If the earphone stops working, does not turn on, and the indicator does not light up

I decided to add to this article one solution that has already saved more than one thousand Xiaomi AirDots and Earbuds headphones (more details in this article). Since QCY are the younger brothers of Xiaomi, perhaps this solution can also be applied to them.

It happens that the earphone completely stops working and does not respond to anything. The indicator does not light up even after installing the device in the case. In this case, try pressing the button on the earphone and at the same time putting the earphone in the charging case. You can also hold down the button on the earphone and, without releasing it, put it in the case.

It is unlikely that you will be able to do this the first time. Try several times.

How to choose QCY wireless headphones?

Wireless headphone brand QCY produces Xiaomi-based headphones. QCY products belong to the budget price segment, however, without loss of quality and ergonomics. When considering the models of these headphones, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:

The appearance of the headphones. The appearance is determined by in-ear or on-ear liners. The first ones are compact, but not very comfortable, as they often fall out of the ears. The second ones are too large, but retain their charge for a long time and do not lose quality for a long time.
Frequency range. The standard value is considered to be a spread in the range of 20 Hz. up to 20000 Hz. The greater the spread, the higher the quality of the reproduced sound.
Soundproofing. This characteristic plays an important role for people who often answer calls or listen to music in noisy places.
Bluetooth version. The Bluetooth version affects how long the headphones can operate without recharging and the data transfer speed. The best choice would be the latest version available for 2021-2022 - 5.0.

In addition to the main characteristics, it is also important to pay attention to:

Type of control. Can be touch, button or combined;
Is it possible to control and configure the headphones through an application on the phone;
Is voice assistant or voice control support available?
Are the headphones protected from sweat and moisture getting inside?
Is there built-in memory and MP3 player?

Review of the best models

Let's look at the best models of wireless headphones depending on their design.

The best in-channel (vacuum) models

They are a soundproofing structure . The silicone tip ensures a complete seal between the eardrum and the speaker membrane.

The sound guide is placed directly into the ear canal, so the melody is transmitted as accurately as possible, without distortion.

In-ear headphones are ergonomic and wear-resistant.

Unpacking and packaging

Starting with the QCY T11S, the packaging design has completely changed. It is therefore not surprising that the packaging design of the new generation of QCY T13 headphones remains very similar to the T11S headphone model.

For example, on the front side of the package you can see a drawing of a charging box with headphones and the model name. Also on the box itself there is written a lot of different information about the features and functions of the newly baked model.

Meanwhile, inside the box there was a standard set of various accessories. That is, here I found a charging box with headphones, a Type-C charging cable, instructions for use and a set of additional silicone ear pads. Well, I figured out the package, now I propose to find out about the main design features.

Price and where to buy cheaper?

At the time of writing, the price for the new model of TWS headphones QCY T13 was only $20.34 with a 35% discount.

Therefore, I can once again say with confidence that the QCY company does not just produce headphones with similar features. And it manufactures its new products wisely and makes devices with worthy improvements over its predecessors.

Battery and operating time

As is often the case, I did not find information about the battery capacity in the QCY T13 headphones. But the manufacturer promises about 8 hours of battery life when listening to music and about 5 hours during phone calls.

In fact, in my test, the T13 headphones lasted exactly 5.5 hours at maximum volume. I think that if you listen to music at 70-80%, the battery life will increase by at least 1 hour.

I know the capacity of the charging box and it is 380 mAh. Therefore, you can easily recharge the headphones 3-4 times, and the total operating time will be around 28-30 hours.

It’s also worth saying that the headphones charge in 1 hour and 10 minutes in the charging box. But the case itself charged in 2 hours via a Type-C connection. And yes, there is no wireless charging method here.
