Our Verdict

TOZO T6 Truly Wireless

Samson SR850

The TOZO T6 Truly Wireless and the Samson SR850 have different strengths, and you may prefer either, depending on what you're looking for. The TOZO are Bluetooth earbuds with a bass-rich sound profile. They're better suited for uses like sports or commuting since they passively isolate you from much more noise and have a much more compact and stable fit. On the other hand, the Samson are semi-open over-ear headphones intended for audiophiles. They have a much better passive soundstage performance and a brighter, more detailed sound profile.
