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 reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Which small car offers the same premium feel as our Audi?
Dear Alex, My wife and I have bought new Audis for many years. She is soon to change her 2022 A1 and, although there are still many A1s around, Audi has discontinued it. Which similar cars would be suitable replacements? Similar overall size, boot capacity, passenger capacity, with four doors and a petrol or self-charging hybrid engine – in other words, an Audi in another manufacturer's clothing? –IB Dear IB, You're correct that the A1 is being discontinued this year, probably to be replaced by an electric model. But you can still order a brand-new one – although you'll have to be quick to secure one of the last of the A1s to leave the factory. Or your wife could simply keep her current example – at only three years old, I've no doubt it will have years of life left in it. If it's the lack of warranty that concerns her, she could always take out an All-In service plan, which includes two years' worth of extra warranty, as well as two years of servicing and MOTs at a main dealer. An added bonus is that keeping the same car, rather than buying an all-new one, is a more sustainable choice. But if she is set on changing her car and she's too late to order another A1, try a Volkswagen Polo instead. It doesn't have such a prestigious badge, but it's actually the same car underneath, and ticks all the boxes you mention. In fact, the Polo offers greater boot and rear seat space than the A1, despite being roughly the same size. It's also one of the classiest and most comfortable small cars, so it won't seem much of a downgrade from the Audi. The Style model provides a few classy touches emulating the higher specification of her current A1. Alternatively, the sporty-looking R-Line has the option of a more powerful version of the 1.0-litre engine – or an automatic gearbox. The downside is that the R-Line's larger wheels make the Polo a touch less comfortable. Another option is the Mini Cooper. In the absence of the A1, and since Mini is a subsidiary of BMW, this is just about the only current small car that could be considered a premium-branded product. Inside, the Mini is unashamedly retro but it's also immensely characterful and different from the norm. In the five-door model, space in the boot and rear seats should be on a par with the A1. The only real downside is that the Mini feels quite firm over bumps, although you can mitigate that by avoiding the Cooper S and opting instead for a Cooper C, which has smaller wheels and softer suspension. One final thought: try a Honda Jazz. Your wife might sniff at the idea of a Honda as a replacement for an Audi, but the company's latest models have high-quality interiors that feel a cut above its slightly humdrum image. The latest Jazz is a hybrid, which means it's extremely frugal, while it offers far more space and versatility inside than your wife will be used to in her A1. In addition, the Jazz's reputation for reliability is better than any of the other cars I've mentioned, making it the one to choose if she really wants peace of mind.
