How Are These Noise Cancelling Headphones ONLY $30? (TOZO HT3 Review)

These might be the best budget

headphones you've never heard of. These

are the Tozo HT3s. And let's just start

with the price so you all appreciate

what you're getting here. $30. That's

it. Let's crack open the box. In the

box, of course, you get the Tozo HT3s

themselves. They come wrapped in some

nice foam to make sure they arrive to

you in good working order. That is

always very nice to see regardless if

it's a budget piece of tech or not. You

get a quick guide, user manual, 3.5 mm

cable, and USBC charging cable. I mean,

really, this is all pretty standard

stuff. I do want to touch that right out

of the box. These things don't feel

cheap at all if you hand these to

somebody and ask them, "What do you

think these cost?" I have a really tough

time believing that somebody would tell

you 30 bucks. You know what they don't

do and I appreciate is they don't add

that additional weight to try to give it

that premium feel when it just doesn't

need it. You can just tell by the

materials, the plastic, the cushions, it

it feels quality. And that's what

companies should be trying to do, not

just add that artificial weight to make

it feel heavy and premium. You know, at

that point, it's just going to make my

headset dent even larger. I don't need

that. If we take a look up top, it has

the standard adjustable band with foam

on top. And the ear pads feel pretty

comfortable as well. They have a really

nice cushion to them. For button

control, I appreciate that they kept it

pretty simple. There's nothing worse

than having too many buttons, and while

you're wearing them, you can't keep

track of what button does what. On the

HT3s, you have the power button, volume

up and down, and active noise

cancellation on or off button. That is

it. If you can't figure that out, then

I don't think I can help you. Each

button does have more than one function,

though. The power button turns it on and

off if you hold it for 3 seconds, but a

single press can also pause and play

your song. They do have a built-in

microphone, so you can use them for

calls. And if someone does call while

you have them on, a single press will

answer or hang up. And you can hold it

down for two seconds to reject the call,

which let's be honest, in 2025, most of

the time I'm pressing that for two

seconds and I'm rejecting that call.

Unless you're in my contacts. Am I the

only one who answers the phone if it's

someone I know? Same goes for the volume

up and down buttons. A long press on the

up one skips to the next song and a long

press on volume down goes to the

previous song. Let's dive into what

makes these headphones really great for

the price, though, and that is its sound

quality and features. You might find on

a lot of budget headphones that the

sound isn't that great and you have to

find yourself turning the volume all the

way up to 100%, but that's not the case

with the HT3s. Thanks to their 40mm

dynamic drivers and strength of their

smart ANC, which they say can reduce

distractions up to - 455 dB, you get a

pretty good isolating sound and it does

a good job of getting rid of most

intrusive environmental noise. Parents,

I'm just saying this could be good for

you. I got three kids of my own and I

know my wife is going to definitely be

stealing these headphones from me. I've

tested them listening to all sorts of

different music from rock to rap to EDM.

And my overall verdict is the bass is

simply awesome and it's really easily

distinguishable from the rest of the

frequencies. I wanted to connect them to

my PC as well. So, I hopped into some

Battlefield 6 to really put that to the

test as well, and it made playing the

game even more immersive, and you could

really feel that punch in the bass.

Mid-range frequencies also sounded

really nice. Vocals come through clearly

and accurately, and overall, the HT3s

provide a really balanced sound.

Overall, at this price point, I'm just

really impressed and I'm struggling to

see what improvements you can make on a

$30 pair of headphones. I mean, it's 30

bucks. To also does provide an app that

you can get on your phone. It unlocks

even more advanced features and allows

you to fully customize the EQ. So, let's

go ahead and check that out next. The

HT3s feature Bluetooth 6.0. So, the

first thing you'll want to do is connect

them via your phone's Bluetooth setting.

That way, they show up in the app. If

you don't do that first, you might get a

little confused. It won't show up in the

list. connect it to Bluetooth on your

phone and then do it in the app. Once

you do that, you get access to all sorts

of other features. For the EQ, you can

either completely customize it yourself

or you can use a ton of other EQ presets

created by other people, which is great

if you just don't want to mess around a

ton. These do have AI built into them as

well. And I know no matter how you feel

about it, I think that some of these AI

features are pretty cool. First off,

real time translation. Now, I can't see

a situation where myself I would be

using this a ton, but I'm sure there's

scenarios at work, friends, where you

could definitely see that this would be

pretty handy. So, for example, if

someone was speaking French or Spanish,

and I wanted to translate that to

English. You just set the language, the

mic will pick up the French or Spanish,

and then translate that to English on

screen and via voice in the headphones.

You know, I'm no expert, and I'm simply

relying on Google Translate, but it

seemed to work pretty well. You can also

record your meeting and play that back,

which, you know, could be pretty cool

for work. And then there's just a

generalized AI chat where I can't really

see any other use case for it, uh, other

than asking it troubleshooting or

questions about setup or different

settings. Now, if you somehow manage to

misplace your HT3s, there is another

cool feature called Find My Headphones.

Once you tap this, your headphones will

make a really loud beeping sound that

should help you locate them. That is, if

they're not dead. And if they are, well,

you better keep track of your

belongings. I literally lose my wallet

like three times a week. But speaking of

battery, you can get up to 65 hours of

non-stop listening with its 500 mAh

battery. So whether you're using them

for school, at home, or even while

traveling, you can ensure you won't have

to constantly charge them, which I think

we can all appreciate. If you want to

check out your battery level, you can do

so easily via the app. It will show you

an on-screen percentage. Overall, the

Tozo HT3s deliver great audio

performance with a ton of features like

adaptive active noise cancelling,

high-res audio, Tozo AI, and a long

battery life. As their little jingle

likes to say, Tozo, it's just good for

sound. For 30 bucks, if you want to pick

up a pair, I will leave a link to them

down in the description below. And I

want to give a shout out to Tozo for

sending these out and letting me test

them. Probably the best pair of $30

headphones that I've yet to test to

date. If you guys have got any other

questions, feel free to leave them down

in the description below. See you.
