QCY produce a range of widely patronized audio devices at budget prices.
The QCY T1C is an example of such true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds made by the company.
Out of the box, there’s a pair of earbuds, a charging case and a USB cable.
Also, you get a set of replaceable earcups.
It’s worth noting that the T1C model in particular does not have a covering for the case, unlike other models.
It does the job anyway and sometimes makes taking out the earbuds easier to do.
Pros
- QCY-T1C has a relatively good connectivity range compared to other wireless earbuds in its price range.
- The earbuds fit tightly within the ear and so they are less likely to fall out.
- The sound quality is fair and good enough for most audio.
(You can adjust the sound quality using the equaliser within your music app)
Cons
- One major disadvantage of these earbuds is the stethoscope effect. Since the earbuds are tucked tightly in the ear, subtle sounds such as your heartbeat and breathing are amplified.
- You may hear echoes while speaking to others with the earbuds on.
Audio Experience
These earbuds can totally block off any sounds in the environment so I would advise keeping one ear out for sounds when you’re walking down the street.
Most times, the audio is skewed towards treble and high-pitched sounds. Bass and other subtle instrumental sounds may be light.
How to pair QCY earbuds
- Take out both earbuds to set them to pairing mode.
(The LED should blink red and white)
- Turn on Bluetooth on the device you want to pair with.
- On your device, search for QCY-T1C.
- Tap the name to pair with earbuds.
How to charge earbuds
- Place both earbuds in the charging case.
- Connect the charging case to an adapter or laptop using the USB cable.
(The lights on the back of the case should turn white and the LED on your earbuds should turn red)
Play/Pause Audio
- Tap the top of the earbuds to pause and tap again to play.
- Tap twice on the right earbud to skip; tap twice (2x) on the left earbud to rewind.
