The TOZO HT2 are a pair of wireless overhead headsets that have a good design, are well built and use Bluetooth 5.3 for their connectivity.
In terms of the design, these headsets have an all-black plastic casing and internal metal beams to reinforce the headband. The headsets can be height adjusted and the earcups do rotate both ways to accommodate multiple storage positions.
Speaking of storage, the TOZO HT2 can be folded into their storage position and thus take less room inside your bag.
The TOZO HT2 are made from plastic on the outside and have metal beams on the inside. This type of construction is not new as the metal beams are used for the height adjustment of the headband. It is good to see that Tozo did not do any cost cutting when building the height adjustment system, as this is a major failure point for headsets.
The headband is padded with soft leather and foam underneath. It is comfortable and should last a long time if you do not expose it to moisture for too long. This moisture warning is often found in synthetic leather pads such as this one.
The drives used on the TOZO HT2 are 40mm dynamic drivers. These are the standard nowadays but they do work and sound well. They are installed behind the protective mesh of each earcup.
The mesh used on the earcups has the L and R symbols placed for the Left and Right earcups. It’s nothing fancy but it’s a useful feature that is sometimes missing on headsets.
The controls of the TOZO HT2 are located on the right earcup, on the lower part to be specific. Here you have multiple buttons with good tactile feedback: power button and a dual mode button for lowering and increasing the volume.
Below these, you have the standard 3.5mm audio jack to connect the headsets to your computer, notebook or smartphone.
Next to the audio jack we have a standard USB Type C port to charge the internal battery of the headphone. The NC mode is basically a simple switch to toggle between the different noise canceling modes available with the HT2.
Testing
The ergonomics of the TOZO HT2 are good, with a lightweight construction and soft pads on the ear side. They sit well on your head, and the adjustable head band is solid once adjusted. The foam pad that makes the contact with the top part of your head is also soft and pleasing to the touch.
The battery life is good for a pair of headsets of this size, with around 60 hours of continuous usage. However, if you turn on the noise canceling mode then the battery life drops to around 40 hours of usage. I say around because I was able to get either 40 or 42 hours of usage out of the headsets, so your mileage might vary.
The sound is good, as the Tozo HT2 headsets use only 40mm drivers on each earcup, which is the standard nowadays but, they do sound good. The low and mid frequencies are good, the treble is clear, and the bass is strong enough to make its presence known but not too strong to cover the mid-range frequencies.
However, this is only when the headsets are in wireless mode, and when you connect them with a cable, the sound signature is different, as the 40mm drivers are allowed to use more power since.
In wired mode, you gain access to the high-res mode which his obvious because you are now using a 3.5mm jack to connect the headsets to what is a superior audio source than your smartphone via wireless connectivity. If you use a decent notebook or even a dedicated DAC, the bass is flatter, but the rest of the frequencies gain a bit more power and clarity and overall, the sound signature gets better and more balanced.
In terms of the voice calls and sound quality in a call, this is what you can expect. The sound is good enough for the other person to understand you and that’s about it, there’s nothing special about the sound quality here, I’d call it decent.
The Tozo app is similar in design with the Tozo app use don their Bluetooth wireless earbuds, I mean, why wouldn’t it be, given that it’s the same brand and it does the same job. You get multiple sound effects which are nothing more than equalizer profiles and the option to create and use a custom equalizer profile.
