We compared and contrasted each of these factors for the Tozo T6 & Apple Airpods

Sound Quality

Especially for music listeners, the overall quality of sound is a massive factor in finding your perfect pair of earbuds. There are various factors that impact a pair of earbuds’ sound quality.

TOZO T6
If you’re looking for a crisp sound with a slight spike in the bass, these earbuds may be the choice for you. Many people love the clarity and full bass response that doesn’t sacrifice any of the other frequencies. With their 6mm speaker drivers, they easily outperform their price range by a wide margin. Overall, I give them a solid 9.2 out of 10 for sound quality.

Apple AirPods
To my ears, the sound quality is perfect. The Apple AirPods provide the very best sound quality true wireless earbuds are able to offer. All of the frequencies are perfectly balanced while maintaining a fair amount of separation. All the instruments are easily heard leaving nothing out. The bass response is full and punchy, the mids are rich, and the highs are just right. Even at max volumes, you won’t hear any distortion or harsh frequencies. Compared to every other true wireless pair of earbuds, I give it a 10 out of 10 for sound quality.

Overall, the Apple AirPods have a better sound quality.

Comfort

The ability for earbuds to remain comfortable for extended periods of time without itchiness, annoyance, pressure, or ear pain. Considering many people use earbuds for commute, air travel, or work; Comfort is a vital factor.

TOZO T6
These earbuds are incredibly comfortable. They fit relatively securely in your ears without movement or pain. I give them a solid 9.2 out of 10 for comfort.

Apple AirPods
The Apple AirPods are extremely comfortable. They feel like nothing is on once put in. Even though their incredibly light on the ears, they stay securely in them. I’ve gone on many runs with them and they’ve never even gotten close to falling out. You will be very satisfied with their overall comfort and ability to stay in your ears.

Overall, the Apple AirPods is more comfortable.

Build Quality

What good are your amazingly sounding earbuds if they break in a few months? The overall durability and longevity are crucial for any investment you make. Especially for those who need earbuds for commute, it’s important they’re able to withstand vigorous traveling conditions consistently.

TOZO T6
Designed with a sturdy plastic, the TOZO T6 has a pretty good build quality with nothing much to complain about. One of its primary strengths is its fantastic water-proof capabilities. With its IPX8 rating, you’re able to bring the earbuds one meter deep in water for 30 minutes. Obviously, sweating won’t become an issue, either. I give it a 9.3 out of 10 for the build.

Overall, the Apple AirPods have a better build quality than the TOZO T6. However, the TOZO T6 has water-resistant capabilities, unlike the Airpods.

Noise Isolation/Active Noise Cancelling

Don’t be confused between active noise cancelling and noise isolation earbuds. They are both entirely different. Noise-cancelling technology is very unique. Unlike noise-isolating earbuds, noise-cancelling earbuds do not eradicate outside noise by physical insulation. Within the ear cups, they have a mini microphone that picks up the outside environmental noise. It then triggers a frequency entirely opposite to the outside ambient noise. Thus, canceling out most outside ambient sound.

TOZO T6
Of the many ear tips coming with the purchase, depending on the ones you choose determines how great it passively isolates outside noise. After you find the right fit for maximum comfort and isolation, you’ll be pretty satisfied. I give it a 7.7 out of 10 for its noise isolation capabilities. Like most earbuds on this list, these don’t provide active noise cancelling.

Apple AirPods
Where these earbuds significantly lack is their lack of noise isolation. Once put on, outside noise does not reduce naturally at all. They also don’t offer active noise cancelling, either.

Overall, the TOZO T6 provides better passive noise capabilities. Neither provides active noise canceling.

Battery Life

Battery life is an overlooked subject when speaking about over-ear earbuds. Obviously, the only earbuds that have a battery life are those which are wireless. Many earbuds on the market do not have wireless capabilities. But for those who do, a more extended battery-life becomes a convenient factor.

TOZO T6
These earbuds give you a 6-hour battery life whereas the case adds an additional 24 hours.

Apple AirPods
On a full charge, these earbuds give you 5 hours of continuous use. The wireless charging case adds an additional 24 hours.

Overall, the TOZO T6 has a more extended battery life.

Added Features

Here we summarize each pair of earbuds and talk about some of the added features.

TOZO T6
With its advanced 5.0 Bluetooth technology, they provide a reliable and secure connection. In comparison to other true wireless earbuds in this mid-budget price range, the TOZO T6 provides amazingly clear phone call quality. They are a fantastic bang for the buck and we highly recommend it!

Apple AirPods
A feature that I thoroughly enjoy is its auto on/off. The moment you put the earbuds in your ear, they automatically turn on. If you take one-off, they both turn off. I find this feature is incredibly convenient. The wireless charging case comes in handy, as well. With its built-in mic, phone calls are incredibly clear without any issues. Overall, the Apple AirPods is the most reliable choice of true wireless earbuds under $200. It’s a fantastic bang for the buck and I highly recommend it.

Overall, the Apple AirPods provide slightly better phone call quality than the Tozo T6.
