Review: TOZO HT3 Headphones – Great Sound at a Budget Price

In the past, I’ve reviewed a couple of TOZO earbuds, and I’ve always been genuinely impressed by their sound quality. Today, I want to talk about their new TOZO HT3 headphones — and to be honest, they surprised me again. Priced at around $50, they pack features you’d usually find on far more expensive models: Active Noise Cancellation, Hi-Res Audio, long battery life, and even wired playback. In this review, I’ll share my personal experience using the HT3 and answer the question: do they sound as good as TOZO’s earbuds I loved before?

(Disclosure: TOZO sent me the HT3 for free for review purposes. This post is not sponsored, TOZO hasn’t seen it before publication, and all opinions are my own. )

Unboxing, Design & Build Quality

For an affordable pair of headphones, the packaging is surprisingly good. It’s clean, minimal, and gives you all the information you need. Inside, you’ll find the HT3 headphones neatly folded (no case included), a USB-C charging cable, and even a 3.5 mm audio cable — a small but thoughtful detail.

The first thing that struck me was how premium they feel in the hand. The materials used here could easily belong to a much more expensive product. This trend of affordable brands delivering premium finishes continues to amaze me, and TOZO nailed it again.

The earcups are incredibly comfortable — far better than many headphones I’ve tried at this price point, way better than the Sonoflow Pro I tested last year. The foam is soft and bouncy, making it easy to wear the HT3 for hours without discomfort. The headband adjustment is smooth, and I love the little numbered markings on the sides. The buttons feel tactile and responsive, and the overall design is well-balanced — not bulky, not too small, just right.

Setup & Sound Quality

Pairing was effortless. The HT3 connects quickly via Bluetooth 6, and you can easily pair two devices at once — for instance, my iPhone and MacBook Air. The TOZO app adds even more value: you can tweak the EQ settings, toggle ANC, transparency mode, or even try out spatial audio, which works surprisingly well.

Now, let’s talk about sound. Honestly, I expected compromises at this price point — but the audio quality is excellent. The sound is powerful, detailed, and warm, with clear mids and punchy lows. They can get really loud too, with no noticeable distortion. I found that by picking the right EQ preset in the app, you can fine-tune them for any genre.

The Active Noise Cancellation is also impressive for the price. Of course, they won’t beat Sony, Bose, or Apple, but for $50, it’s hard to complain — the reduction in background noise is definitely noticeable.

Latency is minimal. Watching Netflix or YouTube felt perfectly in sync. I also tested them with the included 3.5 mm cable connected to my MacBook Air M1 to enjoy lossless Spotify tracks, and the sound was even richer. Then I played a few 8D audio tracks on YouTube — and honestly, I just wanted to get up and dance. It felt like being at a live concert!

Call Quality

According to TOZO, AI plays a big role in the HT3’s call and noise-reduction technology. Now, I’ll be honest — I usually find “AI” features a bit of a buzzword. But in this case, call quality was good. I took several calls using the HT3, and people on the other end said I sounded clear, about the same as with most other wireless headphones. Not exceptional, but perfectly fine for everyday use.

Final Thoughts

What can I say? I’m honestly impressed. For under $50, the TOZO HT3 is a no-brainer. The sound quality, comfort, and design all punch way above their weight. Sure, there’s no carrying case, but they fold neatly and are light enough to slip into any bag.

TOZO has once again proved that you don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy great sound, smart design, and solid build quality.

If you’re looking for affordable headphones that sound fantastic, the HT3 should be on your list.
