QCY - T1

QCY make some pretty small ones, like the T1 which are smaller than they look. They even used to make even smaller ones that are skin colored, so less conspicuous, and if they were seen they'd look kind of like a hearing aid or something. I can't find any of those now. Anyhow, all the QCY earbuds I've used have worked fine and been of decent quality even though it's a budget brand. Sound quality is not great, but not too bad.

When buying those budget chinese brands, sometimes different products by the same brand can vary a lot in quality, so you can check for example scarbir.com for reviews. This page gives a thumbs-up to the QCY QS1, which seems like it's the same as the TC1 (another common thing in cheap chinese buds is same thing sold under different brands). https://www.scarbir.com/tws/qcy-qs1-review I literally have an old pair of these sitting right next to me, I use to mow the lawn while wearing them We're talking under $25 buds here so if they work at all it's hard to argue with the value for money even if sound quality is not tops.

I just checked the prices on those and trust me, I’ve been buying Bluetooth since the single QCY mini 2 that had micro usb on the buds. Fun fact: I remember wanting wireless earbuds so bad in 2014, I got 2 of’em, paired each of them individually to my 2014 MacBook Air and BOOMM! I basically had what Apple did years later with the AirPods. After those I got the QCY T1, T2, T3…until the AirPods got released. Then I switched to apple! And if there’s 1 thing I learn, it is, nothing under $70 is worth it unless it’s temporary. Like a few month ago I lost the right side of my AirPods Pro and since I wasn’t interested one their 2ndneed time to thoroughly research replacements, I got the TOZO anc earbuds for $30 in the meantime. However they were so bad, I quickly got the Nothing ear 2024 for over $100 and I dont miss my AirPods Pro no mo’!
