QCY launched the QCY T18 MeloBuds in mid-May, looking at its excellent appearance, I also started one, so how the specific performance is, let's take a look.
Exterior design
Unwrapped the package, it is still the familiar packaging design, at a glance you know that it is produced by QCY, without a trace of change. Internal items are: QCY T18 MeloBudsX1, Type-C Charging Cable X1, Product Instruction Manual X1, Silicone Earbuds X2, Activation Badge X1.
The QCY T18 MeloBuds charging case adopts the mainstream pebble shape, the surface is smooth and rounded, and the texture is good.
The headphones are designed for a short handle, and the overall color is all white, which is white from the inside out, and I hope that the performance can also be white and flawless.
The front is the battery indicator, the bottom is the charging port, and the side is the Bluetooth pairing function button decorated with the LOGO decoration. It can be said that the design of the QCY T18 MeloBuds has an international style in appearance, which is suitable for most consumers to wear daily, in contrast, the design of the headphones I have more good feelings for it.
Usage experience
QCY T18 MeloBuds adopts an in-ear short handle design, personally feel that the wearing experience is OK, stable and not easy to slip off, wearing almost 1 hour or so will not feel very tired. A total of three sizes of earbuds can meet the needs of different users.
QCY T18 MeloBuds also uses a touch design, the operation logic is not special with the mainstream headphones on the market, easy to get started. Experiences like turning on and off, answering/hanging up calls, previous/next songs, voice assistant functions, etc. are also OK, without too many false touches.
In terms of battery life, the total capacity of the charging box is 380mAh, the battery capacity of the headset is 45mAh, from the perspective of one week of use, the one-ear endurance can reach 7 hours, if used with the charging compartment, the total endurance can reach 0 hours, which is not a problem at all for a week's commuting, and it is absolutely enough to go out on business.
In terms of call noise reduction, this time the QCY T18 MeloBuds did binaural 4-m HIGH-definition call noise reduction, can effectively filter the noise in the environment, I encountered a variety of complex situations when I was talking outdoors, QCY T18 MeloBuds can be at ease, especially in terms of anti-wind noise, riding an electric car to work is most afraid of encountering wind noise, but when I wear QCY T18 MeloBuds, the call is very stable, and the other party complains about the problem of poor sound.
In addition, QCY T18 MeloBuds is also equipped with Qualcomm 3050 chip, upgraded to Bluetooth 5.2 version, compared to Qualcomm 3040 chip, its connection range, transmission speed are greatly improved, but also further reduce power consumption, enhance stability and anti-interference ability, so in the room even if separated by two walls can be stable connection, normal listening to songs. And the Hall switch allows the headset to be connected to the phone with the lid open, saving the effort of connecting again.
At the same time, QCY T18 MeloBuds also supports dual-device intelligent connection, that is to say, the headset can be connected with two Bluetooth devices in real time, like I used QCY T18 MeloBuds to connect two mobile phones at the same time, so that I can easily answer incoming calls without affecting the drama. Not only that, but the QCY T18 MeloBuds can also connect mobile phones and tablets, which is more important for business people.
Finally, to talk about sound quality, QCY T18 MeloBuds uses a 10mm dynamic sound unit, which supports aptX Adaptive ultra-high resolution sound quality, and also supports Qualcomm Snapdragon listening audio technology, which makes the music listening to a higher level.
I tried the music of different tracks, and found that the sound quality of QCY T18 MeloBuds has indeed improved a lot, the low frequency dive has depth, the mid-frequency is full, the high frequency is also relatively transparent, combined with the decoding of aptX, the detail reduction is still relatively high.
For example, when I auditioned Cai Qin's "Zhang San's Song", a representative work, Cai Qin's songs generally belong to the midrange range, which can represent the range of most popular songs. In terms of the details of this song, QCY T18 MeloBuds has a good degree of reduction to the midrange part, the bass part is sufficient, the submerged has strength, the treble range is wide, and the layering is poor. However, these are not enough to affect the need to wear this headset as a daily listening to popular music.
Summary
In summary, the sharing of QCY T18 MeloBuds true wireless Bluetooth headset is here! The overall advantages are very many, comfortable wearing, sufficient battery life, surging sound quality, high-fidelity call quality, dual device intelligent connection these are real selling points and highlights.
