Over 50,000 shoppers are fans of these earbuds, just $13 for a limited time
Looking for a new set of earbuds? If you need a pair that can stand up to unpredictable weather, Tozo's A1 Wireless Earbuds are an excellent choice. They're waterproof, plus they've received more than 54,000 five-star reviews from verified Amazon shoppers who say they have audio that's far richer than their price might suggest. And oh yeah: Right now they're just 13 bucks.
These Tozo earbuds are incredibly popular, especially among buyers who don't want to shell out for Apple or other wallet-punishing brands. They're nearly 60% off now, thanks to this Amazon deal, making an already-good deal even better. When you compare them with the price of AirPods Pro (around $200), it's a no-brainer — these are worth the buy.
What's made Amazon shoppers fall in love with these Tozos other than the incredibly low price tag? Superior audio quality, of course, courtesy of 6mm speaker drivers that produce powerful, crystal lear sound and heart-thumping bass. Trust us, these sound way better than the buds that came with your phone (do phones still come with headphones these days?).
One of my favorite features of these headphones is the Tozo app, which allows you to change how the earbuds actually sound. Want deeper bass? More balanced output? You can dial things in just the way you like it.
Finally, these earbuds have a long battery life. We're talking 32 hours, people: seven hours from the earbuds themselves and 25 hours from their case.
There's a reason we highlight that these have nearly 54,000 five-star reviews. That's a lot of satisfied shoppers.
"Incredible product for the price!" gushed this admiring audiophile. "These earbuds came with all the accessories (charger, earpieces), as well as an 18-month warranty and even an app with 1K EQ presets! The sound is excellent; I use them for sound therapy and brainwave entrainment, binaural beats and isochronic tones as well as solfeggio frequencies."
This very cool aunt bought the A1s for her niece: "They stay in her ears and produce excellent sound quality and a great price! … These are durable and high-quality. The touch features work great, and she loves that she can control the volume and pause what she's listening to/watching without having to touch her tablet... These are great earbuds, especially for a first pair, because if the kids lose them or break them, they are not expensive to replace."
"They connect easily, they're exceptionally comfortable, and the ergonomic design fits perfectly in my ears," praised a repeat customer-to-be. "I've had them for about a week and have yet to charge the case. If I ever need earbuds again, I'll definitely be getting these again."
When it comes to $13 headphones that have all of these features, there's not much you can complain about. Though some still find a way.
Said one sound snob: "These earbuds are more than adequate for listening to podcasts or TV, but for music I would recommend looking at one of their other excellent earbuds, such as their T6 earbuds, which I found to have very good sound quality and are still very comfortable, even though as far as I know they also use a 6mm speaker driver, same size as the A1. As you go up in the Tozo line you start to get bigger drivers (8mm for the T-10, and 10mm for the T12 and T20), so you may be more satisfied with music reproduction with those earbuds."
"My only 'but' so far is that I notice that they fall out of my ears after some time (if I'm doing planks, running, etc.)," cautioned this jeering gym-goer. "Could be just my ears, but for the price, I'll put up with it in the meantime."
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

The most popular stocks and funds investors bought in May
Signs of progress on US tariff agreements in early May offered some reprieve around trade tensions, prompting investors to be more "risk-on", driving stock markets higher. Following on from US president Donald Trump's pausing of many higher rate tariffs in April, the UK and US announced a trade deal on 8 May. This marked the Trump administration's first pact since it unveiled sweeping tariffs and included an agreement to lower levies on a certain number of UK car exports, among other points. Days later, the US and China announced that they had agreed to temporarily slash tariffs on each other's imports by 115% for 90 days, marking a major de-escalation in tensions between the two countries. However, the break from tensions was short-lived, as on 23 May Trump then threatened to raise tariffs to 50% on imports from the European Union (EU) and to put a 25% levy on Apple (AAPL) products unless iPhones are made in the US. Following conversations with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, Trump then said a few days later he had decided to hit pause on imposing higher tariffs on the EU until 9 July. Read more: ECB cuts interest rates for eighth time in a year Later last week, a US trade court then moved to block Trump from imposing his sweeping tariffs, having ruled that the president exceeded his authority when he used an emergency law to issue global reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners. A day later, however, an appeals court temporarily halted this order, allowing Trump to keep collecting tariffs for now. Capping off the month's trade developments, Trump said that he would double tariffs to 50% on imports of steel and aluminium. On the same day, Trump also claimed China had "totally violated" its trade truce with the US, an accusation which China fired back at Washington on Monday. After a call with China's president Xi Jinping on Thursday, however, both countries pledged to restart tariff and trade talks in the coming days. At the end of the month, investors were also focused on Nvidia's (NVDA) first quarter earnings, which came out on 28 May. Expectations have become increasingly high around the chipmaker's earnings, but the results appeared to pass muster this time round, with shares rising on the back of their release. In fact, the Magnificent 7 – comprised of Nvidia, as well as Tesla (TSLA), Meta (META), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) – were responsible for 62% of the S&P 500's (^GSPC) gains in May, according to financial research firm DataTrek. This contributed to the US blue-chip index clocking its best month of trading in May since 1990, though it is still less than 1% in the green year-to-date. Other markets also continued to rebound on tariff progress last month, with the UK's FTSE 100 (^FTSE) now up nearly 8% year-to-date, while the pan-European STOXX 600 (^STOXX) has advanced 9.3% so far this year. With that mind, here were the most popular stocks and funds with investors last month. Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor, said: "May was an easier ride for investors, even though market movements continue to be dominated by tariff twists and turns." 'The early announcement of a trade deal between the US and the UK gave rise to hopes that others could follow in short order, although subsequent events put paid to that optimism," he said. "A court ruling that the tariffs were not legal was replaced by a temporary removal of that blockage, while in the final weekend in May the aggressive rhetoric towards other trading partners resumed." Oil major BP (BP.L) topped the most bought lists for Interactive Investor, Hargreaves Lansdown and Bestinvest, with investors appearing to take advantage of the fact that shares are trading at their lowest point in three years. Shares fell after BP (BP.L) reported that profits almost halved in the first quarter. The company reported an underlying replacement cost profit – a key metric used as a proxy for net profit – of $1.38bn (£1.02bn), falling short of the $1.53bn forecast by analysts polled by LSEG (LSEG.L). The figure also marks a 49% decline from the $2.7bn posted in the same period last year. Read more: UK 'bargain' stocks that have outperformed the market long-term The company has come under pressure from the decline in oil prices, which have fallen amid concerns that a tariff-induced economic slowdown would weigh on demand for fuel. Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "BP's shares came under more pressure after its first set of quarterly results since its strategy reset unimpressed the market. "Despite reductions in costs and investment expenditure, debt moved in the wrong direction. But plenty of investors appear hopeful that the transformation plan will start to bear fruit and have been buying shares in the hope of an uplift." Chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) remained another top 10 stock buy for investors on Interactive Investor, Hargreaves Lansdown, Robinhood (HOOD) and Bestinvest's platforms. Following a drop in Nvidia's (NVDA) share price in April, as Trump's trade war ramped up, the stock recovered in May amid the reprieve on tariffs. The stock then climbed higher towards the end of the month, after the company unveiled a number of new technologies at the Computex tech expo in Taiwan, including developments around its robotics capabilities, among other updates. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio This came a week before the Nvidia's (NVDA) update on its first quarter performance, which have become the most highly anticipated results of the earnings season, given the chipmaker's role as an enabler of AI. For the first quarter, Nvidia (NVDA) posted revenue of $44.1bn, which topped estimates of $43.3bn, though earnings per share of $0.81 were below expectations of $0.93. Shares popped on the back of the results, despite Nvidia (NVDA) warning of a $4.5bn charge from controls on its exports of its H20 chips to China. Excluding this charge, Nvidia (NVDA) said that earnings per share would have been $0.96 for the first quarter. "There remains significant appetite for chip star Nvidia (NVDA), given the demand for its products to power the AI revolution keeps powering upwards," said Streeter. "The company beat revenue expectations again last month, despite fresh restrictions on its exports to China." Investors continued to put money behind defence stocks last month, a trade which has become popular as European governments have pledged to spend more on this area. FTSE 100-listed firm Rolls-Royce (RR.L) remained one of the most popular stocks for investors in May, appearing on the lists of Interactive Investor, Hargreaves Lansdown and Bestinvest. BAE System (BA.L) also appeared on Hargreaves Lansdown and Bestinvest's lists, as another UK-listed company in the sector. "There's an expectation that the EU-UK trade deal will open up deep new pools of funding for British defence companies, as efforts are made to counter the heightened threat from Russia," said Streeter. Investors also continued to invest in Strategy Incorporated (MSTR), the software firm which is the world's largest corporate holder of bitcoin (BTC-USD). "It was an up-and-down month for MSTR with bitcoin highs supporting the share price, only for valuation concerns to take the shine off the crypto rise," said Robinhood (HOOD) UK lead analyst Dan Lane. "Robinhood (HOOD) UK investors are keeping the faith for now, with Coinbase (COIN) on the radar too after being included in the S&P 500 index during the month." UK high street stalwart Marks & Spencer (MKS.L) was another stock that investors appeared to take the opportunity to snap up amid a knock to its share price. The stock was on the most bought lists of Interactive Investor, Hargreaves Lansdown, Bestinvest and AJ Bell (AJB.L) in May. "Marks and Spencer's (MKS.L) cyber-attack disrupted stores and online ordering, causing a 16% drop in shares before starting to recover mid-month," said Hargreaves' Streeter. "Sentiment has been helped by an update showing the retailer is fighting to restore its systems from a position of resilience after a 22% uplift in underlying pre-tax annual profit." Passive funds continued to dominate platforms most bought lists, with US and global funds accounting for many of investors' popular choices. Funds that appeared on multiple lists, included Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap Index (0P00018XAR.L) and HSBC FTSE All World Index (0P00013P6I.L), which are exposed to the Mag 7 tech giants, among other major global companies. Read more: Stocks that are trending today While markets did see a recovery last month, Hargreaves Lansdown head of fund research Victoria Hasler said that "volatility abounded in May, with more tariff drama, cyber attacks and economic uncertainty." "This led some investors to turn to active managers to navigate the difficult environment, and the Artemis Global Income fund topped our list of most bought funds," she said. "Income strategies generally tend to be a little more defensive than the market as a whole, and the Artemis fund has a value bias which could have attracted investors. The other active fund in the top ten was also a global offering – the Rathbone Global Opportunities fund."

Big Tech's bet on Trump hasn't yielded special favors
On Inauguration Day 2025, tech titans like Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Sundar Pichai secured front-row seats, their $1 million donations and Mar-a-Lago visits seemingly successful in endearing themselves to the President they had for years tried to censor. Yet, months into his second term, the millions they spent on Trump — along with billions pledged by OpenAI, Apple, and Meta for US investment (Zuckerberg even bought a house in D.C. ) — hasn't won them any favors. Big Tech now faces relentless antitrust scrutiny, with a spate of recent reports suggesting their efforts to win over Trump have produced no real benefits. Meta is facing a suit from the FTC over allegations the company's acquisitions have given it monopolistic power. Apple is contending with a suit from the DOJ over concerns it has created a monopoly in the smartphone market. Google is dealing with suits from the DOJ over concerns about monopolies in its ad tech and search businesses. Advertisement 4 Tech billionaires were given prime real estate at the Inauguration — but that hasn't translated to special treatment. Getty Images 'Zuckerberg pumped millions of dollars… and all he got was going to court,' one source with knowledge of Trump's thinking on tech said. 'They got nothing other than Inauguration seats,' the source added, noting that tech leaders opposed Trump's preferred antitrust nominees to FTC and DOJ Antitrust — Andrew Ferguson, Gail Slater, and Mark Meador — yet lost those battles. 'The Facebook lawsuit is still going forward and now there are rumors swirling of a potential lawsuit against Apple.' Advertisement Steve Bannon, who I interviewed earlier this week, told me those coveted inauguration seats were about Trump flexing — not about owing Silicon Valley any favors. 'They were all sitting there thinking they own President Trump … it turned out President Trump started crushing them, whether in federal court or with other anti-trust, anti-trust efforts,' Bannon said. While tech leaders have ramped up their visits to the White House in recent months, the aides who Trump works with day-in and day-out are nudging him to take on Big Tech after what they feel was years of mistreatment. 'He was ready to make peace until we reminded him of the hundreds of millions they spent trying to silence him and run him out of office,' one of Trump's tech advisors told me. Advertisement 4 Mark Zuckerberg went so far as to buy a house in Washington, D.C., to be close to the political action. REUTERS Trump's team, sources told me, are now pushing for aggressive measures, including a potential consent decree as part of an FTC deal that could force Meta to pay restitution to conservative users and businesses harmed by content moderation that was ratcheted up dramatically during covid. While Meta has made recent efforts to hire more right-leaning employees and conservative Joel Kaplan recently got a promotion to head of public policy, it's not enough, some say. 'You're not going to fix this with Bush Republicans,' the MAGA advisor said sharply. Advertisement 4 Tim Cook's efforts to win over Trump haven't won him any favors. Getty Images Mike Davis, a conservative legal strategist, echoed this sentiment, telling me 'Meta spent $400 million chasing Trump out of office and subjected him to four years of unrelenting lawfare. If they want to regain trust, they need permanent solutions—restitution for censorship victims and mass hiring of Trump-aligned officials. It'll take years and concrete steps, not empty promises.' Conservatives aren't just focused on past grievances; they're wary of future threats. 'Meta censored doctors and scientists during COVID, potentially costing lives,' another source told me. 'Now they're trying to steal every copyright for their AI while pretending to make amends … they think they can steal data just like China because they say they want to compete with China.' And in the back of many conservative's minds is the recognition there may be just a small window to make the necessary changes. This story is part of NYNext, an indispensable insider insight into the innovations, moonshots and political chess moves that matter most to NYC's power players (and those who aspire to be). Bannon, whose 'War Room' program shapes the MAGA agenda, remains adamant: 'Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Google—they all need to be broken up. Big Tech is the most dangerous force in the country… we have to go after them,' he said in our interview. 4 Sources said Big Tech's recent efforts to make up with the president don't erase their long history of going after Trump. Getty Images Advertisement 'All the oligarchs are progressive Democrats … they became MAGA at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the 5th of November when President Trump was declared the winner. That's when they all had this Damascene moment,' he added. And Bannon believes the moment the political winds change, they'll go back to the left. And it's not just Trump they have to worry about. Even Trump's likely successor, J.D. Vance, is reportedly more hawkish on antitrust issues. Advertisement Vance has even praised Biden's aggressive FTC Chair Lina Khan who made it her mission to break up big tech. For now, the tech titans' investments and gestures have bought them little more than a front-row view of their own reckoning. Send NYNext a tip: nynextlydia@
