fit, but I learned a trick -just take off yer glasses first... then the Oes fit better, put the glasses over them on your ear. It's the twisting motion that sets them in there, you'll get the hang of it. They don't move around much when I am working in the yard or on the farm. Never fallen off. And I now appreciate not using regular in-the-ear buds all the time. I am a big person, and they are comfortable, even after hours of use, often only needing a slight adjustment now and then. Easy to forget, and I love that they don't mute your hearing like in ear buds do. But there is a time for that and a time to go open ear. I can also wear these OpenEgos under hearing protection for those noisy tractor days, but the in ear buds win that challenge easily. In summary- These sound great, fit great, and last longer than I can, most often. The 5 stars is for the product and those who make it.

I was unsure if they would stay on because they feel like they’re just sitting on your ear. The sensation was unnerving for about an hour. Now I forget that I have them on. No more itchy ears. No ear fatigue. No more asking people to repeat themselves because my ears are plugged with speakers and I can’t hear. I wear Bluetooth earbuds/headphones all day, every day and with these I can hear my music, podcasts, phone calls etc. without blocking my ability to hear. The comfort is amazing once you stop feeling like it has to be jammed in your ear hole to be secure. The touch functions are perfect. Battery life exact time is unknown but it’s really good. I have them on from 7am to 4 or 5pm and I’ve never had a low battery warning. I usually put them in the case for 40 min to an hour after 4pm, then put them back on until after 10:00 pm. I call my wife when I walk out of work every day and with all 8 (various brands) of my other earbuds the wind noise drives her crazy. I couldn’t even crack my car window when I drive because the sound was always horrible and ruins my discussions. With these Tozo Open Air, the wind blowing across the microphones is not heard by her. I don’t understand how the wind isn’t a factor anymore but I’m beyond happy. The first day I used these I walked out of work to really strong wind and I immediately regretted calling before I got in my car, until I realized she couldn’t hear the wind. She said that she thought I was still in my office because my voice was perfectly clear. To me this is a huge win. I only talk on the phone through Bluetooth earbuds and these are the absolute best so far. Here is the worst thing I can say about these open air ear buds: I was listening to a movie in one earbud while driving and I wanted more volume but it was maxed out. The dialog was unusually quiet and my hearing is not the best, plus I had a lot of road noise. I pulled over and I was able to use the app to make eq adjustments and get more volume. That seems more like the movie’s problem. My music, YouTube videos, podcasts and streaming apps all sound great. My phone calls are better than ever. I will definitely recommend these to friends and family. My only concern is a good one to have. We can’t have earbuds on the production floor and I’m afraid to get in trouble because I keep forgetting that I have these on. I literally don’t feel them on my ears. An added bonus is that they don’t interfere with the frames of my glasses when I decide to wear them. Tozo has created some great products. I have 5 different models and I’ve purchased another 6 pairs for my wife and daughters over the past 4 years. Based on all these positive experiences I wanted my first open air devices to come from them and they’ve continued to keep me as a happy customer. I’m big into brand loyalty and Tozo is the only company I know that will offer me new products for free and all they ask in return is that I take the time to write an honest review. I’ll be back for more. I think it’s time to try one of their smart watches. I hope you get these and experience what makes Tozo one of my favorite brands on Amazon and the one brand I’ve returned to more than any other.

Sound quality is very good when listening to music, videos, etc. Deep bass, crisp highs, I almost forgot they’re not actually in my ear, just sitting next to them. They feel like a quality product, nice materials fit and finish as every other TOZO product I’ve had. I got black ones, they have a nice contrast of gloss black and matte soft touch finishes. The case is nice looking, matte black with chrome TOZO lettering on the lid, with a nice opening and closing feel. The case is a bit larger than I’m used to having had several other TOZO earbuds previously(almost double what I’m used to) but not too large overall, about 3x3in square and roughly 1.5in tall. My previous TOZO earbuds had type c charging like this one, but also had wireless charging which these do not have. I like percentage battery life display on the front of the case compared to only dots or light flashes like some other models and brands. I also like that it shows you on the case like some of the other TOZO buds the state of charge of each earbud/earphone as well as the case percentage - those are in “battery lines” tho, but at least you can also see those in your phone anyway so they’re not necessary to have % displayed. If there’s not much ambient noise I can see them getting a bit annoying for others around you because they can kinda hear it too - like a VERY quiet Bluetooth speaker. Tried using the TOZO app as mentioned in the instructions to adjust the equalizer and sound settings, but I could not notice any difference in sound. No bass changed, no treble changed, it all sounded the same to me. Used some of the presets and also manually adjusted the EQ, but nothing I could notice changed. So far the calls I’ve tried to do with just the headphones are terrible. The sound I hear is very quiet - barely audible. Not sure on their end because I kept ggettong hung up on because I couldn’t hear them and they got tired of saying “yes I hear you”, so I had to switch to phone or loudspeaker. Their fit leaves something to be desired for me, I wear glasses and have longer hair - just to my shoulders so I can’t put it all in a pony tail properly. They keep getting tangled in my hair when trying to put them on and with the glasses they keep either fitting loose if the glasses are on the inside, or make my head hurt after a while because the glasses are outside of them and my head keeps getting squished. I also tried them without my glasses for a bit just to see how they fit and feel. They fit better around my ears, but again with longer hair they keep kinda being in the way. I guess that’s just the nature of AROUND the ear headphones vs OVER the ear headphones or earbuds IN the ear. I tuck my hair behind my ears so they keep getting tangled on the hair and, like with the glasses, it’s hard to put the hair behind my ear and if I put my hair back and then the headphones then they don’t quite fit right because the hair is there. It takes forever to put them on because I have to take off hat, glasses and move my hair around bunch of times and adjust the headphones like 3 times before they’re ok. Also anytime I have to readjust my hair or glasses I keep knocking them off my ears, partly because I’m still getting used to the earphones being there, and partly because they’re on loosely around the ears so they get really annoying quickly if I’m being active. I bet with short hair, or if your hair is long enough to fully keep in a pony tail, braids etc they would stay better. I understand they have to make a generic fit product, it can’t just be tailored specifically to only my ears, or they’d never sell any, and custom fit would be too complicated, expensive and time consuming. Overall they feel very light, and by themselves they feel somewhat comfortable but for me they feel very unstable like they’re going to just fall out any second. Not too tight around the ears so they don’t hurt my ears or my head, but still feel loose. I tried to use them with the silicone “braces” they provided(supposed to be for more active use, to help keep them in place more securely), but they feel even less secure in my ears. Because of the long hair and glasses they just don’t sit where they need to be, so they don’t “hook” properly in my ears and fall out every time I turn my head quickly and it’s not very pleasant or comfortable for me. I’ve noticed when I put them in the case they sometimes still just keep playing and sound like the world’s weakest Bluetooth speaker - which they kinda are by design…if you think about it. So I’ve had to keep checking they’re actually charging in the case, instead of in my pocket wasting battery.

I've been impressed with the sound quality of TOZO products in general and this item did not fail to impress. Compared to another great pair of open-ear earphones called the TOZO O2, this is actually a great upgrade in terms of a secure over-ear fit. It sits on my ears with a solid weight that doesn't let me forget that I have them on, but the included wingtips (which I needed to put for a more secure hold) can poke uncomfortably after a while. The open-ear design does affect the punchiness of the beats in my workout favorites, but overall the sound is well-balanced. The drivers are in fact capable of producing very low bass frequencies which you can hear by pressing the earphones close to your ear - they just get sort of lost in the air between the grille and the ear canal. It also does nothing to block out wind noise around me so this is not ideal for running or bicycling. It will do pretty well when you're outdoors in calm air. If you do crank up the volume, anybody nearby will hear what you're listening - there is no noise isolation. On calls, the microphones do cut out a bit of ambient noise so even if you might have to raise the audio output volume to hear your caller better, you will be pretty clearly audible to them. Bluetooth pairing is simple and signal range is great, but it does lack multiconnect - you can pair it with multiple devices, but it only connects to one at a time (so while you'd register these earphones on both devices, you'd have to disconnect it from your tablet where you're watching a video to reconnect it to your phone to take a call). There was no noticeable latency with the bluetooth connection to my phone and audio-video syncing was great. I'm not a gamer, but I think it would do pretty well with audio for games too. The charging cradle is nicely lightweight, but a bit large since these earphones are in fact pretty bulky. Its exterior is a great matte finish that resists fingerprints and grime really well. However, there are other TOZO products at a similar price point for which the charging cradles are capable of recharging themselves wirelessly. It hasn't been a feature I really rely on, but I've found it to be helpful a couple of items. I'm only noting this point because the cradle is quite large and so I assumed that it would be wireless charging capable. The LED displaying the charging status and the remaining capacity is a great feature but I wish that instead of a percentage, it just shows how many recharges per earphone remains. I do understand the difficulty in implementing something like that, but it would be an amazing feature. I haven't tested the play time, recharging time (of either the cradle or the earbuds), or the number of recharges the cradle is capable of - it seems sufficient for daily use and doesn't need plugging in for a couple of days or so. I have also not tested the water resistance of the earphones - I don't intend to - but I trust the rating. I have yet to find a charging cradle that also has its own water resistance feature so that's nothing against this item - just an idea for designers and manufacturers to consider. Personally, I don't like to use touch controls on earphones for certain activities like yoga or calisthenics because of unintentionally sending commands to audio apps. For example, on this item, your shoulder even through a shirt sleeve will register as a touch command. But unlike other pairs I've tried before, the touch control on this one has a pretty large surface area. The touch functions are similar to other TOZO products, so there is nothing new to learn to control playback, volume, calls, etc. I really like that you can power these earphones off and back on even when the charging cradle is not handy - sometimes wireless earbuds require reseating in the cradle for that. Overall, this is an excellent piece of audio equipment. For indoor use while at a desk, on your couch, or when you're out taking a stroll or hopping transit vehicles, these are excellent for podcasts, watching videos, or taking calls while remaining aware of your surroundings. Regarding the open-ear design, I wouldn't recommend it for exercise or for enjoying very fine nuances in music.

For the past several years, I have listened to music and podcasts primarily through true-wireless noise canceling earbuds, including TOZO NC7s as well as high-end offerings from Jabra and Sony. While those have been great for working in noisy environments such as mowing the lawn or using my woodworking tools, my partner frequently complains that she can’t get my attention because of how well the noise canceling works on those devices. So when I heard about the concept of open ear headphones, I decided to give them a try despite my skepticism as to whether the sound could possibly be as good as it was with my earbuds. Having had prior good luck with TOZO products, including multiple sets of earbuds and the TOZO PB2 PD Fast Charging Power Bank, I thought it would be worth a try to check out the TOZO OpenEgo true wireless open-air headphones. They arrived promptly in packaging that was nice without being wasteful. The case is by necessity rather large, but the headphones fit in very neatly and the magnets are adequate to hold them without being so tight as to resist removal. In addition to clear instructions, the package included a USB-A to C cable and a pair of open-cell foam “braces” that fit snugly on the back end of the headphones to provide a more secure fit during vigorous exercise. Since the headphones are comfortable either with or without the braces, I just leave them on all the time. And because these headphones don’t fit within the ear canal, there is no need for the multiple sizes of earbud tips necessary for in-ear headphones. At first it seemed strange that the speaker portion of the headphone doesn’t touch the ear canal at all, but I was immediately impressed by the sound quality. The sound is very balanced, with adequate bass without the “boominess” often present with tightly sealed earbuds. I also feel that the sound stage seems larger and more three dimensional than many earbuds. And my main concern, that ambient sound would interfere too much with the music, turned out to be no problem at all in most environments. Meanwhile, my partner is happy that she can now get my attention when I’m listening to music with the OpenEgos. I haven’t done a quantitative test of battery life, but my first impression is that the battery life is more than adequate and charging times are reasonable as well. While open-air headphones won’t replace my noise-cancelling earbuds for activities in noisy environments, these OpenEgo headphones have certainly found a place in my toolbox of listening devices. In summary, based on my initial listening experiences and my excellent prior experience with TOZO product reliability and customer service, I would highly recommend these TOZO OpenEgo open-air headphones. I was initially skeptical of the open-ear headphone concept, but these OpenEgos certainly changed my opinion, and if you share that skepticism, I think they will change your mind as well. PS: My cat liked them too (see photo)

I've never owned open ear buds before. There are so many to choose from. I read the reviews. Some are good, and some are bad. Some are expensive and some are cheap. I chose TOZO as they get great reviews for a low price. I'm used to earbuds with ear tips. But the downside, is it bothers my ears after more than an hour. And if you irritate the ear canals, it becomes inflamed and itchy. Playing music at higher volumes, can damage your hearing. When I walk around in public, I didn't notice vehicles behind me until they honked or the drivers made gestures which I knew, it was my fault for not paying attention. So I bought these. My first open ear buds. I was amazed with the sound they put out. Listening to podcasts, talk and music was great. However, the downside is I had to raise them to high volumes. With in-ear buds, the volume levels were low because the ear tips were inside the ear canals. With these, the ear buds sit outside your ears. Open earbuds have some noise isolation. You can hear people talking, dogs barking and vehicles driving by. Although, if you raise the volume, it will drown them out. Wearing them is good. I have some ear irritation. I can wear them for long periods, but there is fatigue. The one downside with ear hooks, is they can bother you if you're not used to it. These are a little hard. It feels a little weight on your ears. Some people will feel the top of their ears a little pressure around your ears. When you take them off, there is an after effect of wearing them, and it'll go away after a while. The great thing with ear hook earbuds, is you know the earbuds are on you, even when you do exercise, jogging, bicycling or running, it won't come off. Making phone calls is also excellent. People hear me just fine, even in light to modest, windy conditions. The same with noise. Light to modest noise is fine, but anything beyond that, people will hear it. I can drive with the windows down, and people hear me well. The controls can take some time to get used to. You have full controls, however they can be difficult to use. At first, I gave them a five star but lately, it's gotten bad. When I press them on my phone, they don't pause, skip tracks or take phone calls. It does work on the PC. So I don't know what the issue is. I hope Tozo will fix it with an update. In the end, I love these. Better than having in-ear buds. TOZO is a great company that puts out great products for a low price.

Studies show that the open-ear design actually reduces strain on your ears during long listening sessions, and I’ve really noticed the difference. I’ve been using Bluetooth earbuds for years, and these are easily the most comfortable and practical ones I’ve ever owned. At first, the fit felt a little strange, almost like they might fall off. But within an hour, I forgot I even had them on. That pressure and irritation that usually comes with in-ear, traditional buds just isn’t there. I can wear these all day without any discomfort, and I really appreciate that. The battery life is also excellent. I typically use them from early morning until evening and have never hit a low battery warning. A quick recharge in the case gives me enough to keep going late into the night. Likewise, the sound quality is clear and well-balanced across music, podcasts, and video. Bass noise is more subtle, which is expected with an open-ear design, but everything still sounds full and natural. The Tozo app is also a major plus, as you can adjust the bass level or any other EQ to your preferred settings. The fit is solid too. The included rubber tips help keep them secure, even when I’m moving around or wearing glasses. They don’t clash with my frames at all, which is something I’ve had trouble with in the past. Moreover, touch controls take a little getting used to but work smoothly once you find the sweet spot. I also really like the display on the case that shows the charge level. Most earbud companies do not provide this, and it’s a small detail that makes a big difference. Overall, TOZO continues to impress me with how much value they pack into their products. If you want earbuds that are comfortable, reliable, and sound great while still keeping you aware of your surroundings, these are a good buy.
