QCY T11 test: the wireless headphones that we did not expect at this level!

A few weeks ago, we received wireless headphones from QCY, the T11s. According to the opinions on various sites and in particular AliExpress, the latter would have excellent audio quality while being sold for around thirty euros according to the promotions in force. Curious and excited to test these Bluetooth headphones, here is without further delay our test of the QCY T11, Chinese wireless headphones, certainly, but not to be overlooked.

A design that does not bring any real novelty

In recent years, it has become difficult for manufacturers to revolutionize the design of wireless headphones. These QCY T11 are no exception to the rule, we find in-ear type headphones, that is to say that they will be inserted inside the ear canal. This type of earphone, hated by some, loved by others, reduces ambient noise passively, thanks to the silicone tips. Moreover, you can change these so that these QCY T11 are perfectly inserted in your ears, three tips will be provided to you. An incorrect earmold size will cause noise pollution, loss of audio quality and poor isolation from outside noise.

Each earphone has a touch zone to change music, restart, turn them off or pair them to a new device. On the side of the charging box, there too, there is nothing extraordinary, the headphones will fit perfectly inside in order to be recharged. The latter allows you to listen to nearly seventeen hours in a row or the equivalent of 262 songs, thanks to its 600 mAh battery which will recover one hour of autonomy in just eleven minutes using the USB-C port under this box.

However, this case with this shiny black color shows fingerprints, which can give sweats to the most manic among you.

In terms of ergonomics, these QCY T11 fit perfectly in our ears. After short running sessions, they never flinched or slipped from our ears. In comparison, the Sony WF-SP800N struggle to hold even though they are cut out for sport, not to mention that the tips sometimes get stuck in the ear canal. The Bluetooth headphones from QCY are a pleasant surprise!

Impressive audio quality for only €30

So, for thirty euros, don't expect high quality codecs. The QCY T11s are equipped with a relatively classic codec, AAC and SBC. Nevertheless, these codecs which are nevertheless classic are combined with seven millimeter drivers of good quality. This makes it possible to provide a larger frequency range in order to have a better immersion in the music.

In use, the QCY T11s offer very good sound quality. On our side, QCY's wireless headphones have successfully passed our test battery, namely: the latest ACDC album, Metallica's Blacklist album, some Eminem music for the bass, and Lindsey Stirling to judge the treble with his sublime violin. We tested all of this with a default equalizer that is available on the app.

The mids are often hidden by the presence, yet balanced, of the bass. When it comes to treble, we don't come close to that dear Lindsey Stirling's crystal-clear violin sound, but 90% of the time it will be more than adequate for the general public. As a reminder, the QCY T11 wireless headphones are sold for around thirty euros. Nevertheless, you have the possibility to modify all this a little using the application and its equalizer!

An application that allows you to configure the QCY T11s as you wish

As we said earlier, by default, the sound of the QCY T11s is good, precise, but the bass covers the mids. However, it is possible to remedy this thanks to the application designed for wireless headphones from QCY. The latter, which is available free of charge on the Google Play Store and the App Store, will allow you to manage the different functionalities of the touch zone, but also to manage the equalizer of the QCY T11.

The equalizer gives the user the possibility to change the levels as they wish, if you want more bass, more treble or more midrange, it is doable. And, if you do not want to touch these settings, because they are too complicated to configure, predefined modes are available.

We also tested the gaming mode, which offers sound equalization that allows you to highlight a lot more sound, such as enemy footsteps in Call of Duty Mobile, or other sounds in other genres games. Is it practical? Yes, but also not useful to use it every time even if you can put a shortcut in the touch area of ​​an earphone.
