@@John-q5y6o Fortunately I didn't care about ANC or any of the other features they're missing so the pure sound quality was perfect for me. No money wasted on things I don't need.
I just received the QCY HT05 and let's just say that this thing is shocking. It sounded better than my broken JBL headphones with an additional equalizer app to boost bass. I played codm and the latency wasn't bad at all. Maybe it's because I use a phone with the latest blue tooth version (BT 5.4)
Thanks for the review! Decided to pick these up, since I don't like the in-ear silicone tip earbuds. Do you plan to review the QCY Crossky GTR2 in the future?
Interesting features and bass response for the price, at any price actually. Just to share, some months ago i saw the Fiil CC Nano (global version) at $37, so i bought it, and man, the sound, i didn't know a semi in-ear could sound this good, i mean, until then i was using the Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS, wich was praised by every reviewer like one of the best and for some even the best semi in sound quality, and the Fiil was just so much better, fuller sound, a full and deeper bass wich sounds actually real and can be heard outdoors, clean mids, overall just superior, closer to an actuall in-ear rather than a semi like the Soundpeats. So i sold the Soundpeats, they felt and sounded cheap in comparison. Then my thought was: why did i buy the Soundpeats in the first place?, and why everyone said it was the best semi in-ear, if an older competitor was already so much better? It is sad that a tws like this is so unknown, it may be the best sounding semi in-ear out there, it even have a global version, and it has been there for a couple years, but no one talks about it or will, because it is just too old by now. Maybe it is just that it fits my taste and is not really that good..maybe i am the weirdo haha There could be so many other unknown brands out there with amazing products we don't know :c Anyway, you are one of the few who reviews a greater variety of brands and prices, so thanks for that and the detailed videos 💯
Thank you! Yeah I heard good things about the Nano. I had the CC2 and reviewed them on headfi years ago, unfortunately they wouldn't stay in my ears so I skipped the Nano as a result but sounds like they were a great buy for you. I have been meaning to pick up the Key Pro, which with it's dual wearing modes looks really interesting. Thanks for supporting the channel, always good to know people appreciate the content!
I owned 3 pairs of fiil earbuds, they sound really good, but unfortunately, they don't last long. 2 pairs out of 3 stopped charging after a few months of use and I lost one of the pairs. I had the Fiil CC nano, Fiil CC Pro and Fiil Key
@@riyasatarfin3313 I had pretty mixed experiences too. The Key are still going, the T1 XS and T1 Pro worked well too, but the CC2 and CC Pro both died on me. I think it can happen with all these vendors though - FIIL made the Free Pro 1&2 for Earfun and they don't seem to have been panned for reliability any more than any other brand really - maybe we both got unlucky
Dude, you're not crazy, the Fiil CC Nano is really spectacular. I'm a little earbuds enthusiast, among them, I have the SoundPeats Air 4 Lite, Opera 05, fiil cc nano, key pro and waiting for the cc 2 pro to arrive. For comfort and fit, I use the cc nano much more than the Nothing Stick, Buds 3, Buds 2 Pro; the Air 4 Lite is light and comfortable, but I find the sound of the fiil nano a little more complete... in terms of comfort and sound, of the earbuds without rubber, it ends up being the best, even better than the FreeBuds 5... comfort, only loses to the Sony LinkBuds, Bose and FreeClips. Of these headphones, I would stop buying the Air 4 Lite (maybe I would pay attention to the recently released Air 5), 1More Aero is good but lacks flavor, Moondrop SpaceTravel is worth it for the price, I wouldn't buy the Fiil Key Pro again, even though it has the option with/without rubber bands, Opera 05 is also not very exciting, Buds 2 Pro is worth it, it's excellent; I would buy another pair of Tozo T6, it's fantastic; Nothing Stick in my opinion, it's excellent, it has great sound quality, material, very complete; CMF Pro is very good, full-bodied, strong sound; JLab JBuds Mini is inexplicably excellent, it's hard to understand how such a small headphone can produce such high-quality sound; now of the different ones that we have to "ignore" the sound quality and focus on comfort etc., Bose Ultra Open was the biggest waste of money of my life, even for calls it's terrible; Soundcore C30i is worth the price; Now one of them that I don't regret, for the quality of the material, comfort, autonomy, microphone quality and fair sound, is the Huawei Freeclips. Nobody asked, but here is my report that I hope can help someone, someday hehehe
@@rafaelchiara it's good to know i'm not crazy haha seems like you have a great collection so, can i ask you a question? 🙏 Among all of them, which one is the best in transparency mode? Mostly in terms of having the less occlusion effect? That's why i use the CC Nano, i can't stand hearing my own body sounds, but i want to get an in-ear that feels similar, that is, comfortable and with little occlusion effect. I heard Fiil CC Pro 2 has some kind of ear pressure release, which make them have almost no occlusion effect, plus they have a natural transparency mode. Could you let me know about it once you receive them please 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! I think HT05 is more versatile and a better overall option unless you don't like the feel of silicone tips in your ears. Really does come down to that - I always keep a semi in ear pair on me because every so often I'll feel a bit violated by normal earbuds 😭 but overall the HT05 sounds better for sure
Thank you! I don't know if you caught it but there's a little comparison between these and the Air4 right at the end, around 16:00. To be honest, not a huge difference. Both tuned quite similarly although the treble is a bit more extended on the Air4. Both of them sound quite thin with ANC off. Overall I marginally prefer the QCY - I think you're just getting better value overall with the features and stronger ANC, even if sound-wise there's very little difference
Yeah not really an upgrade, more an alternative or accompaniment depending if you prefer semi-in-ear or like the option of having them to give your ear canals a rest. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this review! May I have any recommendations for other semi in ear if I have a budget around 50 (flexible if is worth it)? Not the soundpeats 4, I watched until the end your review 😂 Sorry if someone else already ask it!
Thank you for watching! I heard Huawei FreeBuds SE 2 are meant to be good, haven't tried them myself though. I quite liked the QCY. Not much in the way of options in that mid-budget category unfortunately 😢
@ReganCipher bro, I watched your QCY MELOBUDS PRO review video, now after watching ALLYBUD Pro Plus I'm bit confused which one to choose.. Can you please suggest me which one will be better for sound quality, comfort & everyday use ?
Ailybuds Pro is only really if you don't like the feel of silicone tips. Both HT05 and Melobuds Pro sound good. HT05 is warmer and thicker, with smoother vocals. Melobuds Pro is better for energetic music, bass is punchier and treble is sharper. Melobuds Pro has better ANC and more features
Qcy, all I ask you, a new product with the quality of the microphones of the Ht05 Melobuds, proximity sensor for automatic play-pause and multipoint, but really I insist, this product must have at least the quality of phone call from Ht05 Melobuds, otherwise, it's not worth it. 🙏🏽
Thank you! Unless you really prefer original Airpod style (no silicone tip) then HT05 is better overall. The case and earbud design are nicer on HT10, sound and ANC are better on HT05. Plus you can use HT05 for exercise without them falling out 👍
Melobuds Pro has better features but in terms of sound, listen to the binaural samples and decide what sounds best for you (that's why I include them, everyone's idea of what sounds good is different)
Have you listened to Huawei Freebuds SE2? It seems they have a more balanced sound and a better call quality, but without ANC and almost twice cheaper. Their control scheme is also pretty basic
No I haven't tried them - unfortunately, due to Huawei's congress ban, if I do a Huawei review nobody from the US tunes in, and most of my subscribers are from US 😭 I may give them a try anyway but that shape typically doesn't really stay in my ears well so let's see..... Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate the comment! 🙌
Personally, I think it's a huge upgrade. The T20 was very basic by comparison, the sound was too bright and I struggled to get the controls to work properly. The Ailybuds Pro+ by contrast is more balanced sounding, has ANC (although as you'll have heard in the review it is only very slight due to the form factor) and it feels like a much more premium product overall
Hahaha we only talked about it yesterday.....the whole time I've been going in there filming the staff have never asked what I'm doing. They know my name and know my drink but have never been curious enough to ask me about it....I guess they're happy I keep coming back though. They do a loyalty scheme, thankfully!
ordered, tried .. and nope, not hearing any ANC .. despite 'good wear' on both sides, even tried with some extra sealing tips I got for the Baseus way back when .. well, at least they were cheap ...
@ImTiredOfFindingAGoodHandle an older pair....a something, can't remember what. They remind me a bit of Baseus, which isn't a bad thing, but they aren't audio specialists like QCY are. They have contacted me and asked me to test and review some of their new products, but I haven't decided yet as it's not really a brand I'm interested in
@@ReganCipher interesting that both picun and baseus use "bisa sound effects" in their advertising, i wounder if they are related or picun just copied the name 🤔
th-cam.com/video/mHzRXc5eZGI/w-d-xo.html - covered it in this video, not sure there's necessarily a 'better' between the two, but Melobuds Pro has the more features. I included ANC and sound samples so you can hear the difference yourself
@@ReganCipher I've seen both videos, I am really turn between the two, I liked the ailybuds pro+ for it is not an in-ear budz but the specs is not that good compared to melobuds pro in terms of battery capacity. I was wondering if they both have the same sound profile?
@memongshidiaz2600 did you listen to the binaural samples? That's why I include them, with the graphs, so you can see and hear for yourself. The HT10 loses bass impact due to the shape, so the trebles are rolled off to balance the sound. The HT08 (Melobuds Pro) is more v-shaped, there's more bass impact and the upper midrange pops out a bit more so you can hear vocals clearer balanced against the bass
Excellent in depth review. I've had this brand before, but I'll definitely be getting these soon.
Thank you! 🙌

Haha I'm patiently awaiting their arrival! 😄
Choosing between this one and soundpeats. Qcy more affordable, cheaper for 15$. What would you recommended?
Probably the QCY, it's just a bit annoying you have to switch the ANC on every time you take them out of the case
Great in-depth review once again!

@@ReganCipher Thanks for responding. I might actually get the HT05 instead. Looking forward to more fire reviews!

ever tried the Baseus Storm 3? They are also semi open and claim ANC, which I found rather 'meh' ... at least this QCY is like half the price ...

Alybuds pro+ or melobuds pro which is better overall and in sound quality?which one should I buy?
Melobuds Pro has better features but in terms of sound, listen to the binaural samples and decide what sounds best for you (that's why I include them, everyone's idea of what sounds good is different)
Do you have a video or any recommendations about non-apple earbuds of this style without budget restrictions?
There aren't many, but I've got a review coming of the Huawei FreeBuds 5 and I'm hoping to try and get hold of Samsung Galaxy Buds 3
