Today in our review I want to share an alternative version of wireless headphones called QCY T1C, which are very similar to Xiaomi Airdots.
QCY recently introduced its latest fully wireless headphones with Bluetooth 5.0 version, so in this article we will look at all the advantages, disadvantages and determine the sound quality, whether they are better than wireless headphones from Xiaomi.
From China you can order QCY T1C for around $30, so we will rate them as low end of the segment.

Supplied in a thick cardboard box. Inside the package is the following set:
- a case with inserts inserted into the recesses;
- Micro USB charging cable;
- ear pads in three sizes – 3 pairs;
- instructions, including in Russian.
The length of the cord for connecting to the power source is 18 cm. Two pairs of silicone ear pads with sizes L and S are packed in a plastic bag. A pair of size M is already inserted into the headphones, as this is the type that suits most users.
Appearance and build quality
TWS headphones QCY T1C are delivered in a more or less simple box , inside which the buyer finds the headphones themselves, already in a case and with medium ear pads on. 2 more pairs of replaceable ear pads, USB-microUSB charging cable and instructions.
Expecting something more from headphones for $34 is, at the very least, presumptuous. However, some competitors in a similar price category already have USB Type-C.
