To the excitement of TOZO fans, the brand recently announced the release of TOZO NC20, the latest gen of the TOZO NC series. This blog compares the latest TOZO NC20 with the previous TOZO NC3, which is also one of the most popular models, offering a clear insight into the upgrade that TOZO NC20 achieves.

Adaptive Noise cancellation 

Overview of NC20 and NC3

Before diving into the comparison, let’s take a brief look at both models. Both TOZO NC20 and NC3 utilize a stemmed in-ear design. They feature excellent sound quality, powerful noise cancellation performance, and extended battery life. The TOZO NC20, however, takes things further with the more advanced wireless audio technology that reflects the growing demand for intelligent.

Sound Quality Comparison

Sound quality means everything for wireless earbuds. On the hardware layer, both TOZO NC20 and TOZO NC3 are built with 12mm dynamic drivers, offering responsive and vibrant musical performance. However, TOZO NC20’s diaphragm is further enhanced by TOZO’s latest SDLC technology, which allows for better sound quality in all frequencies.

On the aspect of audio codecs, TOZO NC20 has surely made a huge upgrade by employing the advanced LDAC codec. It allows for the streaming of 24-bit/96 kHz audio (also known as Hi-Res audio). Moreover, with LDAC, the data transmission speed reaches up to 990 kbps, which is three times faster than the regular SBC codec, resulting in a richer sound.


Other than that, TOZO NC20 also achieves no small improvement in the listening immersion. The models integrate spatial sound technology. It features an immersive three-dimensional soundscape that makes it feel like the sound is around you. Whether it’s listening to music, watching movies, or gaming, TOZO NC20 can guarantee you a better experience.

Noise Cancellation Comparison

Noise cancellation has always been the major feature of the TOZO NC series. TOZO NC3 provides users with powerful noise cancellation by utilizing the hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) technology. It combines the advantages of both feedforward ANC and feedback ANC, offering an effective noise cancellation performance on both low-frequency and high-frequency sounds. Moreover, you can get multiple noise cancellation modes on TOZO’s intelligent app, meeting your various noise-cancelling needs.

6-Mic Al Call Noise Reduction 

Same as TOZO NC3, NC20 also employs a hybrid ANC setup, offering a maximum of 45 dB noise reduction level. However, TOZO NC20 features adaptive noise cancellation with intelligent algorithms. It automatically adjusts the noise cancellation strength according to your environment, ensuring optimal performance for different situations. That said, the noise cancellation of the TOZO NC20 can be especially useful when moving between quiet and noisy locations.

Battery Life Comparison

For wireless earbuds, battery life matters. It is especially important for noise-cancelling earbuds, which generally consume more power. TOZO NC3 offers up to 13 hours of playtime on a single charge. With the charging case, the total playtime can be extended to 55 hours. When in noise cancellation mode, TOZO NC3 can still last up to 9.5 hours on a single charge and offers 40 hours.

SmartPow Technology 

On the other hand, TOZO NC20 also offers users extended playtime. A single charge allows the model to last 30 hours. With the charging case, TOZO NC20 provides users with up to a surprising 80 hours. Even in full ANC, TOZO NC20 still lasts 13 hours on a single charge. Added with the charging case, the total playtime goes up to 43 hours.

Extra Smart Features of TOZO NC20

Besides better overall performance, TOZO NC20 also comes with a range of smart features that enhance the listening experience and convenience.

EarTune AI Technology


TOZO NC20 is enhanced by TOZO’s exclusive EarTune AI technology. It utilizes advanced auditory algorithms that make the earbuds intelligently adapt and enhance the sound in real-time according to your ears, offering a more personalized listening experience for every user.

Multi-Point Connection

It’s also a key point that TOZO NC20 supports multipoint connection. It allows the earbuds to be simultaneously connected to a smartphone and a laptop. When audio or a call is detected on one of the connected devices, the earbuds automatically switch to that device. That said, you can easily switch between listening to music on your computer and taking a call on your phone.

Smart-In Ear Detection

TOZO NC20 comes with an intelligent sensor to detect whether you are wearing the earbuds. When the earbuds are removed, your audio content pauses. When the earbuds are put on, your audio content automatically resumes. This subtle yet impactful addition enhances convenience while conserving battery life.
