My opinion, however, changed when I listened to some songs with the QCY T13. Sound-wise, this is a significant upgrade to the T11, and considering that both cost about the same price, I’ll say you’re getting a great deal if you bought the T13. It’s a nicer sounding QCY T11, and that for me is enough reason to go with this earbud

I’ve already gone over how the QCY T13 connects to your phone using Bluetooth 5.0 and the low-latency advantages it brings to the table. Another thing to note is that interruptions or stutters are almost none existent with the QCY T13. I don't know because I haven't been in crowds, but it is stable in the home. Distance tolerance is a bit weak and tends to be a bit choppy at distances of about 5 meters. Also, the connection was broken when a barrier was placed. It’s an issue I’ve seen with some other ultra-cheap earbuds (looking at you Mpow Mdots), but somehow, it’s not a problem on the QCY T13. Snare drums, claps, and cymbals have solid texture, and these are the most striking examples of instruments that come from your left and right in the music. The T17 has an airy sound, with excellent separation in between instruments and vocals. It's caused by the fact that the T17 properly opens up the upper mid-tones and highs. Higher-pitched vocals and brighter instruments like violins are forward and sound formidably clear - rarely sharp, always well-presented and nuanced. Female and higher-pitched male vocals are slightly forward and stand out from instruments surrounding them, yet upper-mids and highs stay in control. Unlike other recent QCY's, highs roll off quite early and never sound too harsh or bright. Usually, piercing sounds like claps and cymbals don't penetrate your ears.

QCY T13 Comparisons

In terms of build quality, the QCY T13 don’t look especially solid, but feel decently robust and, in fact, they feel rather robust for the asking price. I unfortunately dropped them a couple of times and they came away without even a scratch. They are IPX5 certified, so they can withstand a variety of situations including hot showers. Comfortable is, however, top-notch on the QCY T13. When you have these on, it’s almost as if they’re not there. That’s in part down to just how light the T13 is. It’s arguably one of the lightest TWS earbuds I’ve reviewed, and it’s certainly lighter than the other alternatives I just mentioned. The T13 also has a very streamlined form factor. I talked about this earlier but what it does is allow this earbud fit to the contours of your ear such that it doesn’t push on any ear structure and thus doesn’t cause any discomfort. I’ve gone hours with the QCY T13 in-ear without having to worry the slightest bit about uncomfortable. !00% recommended these earbuds if you need something you could use to binge-watch your favorite series a whole weekend. The spec sheet Okay, I’ll say it from the start design-wise, this is just another QCY T11, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’ve read my review of the QCY T11, you’d know I really did like the design of that earbud. The QCY T13 is practically the same and what that means is you get a streamlined, somewhat curvy earbud that is more minimalist than it is bold. The design language is bold but minimal and it works quite well on the QCY T13 The QCY T13 delivers a spacious, deep sound that brings more low frequencies to the forefront while remaining neutral. Music will sound more grandiose, with an enhanced sense of scale. The clarity is high, and the bass-enhanced listening sound is quite well-balanced.

Bluetooth 5.0 is not the top-of-the-line Bluetooth tech available today (the Haylou W1, for instance, ships with Bluetooth 5.2), but I’ll say it’s good enough for the QCY T13. It still provides the same ten-meter range you’d find on the Haylou W1, and although latency doesn’t match that of the W1, I’ve used the T13 for weeks now without having any problems with audio latency. Soft-touch controls Soundstage has a bit of width and almost no depth, so it sounds as if music were reproduced in a small space that extends to the sides. Imaging is limited to the three basic positions: left, centre and right. Anything else is basically reduced to one of these three. Instrument separation is somewhat hampered by the bass, but it’s still very much decent. Conversely, the T13 amplifies the voice of the other party to deliver a similar warm, soft and clear speech to your ears. Like its predecessors, the QCY T13 slides in-ear without any hassle. I will, however, say that the fit is not as secure as would be something like the Mpow Mdots or the Haylou W1. One reason for this is the glossy finish on the T13. Believe it or not, it sort of makes it slippery so that over time they tend to slip out of position when you have them in-ear.Range on the QCY T13 is the standard ten meters. Of course, in the presence of walls and other solid barriers, this drops (to about six meters), but I’ll have to say the T13 still manages to handle obstruction quite well – even better than some pricier TWS earbuds. I’ve had my connected device stay in the living room and pretty walked to other parts of my apartment without losing connection. Should you buy the QCY T13 Overall the QCY T13 is a well worth upgrade over the QCY T11, T11S and T12 The T13 comes with four microphones; I already mentioned that. They work to deliver what is an excellent call performance on this earbud. Making and answering calls on the T13 is nothing short of awesome. Everyone on the other end of the call will hear your voice in a warm and soft sound profile.
