In this video, I review the QCY HT03 active noise cancelling (ANC) true wireless earbuds and run a real mic test so you can hear what you’re getting at this price. The HT03 starts at around 60 USD (roughly RM250), and the unit I tested comes in this “starry black” finish with a UV polished coating. I actually like how the case feels in hand, and if you look closely, you’ll notice those shimmering, powdery specks that match the name. For the main highlight—sound and ANC—this is a hybrid ANC setup rated up to 35dB. In my experience, even with ANC on, I can still hear a little bit of my surroundings, but there’s a clear difference when cycling between ANC, normal, and transparency mode. Transparency mode is especially useful if you’re jogging or cycling because it keeps you more aware of what’s happening around you. With a 10mm driver and AAC/SBC support, the bass comes through punchy and the notes sound quite rich, especially once the environmental noise is reduced. I also test the mic in a controlled room with both earbuds in my ears, and for the price, I’d say the microphone is fairly decent. Battery-wise, I’m thankful it charges via USB-C, and you can get up to 6 hours on a single charge, or 24 hours total with the case. Overall, if you want a budget-friendly way to experience ANC and you enjoy listening to music, the QCY HT03 is honestly pretty impressive for 60 bucks.
