Why we love this deal

If you're still searching for the right gift to give this holiday, consider the old saying about big things coming in small packages. While big-ticket items in massive boxes may wow, breaking down all that cardboard is enough to give the happiest people sour grapes come December 26. If you truly want to blow their socks off, get them something impressive that fits in their pockets.

The $70 Tozo Nc20 Active Noise-Canceling Earbuds are on sale for just $40 at Amazon, which amounts to a 43% discount. Not only does this little gift come with a lot of the features of far more expensive earbuds, but it will also arrive in time for the holiday.

Why do shoppers love it?

While they don't have a fancy brand name, these earbuds are sleek, powerful, and most of all, dependable. For one, the battery life on this pair is almost unbelievable. On a full charge, you can expect up to 16 hours of playtime, with a total of 80 hours of battery life in the charging case. Many earbuds don't offer half as much staying power, especially at this price point. The gorgeous LED display provides insights on remaining battery life, too, so you'll never forget to charge the pair.

Its AI-powered noise-canceling capability is seriously intuitive and minimizes everything from noise to wind. This feature works especially well when you're making or taking calls, so communication comes in clear, no matter what end you're on. Plus, with the spatial audio effect, you can tap into newfound levels of immersion, whether you're watching action movies or playing a new game. This feature takes sound effects, soundscapes, and even music and breathes new life into them for a level of escapism you've never heard before.

Aside from that, these earbuds simply work, connecting seamlessly with your phone, tablet, laptop, and even TV. Shoppers are amazed by how many features this pair comes packed with.

"A major highlight for me is the sound quality. It's great right out of the box, but I love being able to easily customize it using the Tozo app's equalizer," one shopper said. "This lets me fine-tune the sound — whether I need deep bass for my favorite music or higher treble when I'm listening to audiobooks. Overall, I'm completely satisfied and very happy and surprised by the quality and features available at this price point."
