NC9 are very good for their price. They are close to buds in the 50 dollar range.
For 100 bucks the OnePlus buds 4 seem to be the overall winner. Think Swiss Army knife. I have Earfun 4+ that I got for 70 bucks when they came out and they are great for that price. For 45 bucks I think the A40 are a really good value. The Tozo nc9 are a good cheap earbud.
BTW the battery seems to last the longest of the buds I own. (APP, Tozo NC9, Soundcore A40, Samsung Buds 3, Samsung Buds, and the Earfun. I feel like I'm missing one.)
The Tozo nc9 are better than the A40. The ANC is about the same, sound is a touch better, and battery life is a little better. I haven't slept with the A40 but the NC9 stays in all night. You might try the NC20, they are a tad smaller and better in every way except they are 20 bucks more
The Tozo NC9 are VERY good for the price.
Tozo NC9 are really good for their price point. Tozo nc20 are on sale today at Amazon for 40 bucks. That's a steal.
I have the Earfun air pro + and really like them. The sound is really good, battery life is great, ANC is pretty good. They are a great buy at 75 bucks. OnePlus buds 4 seem to be the best overall bud at 100 bucks. The Tozo NC20 are a good buy at 50 bucks you aren't looking for great sound. I have the NC9 and they sound pretty decent.
The Earfun 4+ at 75 bucks are GREAT. The Tozo NC9 are cheap and honestly pretty decent.
Tozo NC9 are the best at 40 and under and are less than 30 bucks. The A40 are good as well but I think the Tozo are just a bit better.
I think the Tozo NC9 sound a touch better than the A40 and are cheaper. They are a GREAT buy at 30 bucks. I bought them as a backup pair to abuse and use them a lot. Either pair are a good choice.
[Tozo NC9](https://a.co/d/01d06S3V) Good sound quality, bunch of customizable presets in the app. Noise cancelation punches way above its weight. Find my buds feature and more all for under $30
Adding a vote for [Tozo](https://a.co/d/eUto29I)! Mine were like 30 bucks and the sound is good. I dropped one and the output was off, so I emailed the company. They actually replied and suggested a fix that worked and now they’re fine. Highly recommended for a budget option! Edited to add link
Yeah that’s a big miss. Those are fantastic earbuds. That’s coming from someone who also has the Soundpeats H3, Moondrop Robin, Moondrop Golden Ages 2, JBL Vibe Beam, TOZO NC4, and OnePlus Buds 4. The OPB4 are the best all around buds out of all of these. Great sound quality, great ANC/transparency modes, great battery life, and even great mic quality.
Yes, I agree the Soundcore case sucks lol. It’s bulky and seems fragile. I tried the Tozo Aerosound6 Pro (I think it’s more or less the same as the NC20), and I loved the case on that with the comprehensive screen controls. The earbuds themselves were not great though, especially after trying the Earfuns. As a tech geek, I’m now going to consider earbud case functionality going forward.
Have a look ( listen) to Tozo buds. The sound is excellent for the price. I prefer my $AU70 Tozo buds over my $AU300 Sony buds for sound quality. They make more expensive buds but I dont see a reason to try them as I think it just improves on the ANC quality.
