Review: The QCY HT03 wireless earbuds offer strong ANC for their ultra-cheap price. Test and comparison vs Earfun Air Pro 2, Realme Buds Air 2 Neo, QCY T13.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The QCY HT03 earbuds deliver surprisingly capable hybrid active noise cancellation at a very budget-friendly price. Their sound is competent but leans bass-heavy, and while build quality and fit are solid, overall refinement is not their strongest suit. For the cost, they offer strong value if ANC is the priority over audio polish.

What works

  • Very effective hybrid ANC for the price
  • Comfortable, secure fit with ergonomic design
  • Solid build quality and nice case design
  • Good battery life, especially with the charging case

What doesn't

  • Sound is bass-heavy and not particularly detailed
  • No quick charging support
  • Lacks wireless charging and transparency mode
  • Overall audio performance is unexciting for the class

The reviewer concludes that the QCY HT03 is an unusually strong value at its low price, mainly because its ANC performs better than expected. The tradeoff is that the earbuds are competent rather than polished, so sound and overall refinement are not their strongest points.

The QCY HT03 offers a comfortable fit and capable active noise cancelling, but don't expect the most refined wireless earbuds at its 40 dollars price point. Buy QCY HT03 on Amazon US Buy QCY HT03 on Amazon Germany Buy QCY HT03 from other Amazon countries Buy QCY HT03 on AliExpress I received the QCY HT03 from the manufacturer to test and review. My reviews are 100% independent and non-commercial. I test and review all audio products equally honest - read about it here . Consider buying this earphone? I'd really appreciate it if you use the links in this article . It won't cost you extra, yet it will financially support me a bit in my ongoing quest for great affordable audio. <3 Also read: Guide: The best sounding true wireless earphones under $50 Leaderboard: All rated wireless earphones

Just what I was looking far!

My first pair of ear buds and I love them. Great quality for the price!

Not noise canceling but a decent quality

I bought them to be able to communicate with clients while working remotely. The sounds quality is good but it’s definitely not noise canceling, my background noise was very apparent. I use them justRead more

Good but not great while they lasted

The sound quality is fine. And the ANC definitely has some effect. The microphone is disappointing--- people say it sounds like I am on speakerphone. One of them started failing a few months in: you should probably look elsewhere.

Great Headphones to start, lack of quality and Warranty Support

Enjoyed the headphones for 5 months, wore them everyday during work, and at the gym. Noise canceling worked, sound quality was great, and battery life was more then I needed. No complaints. However,Read more
