Design
The TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds keep things simple with a sleek black shell, accented with subtle silver detailing and an LED breathing light that cycles softly when in use. It’s a fun touch that adds a bit of gaming flair to your daily carry, though if you’re looking to fly under the radar, the constant glow might not be for you.
At just a few grams per bud, these sit comfortably in the ear without poking out too far, holding a steady fit even through longer gaming sessions or Netflix binges. There’s a good range of included ear tips to help you find the right seal, and while there’s no ear-fit test, it’s easy enough to figure out what works as you unbox.
The buds are shaped well enough to avoid pressure points, and they never felt like they were about to fall out during testing, even with the occasional sprint for the bus or a quick dash across the house. They’re not going to replace your gym earbuds, but for walking, commuting, and daily use, the fit was reliable and secure.
The charging case keeps things compact, slipping easily into a pocket or bag with a sturdy magnetic latch that feels reassuringly solid each time it snaps closed. Each bud drops neatly into place, aligning with the charging pins with a gentle pull that makes docking them feel clean and deliberate.
Features
The TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds are all about that 45ms low-latency gaming mode, providing a much tighter sync between audio and on-screen action than you’ll typically find at this price point. It’s not going to match a dedicated 2.4GHz connection, but it does enough to keep up with quick audio cues in Call of Duty Mobile and Honkai: Star Rail, making a noticeable difference for fast-paced play.
You’ll also find a game/music toggle, letting you switch between profiles that slightly tweak the sound for your activity. In music mode, audio opens up to allow more space for low-end rumble and vocal clarity, while game mode sharpens the mids and highs to make in-game sounds easier to pick out.
The LED breathing light is a neat addition if you like a bit of visual flair, though it would have been nice to have the option to turn it off for nighttime use.
There’s no active noise cancelling or transparency mode here, but the passive seal does a decent job of muting lower ambient noises like a bus engine or general office chatter, though higher-pitched sounds will still slip through.
Battery life sits at up to 6 hours on a single charge, with the case holding an additional 30 hours of charge, making these buds reliable companions for a week of casual use before you need to find a charger.
Gaming Performance
Gaming mode on the TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds genuinely helps these buds keep up with the action, reducing audio lag enough to make footstep tracking and reload timing much more in sync with what’s happening on-screen. In Call of Duty Mobile, gunfire and enemy movement came through quickly enough to feel responsive, and in Hades on the Switch, attack sounds and environmental effects stayed tied to the on-screen chaos without drifting out of sync.
It’s not perfect, and you won’t be ditching your main headset if you’re serious about competitive play, but for casual gaming on the go, it’s a noticeable improvement over the delay you’ll get from most standard Bluetooth earbuds.
Music and Media Performance
When it comes to music and movies, the TOZO G1 holds its own, providing a bass-heavy signature that adds a bit of punch to everything you throw at it. EDM and hip-hop tracks like The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” or Kanye West’s “Stronger” keep their drive and energy, while podcasts and dialogue-focused content remain clear and easy to follow.
Mids are a touch recessed, meaning vocals can occasionally feel slightly behind the bass, and the highs, while crisp, can lose a bit of detail in more layered orchestral pieces or complex tracks. Still, for a pair of buds at this price, the overall experience is engaging enough to keep you listening, especially if you prefer a bit of low-end thump in your mix.
Volume levels reach comfortably loud without distortion, and even at higher volumes, the bass doesn’t overshadow everything else, allowing you to keep things punchy without sacrificing clarity entirely.
Microphone Quality
The microphone built into the TOZO G1 is decent enough for quick calls and the occasional Discord check-in while gaming. Voices come through clearly enough for your teammates to understand you in Apex Legends Mobile, though there’s a softness to the audio that strips out some detail, leaving things sounding a bit woolly at times.
Background noise handling is acceptable in quieter environments, but if you’re outside in the wind or around heavy traffic, you’ll notice some bleed coming through.
Battery Life
Battery life on the TOZO G1 is solid, providing up to 6 hours of playback on a single charge, with the case topping that up to around 30 hours before you need to reach for a USB-C cable. Over a week of testing with daily use split between music, podcasts, and gaming, the case held up well, dropping down to around 20% by the end of the week with the buds always ready to go each morning.
The case itself charges relatively quickly, getting back up to full in a couple of hours, ensuring you won’t be left hanging if you remember to top it up every few days.
Should you buy the TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds?
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly set of gaming earbuds that can handle your music and Netflix while still giving you a viable option for gaming on the go, the TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds should be on your radar. The low-latency gaming mode genuinely makes mobile and Switch gaming sessions more enjoyable, and the bass-forward sound profile adds a bit of excitement to your playlists.
These aren’t going to replace your high-end gaming headset, nor will they satisfy audiophiles looking for a wide soundstage or intricate detail, but for the price, they tick a lot of boxes. They’re comfortable, lightweight, easy to carry, and versatile enough to slot into your daily routine, making them a strong option if you need a reliable, low-cost companion for casual gaming and everyday listening.
How we tested the TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds
I used the TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds over the course of two weeks, with daily use split between music streaming on Spotify, gaming on the Nintendo Switch and mobile, and watching series on Netflix and YouTube. The buds were tested across a variety of genres, including EDM, hip-hop, rock, and acoustic tracks, alongside podcasts and video content to evaluate overall clarity.
Gaming tests included Call of Duty Mobile, Apex Legends Mobile, Honkai: Star Rail, and Hades to assess low-latency performance and in-game audio positioning. I also checked comfort levels over extended sessions to see how the buds handled longer wear, alongside battery testing to measure real-world longevity across consistent daily use.
Microphone performance was tested with calls and Discord voice chats in both quiet and moderately noisy environments to assess clarity and background noise handling.
