Tozo NC7 vs Tozo NC9 Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) Wireless Earbuds Review - MUST SEE!

[@whereweregoingwedontneedey4374]

I wish these guys would sort out their naming conventions. Who'd think the NC7 would be newer than the NC9. Madness

[@tonylettkeman3685]

And now there's the NC9 "Upgraded" version.

[@McFaddis]

Yes it's silly. I just bought the nc9s and probably would have researched the nc7 as well if I thought they were newer

[@whereweregoingwedontneedey4374]

@@McFaddis I think the number is something to do with the driver size. Same with the T6, T10, T12

[@PavanMS87]

Absolutely

[@alexcovaci5085]

One of the, if not THE BEST, nost comprehensive, most well presented, most detailed AND professional review od ANY earbuds on youtube, let alone Tozo brand. Easy to recommend your channel, and even easier to make an informed decision to buy. Congrats for the excellent job

[@wkasimer]

My NC7's arrived today, and I played with them for an hour or so. Initial impression very positive. Yes, they're a little bright, but my 62 year old ears, with some high frequency hearing loss, don't mind that much, and since I listen mostly to classical music, the clarity is welcome. The case is tiny, even smaller than the Earfun Free Pros. ANC works pretty well, although I don't think that it's quite as robust as the Soundpeats T2's. Touch controls are sensible and work well. Fit is good, and the case is actually fairly forgiving of various tips (I've found with other earbuds that using non-propietary tips may improve the sound and fit, but then the buds don't turn off when placed back in the case). The buds are a little hard to remove from the case (actually a little easier with Spinfit tips attached), but not nearly as difficult as the Mpow X6's that I returned. So far, two thumbs up for these.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Nice summary and so glad you're enjoying them!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Awesome comparison work bro! Good to know Tozo finally made a strong upgrade to the NC9.

I just bought the upgraded 2022 NC7s, my first Tozo earbuds. Wow, where have these been all my life. First time ever, earbuds straight out of the box, fit perfect.. The sound is amazing, very bass heavy, but not too much. Just perfect. Haven't had a phone call yet, but sound wise, wow. They get right in your ear, which I love. Great job Sozen and even greater job Tozo.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Glad you're enjoying them and were wise to purchase the 2022 model!

[@getoutsidenow420]

​@@SoZenGadgets no doubt, have you tried the crystal buds? I havent but have a feeling these are better

[@geoffh4578]

NC9's have been updated since you reviewed them, if you compare the early 2020 box with the late 2020 early 22021 box you will notice there is a change, the front bottom right logo were it used to say just NC9 now has "Updated" written below NC9, this brings several changes as I understand it bringing the NC9 and NC7 to almost identical specs

[@SoZenGadgets]

Thanks. Any idea what they updated?

[@badgergaming6713]

They actually made a whole new version called the nc9 plus. Its the same overall design but it lasts 10.5 hours and with the case it lasts over 100 hours. I bought the nc9 plus's not long ago and there great. Idk about them being better than the nc7s though because ive never had tozo products before. They seem to have fixed everything that the nc7s had over them though.

[@maryaiky]

@@badgergaming6713 is the "plus" different from "updated" nc9s?

[@badgergaming6713]

@@maryaiky I think they are different products. The NC9 plus' have a bigger battery in both the earbuds and in the charging case it's self. I could be wrong on that tho. The updated (I believe) are just UI updated and better ANC capabilities

[@maryaiky]

Thanks you for responding.

[@RicherTechReviews]

Thanks for the review Sozen, loved the NC9s and still waiting on a U.K. release for the NC7s! It’s interesting to hear your analysis of the EQ shift caused by activating ANC because it’s similar on the NC2s, which I just picked up, but think it’s the opposite way round (sound quality is best in both normal mode or Transparency mode, but it degrades slightly in ANC on mode). Keep the great videos coming! 😀

[@SoZenGadgets]

I will watch for that in the NC2's when I open them up tomorrow night!

[@Newb118]

What a misleading video!! Nc7 is a older version no……..

[@jcs480able]

Awesome show. I really liked the sound on the NC9. Unfortunately I think my set was a bit of a lemon as they would not disconnect and one would not charge without alot of fiddling.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Glad you enjoyed the show, i'm thinking about how to do something like that at the intro more often. A little whacky, i know.

[@TheArtOfJerry]

Like your video. It is improving, maybe is the editing. Something that pop for me. Like it.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Thanks bro!

[@Ima-c6t]

I own both the nc9 and the nc7. NC9 fits better and has a deeper sound that i pefer, but lacks poorly on the mic when making phone calls . The nc7 sounds brighter and too light for my liking . Because of the light weight, it feels like its about to slip off of your ear . I do however prefer the much improved mic of the nc7 which Works wayy way better than the nc9.

[@terrymasterson268]

I now realize that the Earfun Free Pro buds have weak ANC compared to the TOZO NC7 because of the lack of passive isolation with the size. Earfun Free Pro is still my favorite all-around for comfort and sound quality but the NC7 are my fav ANC option now. I think the NC7 just has strong passive noise isolation + its upgraded ANC over the NC9 gives it the best ANC that I've seen at this price range so far, but haven't tried the Soundpeats T2 or the Enacfire A9. I own the NC9 too and my main issue is the battery life on my pair is really poor (talking like 2.5 hours), and has some charging quirks.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Agreed, the nc7 anc tops the efp by alot. The nc2 also. Both tozo anc buds have no extra noise in their anc, while the t2 does, imo.

[@kimberlyjaneoc]

The T2s have the best ANC I've ever heard but I believe the NC7s are all round a better bud, IMO

[@dinosaureatyou]

Great review. The updated nc7 added some improvements.

[@AceRonan]

How do these compare vs the soundpeats t2

[@crunchyice00]

FYI on his site you can do a comparison. www.sozengadgets.com/earbud-comparison It looks like they're louder but with worse latency.

[@jamesdesigns]

Nice vid dude! Hey I have the nc7s and there is a fair bit of static noise... Especially in transparency. Is this something U experienced? Thanks

[@SoZenGadgets]

Hi Jamesdesigns, the nc7, like most of not all ambient mode earbuds has a distinct sound, that could be considered static, when ambient mode is on. Wind will exasperate the noise to unbearable levels on all ambient mode bids I've tried (don't ride a bike with ambient mode on!). Typically even with very low level music playing, the static is rendered reasonably ignorable

[@jamesdesigns]

@@SoZenGadgets thank you!

[@MarkElmore]

They have the ability to have normal mode without returning to the case . A 3rd tap does ANC off ,aka normal mode

[@Citypadi]

I love your reviews as they are very informative and detailed. These NC7 seems like a great choice but im bothered about the volume . Itwass measured at 99DB, Is this loud?

[@SoZenGadgets]

For earbuds it's average volume. for your ears, it's very very loud.

[@MatteoMalvezzi]

I need to get new buds, had NC9s for 2 years. Used the APP to update the firmware and they were great. That is Until the batteries started degrading badly, they wouldn't turn off when put in the case and after 2 years they won't stay on longer than 2 minutes. I did love the way they sounded though. I have come to like having ANC and soundquality while listening to music and movies is my top priority. Here come the questions: I really loved the Soundpeats trueengine 2 soundstage, should I just get the 3se? Is the soundstage "larger" than the nc9? How do they compare to the nc2? The Soundpeats T2? No App for these right? Thanks you're always super informative.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Hey Matteo, what did you end up getting? Seems like SoundPeats has really updated their app and which buds can connect to it - I'd have no issues recommending their earbuds. However, the 3SE and H1 are more accuracy buds, imo. I'd have recommended the T2 for bass.

[@nala6846]

That's EXACTLY what happened to my NC9s! I just chalked it up to it being worn out

[@mikehancock6280]

If you use a iPhone you can go to settings > music > equalizer > treble reducer. This should tame the high frequencies.

Sozen.... I've tried the soundoeats t2 the soundcore life a2nc and sony sp800n all are great my fave is the life a2 nc but curious what you'd say are the loudest earbuds you've heard that have anc and transparency along with having this style of build? I can't do stem style earbuds but I'm Def a volume junkie so need some more volume. Any response would be greatly appreciated!! Take care man!!

[@joefrank1982]

Soundpeats T2 or Tozo nc7 ... also can either one of them do ambient mode with one earbud in your ear? Thanks!

[@trinov65]

Tried these, but I gotta say, I was disappointed, ANC was almost non existing, and very hard to know when it was on or off, another thing I did not like , when I touched the microphone, on any earbud, i got feed back sound! first time ever I experienced that! and the Volume is VERY LOW! even at my device FULL volume It felt like a medium sound as compared to others earbuds( MPOW X3 for example)So i doubt about that 100 BD.. even though they have several tips I could not get a good seal, in short I will keep my NC9 and return these, I think these were Rushed, they need to re engineer these, they have potential though. I love your Channel and follow it daily, as well as your website keep up the good work!

[@crunchyice00]

Very detailed review. Thank you. On the Amazon page for the NC7's there is an image of what the different earbud presses do and single touching the left earbud changes ANC mode. Does that address the item you had on your wishlist or does it do something different?

[@SoZenGadgets]

Hi Michael, you're welcome. The left mfb single press toggles between ANC on & Ambient on modes. My wish is that there be a third option of ANC & Ambient Off, but Tozo seems to like only the first 2 options. So the only way to have them in ANC&Ambient off mode is to turn them off/on and then they default to ANC & AMbient off mode.

[@PModesto]

Tozo NC7 = Jabra Elite 75T with touch controls. First review on KZbin for the NC7. I'm So Zen...

[@SoZenGadgets]

Finally, someone gets it, lol These do look very close to the 75t with touch controls, there're some really small differences in the size of the bud and the Tozo case is smaller. Tozo doesn't have an app, Tozo with wireless charging cost **$150 less** than the 75t with wireless charging...!!

[@GIChow]

@7:03 hey, glad you found the Under Pressure reference useful. So seems these have gone a bit too far in bringing energy to the treble (so opposite to the way the EarFun Free Pro is a bit too polite for me). Interesting, was thinking of getting the ANC NC9 (£40 in UK now) tho Bart at Scarbir describes as maybe too bassy and smooth so sounds like these NC7 may be more to my taste.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Hey GI Chow - yes, very helpful, I added it to my test list for all buds when we talked about it a few weeks back. Bart and I have different opinions for sure, best to use the buds you have and compare your thoughts with the reviewer in question (me, him, whomever...) to see where your more closely aligned. Probably agree with some of what different people think and not all of any - sound is so unique to the beholder!

[@seanseoltoir]

I ordered a set of the NC9 earbuds the other day... I figured that the higher number would be the later version... I have a T10 model and find the audio to be quite acceptable... The only complaint that I have about any of the earbuds is that they won't stay in my ears when I'm putting on a full face motorcycle... And if I can somehow manage to get them to stay in the ear, having the touch controls on the outside edge of the earbud makes it where I can't push them in securely...

[@SoZenGadgets]

Sean, May I suggest checking out the Mifo Sport S? amzn.to/3VRcPx5 These are the smallest earbuds I've reviewed, easily deep in my ears, even for side sleeping. Maybe could solve your issue?

@@SoZenGadgets, You're my go-to guy for all earbud reviews and mic tests! I ended up going with the Earfun Free Pros and have been using it for a few weeks. I still have my Tranya T10's.

Both sound similar but the T10s are more crisper in my voice quality. The NC7s sound a bit more robotic from your videos. I definitely wouldn't rate them in your Top 10.

[@SoZenGadgets]

If your current Tozo's are the T6 or T10, I could relate. These newer NC7's have better, noise cancelling mics - take all earbud mics with a little understanding that a super tiny microphone can only do so much, but the NC7's mics are better than the older non-noise cancelling mics in the T6/10's

I don't know how you are analyzing this... I have them both...the nc9 is the clear winner! They have better sound separation and imaging. Nc7 are more in your face and everything is boosted to a degree less pleasant to listen than nc9. The bass on nc9 are more natural sounding... The roll off and the attack is better than nc7.

[@jonmarsella2417]

I just tested these out in the city where there was a little wind and car traffic. My buddy I was doing the test call with said the traffic was really loud and at times, louder than my voice. This means as much as I loved the design and case of the buds along with good anc and ambient, they must go back. I MUST have good call noice cancellation. I also did have an issues where the ambient on and anc kept toggling while I was walking. It did it more than once. Maybe the wind cause the toggling?? So close, so close.

[@SoZenGadgets]

I wonder if it works better if your back is too the traffic? I haven't seen the wind cause accidental touches, but hair, rain, clothing (like you're hoodie or the ties) does sometimes managed to touch the controls and change something

Great review

[@anarkan191]

Dear Sozen, thank you for a great review on my favourite noise cancelling tws tozos. But please help me out here I am a little confused here and would really appreciate some clarification if you could please. You mentioned that the NC-7 are tuned significantly brighter when comparing them to the last model NC-9 to the point of almost bordering sibilance yet you also add on that they have good ample bass and subbass yet at the closing remarks you mentioned that the NC-9 were slightly brighter than NC-7 ??? I am confused shouldn't that be the other way around ? I don't mind clarity and elevated mids but not a huge fan of super high treble focused earbuds personally, not to say that I want them to be rumbling with bass but I don't want the drums sound like cymbals like chirping glass. Can you please clarify again how sharp is the treble in NC-7 compare to NC-9 ? Because if I go with your closing assesment that NC-9 are tuned slightly brighter than NC-7 then I think I can handle that but it its the otherway around with too much ear piercing treble and weak or no bass persea then I might have to reconsider them as these might not be the best choice for me personally and might have to return them before they even get shipped. Last note, can I please ask the brand name and the model of your wireless chargimg bank with digital display that you used here or where I might be able to get one. I have ordered the NC-7 through your link just hoping that the sound treble would be reasonable with out sharp sibilance. Thanks again for yet another awsome detailed, comprehensive review about the New NC-7 which was exactly just what I was after. Great job 👍

Hope you get this ? Is the noise cancellation strong enough to be effective while riding a scooter or motorbike out on the road? Or do I need apple top quality buds for maximum cancellation.? Thanks !

I thnk the problem with any of those options will be wind noise. Nothing can overcome wind at those speeds. Neither of these can compete with top tier apple noise cancellation, however for the price, they're pretty effective.

[@dzmj3407]

Another excellent detailed review SoZen! The sound signature of the NC7s in your review sound almost like a carbon copy of the sound signature of the TOZO NC2s (stem style) that I mentioned to you after your review of the MPOW X6s. I don't think the NC2s sound as bright as the NC7s the way you described them but as you said, everyone's sound preference's are different. I think the NC2s are actually TOZO's newest model though (at least based on the fact that they are running bluetooth 5.2 version). I actually have the NC7s due to arrive on Tuesday (another free promo from TOZO) so I'm looking forward to testing them out! It would be great if you could get your hand's on a pair of the NC2s. I think they sound absolutely fantastic also. They are exactly the same price as the NC7s but there's a 20% percent coupon discount for them on Amazon right now! You should consider grabbing a pair!

[@dzmj3407]

@Ken Kong I returned my NC-7s as the sound signature didn't sounds good as it did on my NC2s. Maybe I got a bad pair but the level of clarity (particularly the lack of bass response compared to the NC2s, even with EQ applied) was a disappointment. As I said, it could have been a faulty pair. I've been using the NC2s extensively for about 2 weeks now and I'm seriously impressed with the noise cancelling, the ambient noise, etc, and I'm an earbuds junkie with plenty to compare them to. Some of my collection includes: Jabra 75ts with upgraded ANC, Sony WF-SP800N, Soundcore Liberty 2s and Liberty Air2s, Soundcore Spirit X2s, Soundcore Life Q30s, TOZO T-10s, T-12S, NC9s, Earfun Free Pro, Soundpeats H1 so my NC2s are up against some pretty stiff competition and they compete very well, IMHO.

[@dzmj3407]

​@Ken Kong Yes, they are bluetooth 5.2 version. Unfortunately no APT-X codec support. I haven't come across any TOZO earbuds yet that support APTx. They all support AAC & SBC (the default is AAC). As an Android user (I have a One Plus 7 Pro, with Dolby Atmos built in), I would prefer APTx support but in my experience, the manufacturer's tuning of the earbuds and good implementation of a codec is more important. I have a mix of earbuds that contain both and with some I notice the difference, others, I don't. As for the stem style, I have several pairs that put out some pretty impressive bass! (ex, Soundcore Liberty Air2s, OneMore Piston buds are two examples). By the way, I also found that my NC2s to be louder than both the NC7s and the NC9s by a couple of notches. I would estimate them at 100db or so. They get pretty loud!

[@dzmj3407]

@Ken Kong Enacfire makes good products.They all have different sound signatures which is why I have several pair (well, I'm a Tech junkie, lol). It depends on whether you care about noise cancelling or not. The Soundpeats H1 can only be ordered through Kickstarter - don't ask me why! Lol. As for the Apollo Bolds, I returned three pairs because although the noise cancelling is really good (among the best in the sub $100 range and they are bass heavy), the pairing process was finicky with all three and their app implementation was very poor. Clear Ally Audio (not very well known or spoken of) makes some excellent sounding earbuds (they look just like the Apollo bolds but sound far better). They are releasing some new earbuds first week of April. Quoted specs from their website cleeraudio.com/coming_soon/ally-plus-ii/ Cleer Acoustic Labs custom tuned 10mm neodymium drivers deliver dynamic audio performance and powerful bass. Bluetooth® 5.2 with AptX™, AptX™ Adaptive, and dual microphones for enhanced call quality and an App to adjust noise cancelling and ambient noise! (price: $129.00 retail according to an online Rep I spoke with via chat) Sounds promising!

Hey DZMJ - for the NC7, when you take them out of the case they are in anc off & ambient off (unless you turn on ANC or Ambient) and in that mode I also found the bass to be ... lacking. Considering your collection, you're probably just as well saving the $50 lol

[@dzmj3407]

@@SoZenGadgets Hey Sozen, ah ok. Then the NC2s are definitely different in that regard because I barely noticed a shift in sound when listening to them in all three modes. The bass is definitely there regardless of sound mode and its tight too! I think TOZO knocked it out of the park with the NC2s!

[@take1g]

Hi got the NC2 recently, and decided to return it because I felt a little pressure in the ANC mode..is it the same with this one ? Do you feel like air getting sucked in inside the ear ?

[@SoZenGadgets]

I am pretty sensitive to that sensation, but I do try to ignore my personal preferences somewhat for my reviews... The NC7 ANC is not perfect and you can't turn it off, either, so for you, I probably would recommend any other brand bud with hybrid ANC, since you can wear them with ANC off (and ambient off), just Tozo doesn't give that mode other than when the buds first come out of the case (or powering them off/on). Thinking about it, i would have thought the NC2, being a stem style bud, would give less of that feeling than an in-ear dot-style bud, if you wanted to try a bud, try the MPow X6, which doesn't penetrate your ears very far, but still has strong ANC (if you prefer the deep in-ear style buds, then you might not like the X6, but you will struggle to find ANC in the deep ear buds that doesn't give you that feeling you described). I'm pretty chatty tonight lol

Is there a program to control these headphones?

[@jonhalda]

Which one do you recommend this ones or Earfun Free Pro?

[@SoZenGadgets]

Well the Earfun were my favorites of 2020, so they rank high on my list. These NC7 have much stronger ANC, and are much brighter in the treble frequencies, choose based on those differences you can't go wrong, they are both excellent.

[@smartletix]

Great vidro Where is your ranking list? Got the link?

[@SoZenGadgets]

Definitely - my Top 25 #MicSeries Rankings: kzbin.info/aero/PLHHCoHdEBG00VGbb0T83mQ8byBpDkXu94 I've got all the rest in another playlist. I ask in my videos for people to nominate buds into the Top 25 or higher!

[@emarzano265]

I am undecided whether to buy them or the redmi buds 3 pro. What would you recommend to me?

[@SoZenGadgets]

Hi emarzano265 - I'm in the USA, where it's much easier to purchase the Tozo products with a warranty & return policy. If I'm you, that's what I'd want first - easy ship/return and make sure you like them.

[@Matt-fd9hc]

I have the Earfun Free Pro. Being similar in price, would these be a better option than the Earfun Free Pro?

[@SoZenGadgets]

for the mics and if you want to brighten up your sound considerably.

[@jamesdesigns]

He y I've tried wiggling them in their case it doesn't really work I can only manually disconnect it... But then I think it's still charging because when they are removed I hear it say connected but they were already connected according to my device before I took it out... Do you think I have a defective unit?

[@SoZenGadgets]

Maybe one of them is failing to charge/disconnect in the case? Seems like you could figure it out by playing music really loud and listening close to the case to see if the buds are playing in the case.

[@jamesdesigns]

@@SoZenGadgets yes they are not playing in the case usually but tthey don't disconnect

[@PabloTheThinker]

How do these compare with the Earfun Free Pros and Sounpeats T2 for ANC, ambient mode, and calls?

[@SoZenGadgets]

Three solid buds, you can't go wrong with any of them. These NC7 are the brightest of the bunch for sure. Anc is better than earfun, mics too. T2 anc might be stronger but there's some imperfections if you use anc at low volume.

[@jonmarsella2417]

I tried running with these today and they picked up a lot of wind noise because of ambient and ANC. I tried turning them off while running but was unsuccessful for some reason? I think I'd like to try and run with Ambient ans ANC off to see if it cuts down the wind noise. Another thing I noticed was that under water feeling and hearing my footsteps. I was thinking that might be why buds have vents because of running. The seal is just unreal and makes the ANC really strong but could hurt running......maybe I'll try a smaller ear tip

[@SoZenGadgets]

Hi Jon, you could try smaller tips or loosely fit them in what i call "manual ambient mode", just a really loose fit. I would still go for a pair of earhook buds for running - in March/April when it's cold and windy, even the earhook style will not be perfect against the cold wind, but they are still far better than any in-ear earbud, imo.

[@jonmarsella2417]

@@SoZenGadgets I think you're right. There is a pair of amazfits that have a magnetic hooks that detachable and are stored in the case. They don't have ANC but they have ambient. I could give them a try..I just really wanted to get a cheaper brand that had great ANC and ambient that I could work out in and not hear anything but turn on ambient if someone were to talk to me. I also haaaate a big case and prefer wireless charging. I will try the smaller tips. I used the one's that came with the buds. I'll also try running with the ambient and ANC off. Here is the link for those amazfit buds. www.amazon.com/dp/B087P2GZFX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_402118D91PRT53HVGVPW?psc=1

[@evargaslobo]

i love this......BUT!!!! i am on my third pair from Amazon. The right bud keeps getting a high pitch sound and the speaker starts crackling. I order two so that i can charge one while using the other. Just order the last pair see if this ones work better if not im getting my refund.

[@SoZenGadgets]

Is that the nc7? You should probably contact Tozo, maybe they have an issue with their buds? Btw, does that high pitch sound only occur when the buds are in ambient mode? If so, could it be you fingers covering the microphone when you touch the buttons? That wouldn't be uncomment for the ambient mode to freak out when the mics are blocked

How does the ANC compare to the Fiil T1 Pros (or Earfuns)?

[@miladskayaful]

Great review as usual! I bought mine after watching it and for me the sound is just perfect and no problem with high frequencies (I'm 50 years old). The only issue is that they are not usable under direct sunlight as the optical in ear detection sensor is fooled by the infrared of the sun light and the music stops constantly as if I was taking the exposed earbud out manually. really pity. I wish they had tested these also outdoor and not only indoors. what's the use of the IPX6 if you can't use them at a pool in a sunny day....can someone else please confirm? many thanks

[@SoZenGadgets]

Wow, never thought of that as an issue! If it were aunt and warm here I'd try it, maybe today will be ☀️

@@SoZenGadgets Hi and thanks for checking. With one layer of transparent tape the in-ear detection still gets fooled. Will try this afternoon at 5pm with two layers. At noon with 1 layer it seemed immune though

Thanks for the review! I have a pair of these but for some reason, the sound keeps cutting in and out. I am using it with a Macbook Pro (2019) on BigSur. Does anyone else have similar issues? I can't tell if this is because there's just an issue with the computer connection, if it's because of frequency interference because I sit next to the router/modem, or if there's something else I'm not thinking of...

[@kimberlyjaneoc]

I have the updated 2022 version of the NC7s, not sure what was updated, but I am using them with a MacBook Pro 2019 as well and they never miss a beat. Never drop out and they are very loud buds.Can't be more impressed with them and I own a lot of buds

[@ixhxrnrqjoo]

How many mic built in the earbuds?

[@SoZenGadgets]

It's not very clear in the manual, but two for listening to your voice and two more inward facing mics for the anc system, is what I think they have

@@SoZenGadgets then sounds like 2 in a bud and 4 in total in a pair.
