Gamers who prefer team shooters or other online games know that sound helps to identify the enemy before seeing him. A good microphone allows you to transmit useful information to teammates more clearly and quickly; good sound quality gives a deeper immersion in the game world. And if with PC and consoles everything is easier, what about players who prefer mobile gaming? Unfortunately, it is not comfortable to wear full-size headphones, and budget earplugs are hardly suitable for listening to podcasts. Today we review TOZO G1 wireless gaming earbuds and try to answer whether there is an affordable solution with acceptable characteristics.

Description
In short – this model represents the G-series and is designed for gamers. That means the emphasis here is placed on comfort, performance, and quality. These headphones will suit well even non-gaming people but think again, TOZO has more affordable models with long battery life and a more restrained design. For example – the TOZO T9 with moisture protection, 4 microphones, and 8 hours of battery life. If that doesn’t scare you off, they’re perfect for any task that requires only 6 hours – that’s how long the battery lasts.

Design
If the eye-catching design with glowing elements is to your liking, you’ll love these TOZO gaming earbuds because they’re reminiscent of Razer products. The headphones have a classic vertical form factor, but what sets them apart from the competition is their comfortable shape and innovative silicone earmolds that create less pressure on the ear.
The outer part attracts attention with a triangular decorative light on the cut. Below, on the foot of the earpiece, a vertical line thickens to the edge, also with a green backlight. Next to it, vertically (from bottom to top), is the inscription “TOZO”.
On the inside, nothing is interesting – only a letter indicating whether you are looking at the left or right earphones. The power contacts are placed at the bottom, which is not surprising – the fit of the headphones in a case is vertical.
There are two microphone holes: the first is under the “O” of the word “TOZO”, and the second is on the top of the headphone’s head.
The charging case deserves special attention. It is not screaming and provocative but rather stylish and concise. Uniform edges, glossy slots for the headphones, the logo in the form of a green LED triangle in the center – all this gives the impression of an expensive thing. The case is a little unusual for the brand, but it does not cause rejection – there is nothing extra, only skillfully highlighting the strengths.
The connector for the charging cable, USB Type-C, is located in the center at the bottom. How convenient it is a matter of habit for each person.
Protection
And here is the first disadvantage – despite the good quality, youthful design, and, in advance – good sound quality, the model is not suitable for outdoor activities. A frequent question: are TOZO G1 waterproof – no. Absolutely not. There is no protection from water, drops of sweat, dust, and immersion. The headphones can be used on the road, at home, at work, and school, but not for sports or morning trips to the store in rainy weather.
Important! Owners say that the model withstands moisture. But it is not a warranty case and is not worth the risk.
Ergonomics
The TOZO G1 review cannot be imagined without mentioning the comfortable shape of the earbuds. As already said: they are vertical with a relaxing head that fits well under the ear. Separately, let’s highlight the silicone earpads – the right size will improve sound insulation and reduce pressure, which means you can wear them longer without noticing. The shape and curve of the body allow you to be on the move with the G1 – they will not fall out when talking and walking.
Special mention should be made of the weight of each earmold, less than 4 grams. This is a good indicator, considering the headphones’ class and the speaker’s size.
Package Contents
I wonder what the manufacturer put in a compact box for gaming headphones. Unfortunately, the package does not differ much from other brand models. Inside are headphones, a charging case, a case with five removable silicone tips, instructions, and a charging cable.
The cable is not too long, mind you. Also, don’t throw away the manual immediately – if you have trouble connecting, you can find all the information you need in the “Reset” section.
Sound
The review of TOZO G1 Wireless Earbuds cannot be considered complete without evaluating the sound quality. In short – the sound is good, one of the best in this price segment. Now more details.
This model is designed for gamers, but there is also a music mode. Is there a difference? Yes. The sound transmission algorithms are different and considering that Bluetooth 5.0 technology is supported, there are some unique sound transmission functions. Also, in music mode, the focus is on reproducing deep bass and voice clarity. The task is not an easy one, but the size of the speaker unit is as much as 10 mm – for headphones in this form factor, this is a decent result.
Gaming Mode
What is Low Latency Gaming Mode? In our subjective opinion, the most important thing, after the size of the speaker in this model of headphones. This model is specifically designed for gamers, which means:
- It has balance. The frequency range of the model is 20 Hz – 20 kHz. But it is written on all headphones. The G1 must be close to the truth: the roar of the motor, the human voice, and the shooting sound – all these are different frequencies, but the headphones equally clearly transmit them. What is important – the sound does not merge into a single stream, thanks to the stereo speakers;
- There is indeed a difference between the modes – they are tuned and optimized for specific tasks: music and game;
- Low Latency Gaming Mode significantly reduces latency. The standard figure is about 140 ms. Here, it is 45 ms. This will allow you to hear and distinguish every rustle, shot, step, and other sound, which is extremely important for eSports.
Bottom line: the sound is crisp, loud, and distinguishable. A lot of credit goes to the high-quality stereo speakers, but don’t underestimate the game mode either – the software optimization works little wonders, and we recommend using it.
Microphone
The microphone on the TOZO G1 will not be able to surprise you. There are even 2 microphones in each earphone, but the lack of noise cancellation affects the quality of the call. If you speak in a quiet environment, even better in a room – you will be heard perfectly. However, you will have to speak louder and repeat outdoors near noisy traffic, other people, or in a strong wind.
The microphone is not the strongest point of the G1, but it’s not a failure either, bearing in mind the device’s price.
If necessary, the headphones work separately, even when one is on charge. This also applies to the headset.
How to Connect TOZO G1 to Any Device via Bluetooth
The connection interface is not the newest, but Bluetooth 5.0 is enough to make fast and smooth communication. Gaming earbuds have a one-step pairing – take them out of the case and find them in the list of available Bluetooth devices.
The connection process is not fundamentally different from other TWS wireless headphones. Our article has covered how to connect TOZO earphones to your Android or iOS phone. There are also detailed instructions for MacBook and Windows 10/11.
In short, here is the step-by-step manual:
- Take both earpieces out of the charging case (they must be fully charged).
- On the connected gadget, turn on the Bluetooth module.
- Go to the settings and enable the search for new devices.
- Select TOZO G1 and wait for synchronization.
- If necessary, enable additional options (exchange contacts, playback calls, or other codecs)
Functionality
We have already told you about the game mode in TOZO. Other interesting solutions there are:
- Fast charging support;
- The function of switching off the device, as well as touch control;
- Availability of voice prompts.
Controls
Controls are touch-sensitive and reliable, with no glitches or phantom effects:
- One press: start/pause, accept/reset incoming call (“L” and “R”);
- Two pushes: “L” – last track, “R” – next track;
- Three pushes: “L” – activation of the voice assistant, “R” – playful mode;
- Press and hold for 2 seconds: end conversation, “L” – decrease, “R” – add sound.
Battery and Case Working Time
Nothing particularly interesting and without frills: the operating time on a single charge is 6 hours, with the case of 5 full charges more, that is +30 hours.
If TOZO G1 earbuds do not charge or do not hold the charge well initially, please get in touch with the service center under warranty – 6 hours is relatively low even for mobile gaming, not to mention PC. By the way, the model is perfectly paired with laptops and PCs in the presence of a compatible Bluetooth adapter.
The adapter must be a similar or older version. It will work even if you ignore this rule, but the speed and stability most important in these headphones will be lost.
