The TOZO PA2 is a pill-shaped portable speaker that punches above its weight for the price. At just £42, it’s an attractive choice for anyone seeking decent sound quality, portability, and stylish design.
Design and Build Quality
Straight out of the box, the PA2 impresses with its elegant, minimal design. The model we reviewed came in black, and it looks far more premium than the price tag suggests. It’s compact enough to slip into a bag and features a lanyard loop for easy carrying or attaching to a backpack.
At 540g, it has just enough heft to feel well-built, and the waterproof rating means it’s ready for life outdoors—whether you’re poolside, at the park, or caught in a classic British downpour.
Connectivity and Features
The speaker uses Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring quick pairing and a stable connection within a 10m range. It supports both AAC and SBC playback and even allows for Bluetooth calling, which is a handy bonus if you’re using it at your desk or around the house.
It charges via USB-C and takes around 3 hours to fully charge. Once charged, it offers up to 25 hours of playback, depending on volume and usage.
Sound Quality
For the price, the sound quality is surprisingly solid. The speaker features dual 8W full-range drivers and dual passive radiators, giving it a full-bodied output that easily fills a room.
EQ Modes and Performance
The TOZO PA2 comes with three onboard EQ modes, which you can toggle using the physical buttons. While the bass isn’t mind-blowing, it’s more than acceptable—especially for acoustic tracks, podcasts, or vocal-led music. The mid and high frequencies shine here, giving vocals a clean, crisp profile.
If you’re playing bass-heavy genres like hip hop or dance, the low-end might feel a little underwhelming—but again, at this price, it’s hard to complain.
Ease of Use
The control layout is intuitive, with buttons for power, volume, play/pause, mode, and Bluetooth pairing. You can use it horizontally or vertically depending on your space, and pairing with devices is seamless.
There’s also the option to pair two PA2 speakers together for stereo sound, although we only tested a single unit.
Verdict: Is It Worth Buying?
At £42, the TOZO PA2 offers excellent value for money. It’s well-designed, portable, waterproof, and loud enough for indoor and casual outdoor use. While audiophiles may find the bass a bit lacking, the overall sound is balanced and enjoyable, especially for vocals and acoustic music.
This is a great speaker for casual listening, travel, or as a reliable everyday Bluetooth companion. If you’re after a sleek speaker that performs well without costing the earth, the PA2 is well worth a look.
