TOZO Golden X1 review - "Feels like luxury"
  • LED Battery Life Display inside Case
  • Customisational options for sound and touch movements
  • Sleek and fantastic design

You know when you get something and the packaging itself just drips luxury? Well, when I opened the magnetic box on the side of the packaging of the TOZO Golden X1, I knew I had something that wanted to be luxurious. The box itself was the first example of this. There is a breakdown of the components inside of the small earbuds printed on the side of the box, information all along it, and a big booklet inside a sleeve. It feels like you are getting your hands on a premium product.

Impressive Look

The TOZO Golden x1 Earbud in it's case

I got the blue version of the TOZO Golden X1, which is a light, baby blue. The charging case matches the colour, with TOZO printed on the top. It's got a USB-C plug on the back, so it can sit in the case on a desk to charge. When you close the front of the case, you can see a little light telling you how much it's charged.

When you open the case, you also can get a reading of the charge, in digital numbers. This isn't something I've seen on a case before and is very interesting. The earbuds clip in well, using magnets, and you can see the individual charge of each side via lines. You can also watch the case itself charge these. It's just very high-tech. 

Inside the Box

The TOZO Golden X1 comes with 5 different-sized earbuds, to go on the headphones, along with a classic USB to USBC short cable. The earbuds do feel quite cheap compared to the rest of the stuff that comes with it, but it's neat to have so many sizes I suppose. 

Earbuds themselves

The earbuds are noise cancelling and do a great job of it, especially when considering their smaller size. I've reviewed other earbuds that have been much larger in order to cancel noise, so it's nice to have a smaller pair that does the job. The audio quality is absolutely fantastic too. 

When they are in your ears, you can tap the stem of the earbuds to pause music or play the next song, which makes them very nice for everyday use when out and about. You can actually re-assign all of the tap controls using their app, with ten different touch options, five of which can be changed. there are a few different modes to put the earbuds into as well, including a wind reduction mode, though I didn't feel there was a real difference between these modes.

Speaking of the app, though you don't need to download it and can leave your TOZO Golden X1 as is, you can spend time customizing your earbuds based on your own hearing, through Earprint technology that gives you a little test of yes or no choices, to see what frequency bands you can hear, to better customize your sound to your own ears. It's very interesting and also plays into how luxurious this entire brand feels.

Battery Life

Inside of the case of the TOZO Golden x1 Earbuds

I am all about how much time I can get without needing to plug in my earbuds. The case itself can hold 24 hours worth of battery, while the earbuds claim to hold a maximum of 8 hours, though that is dependent on the volume and use. It's not fantastic, but it's not too bad either, especially with the LED display in the case to better keep you informed about your battery life.

TOZO Golden X1 review - "Feels like luxury"

The TOZO Golden X1 is a luxurious pair of earbuds that are ideal for someone who likes the ability to customise what they hear and see exactly what their battery life is like. I really like how customisable it all is.
