Like the QS1, the QCY QS2 isn't the best overall true wireless option for watching movies or calling, but much is forgiven thanks to the great sound quality for the price. The bigger battery case is a nice addition and well worth a few dollars extra.

Why you should upgrade to QS2 | QCY QS1 VS QCY QS2

TekNixHaX64.3K viewsMay 2019

The reviewer compares the QCY QS2 to the QS1, finding them nearly identical in size, fit, range, and sound quality. The main reasons to upgrade to the QS2 are its IPX4 water resistance, a translucent lid that prevents dust buildup, and significantly better battery life (4 hours vs. 3 hours) with a larger charging case. The reviewer concludes the QS2 is a worthwhile upgrade mainly for the battery and water resistance.
