The joke about tangled wires from headphones will soon definitely become a thing of the past. After all, more and more people prefer to buy a wireless headset. Headphones QCY Q29 look really impressive - no wires! The device is designed to play music and work as a mono-headset. For portable headphones they have quite decent sound quality, although for audiophiles it is better to pay attention to more expensive models.
Design
The QCY Q29 package is quite wide:
- 2 headphones, right/left;
- box for storing / charging headphones;
- USB cord for recharging;
- 2 spare pairs of pads for earplugs.
Fit, by the way the headphones and other silicone pads, but they can not fit into the box and then the headset can not be recharged. When charging, it is advisable to align each earphone with the protruding metal brackets, and if necessary, press down firmly.
Some headset owners note that during the shaking the headphones can snap out of the charging jacks, so it is desirable to leave the box in a static position.
The box at first glance looks flimsy - the box is closed by a translucent rough cover. But it can withstand a lot of opening/closing. And even in the pocket, according to users, does not open on its own.
At the back of the box, just under the closing bracket, there is a micro-USB input. The LED charging indicator is also lit here. It is quite convenient, given the fact that the charging indication is duplicated on the headphones themselves and is perfectly visible through the lid of the box.
The headphones are plastic with replaceable silicone ear cushions. The upper part is with soft silicone coating with branded Qcy logo. This part performs the function of the keys, and the control does not require a strong pressure. The lower part is made of plastic with soft-touch coating, the charging contacts are also visible here.
The battery
It takes up to 2 hours to recharge the batteries. When the headphones are fully discharged, the indicator light is red, when partially charged it is white. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator turns off both on the box and on the headphones.
The manufacturer claims the duration of the headphones up to 12 hours. In fact, users note that after charging the headset works for 4 hours at most. Moreover, the right earpiece can be discharged before the left one. The box in which the headphones are sent to recharge, connect to the USB cord is not required. In this way you can recharge the headset twice. So you get a cumulative period of up to 12 hours.
Due to the fact that the right earpiece goes into mono mode more often with an incoming/outgoing call, there is an earlier discharge of this part of the headset. It's good that both the right and the left earphones can work independently. By the way, and you can charge them separately.
Ergonomics
Since the headphones are made in the form of "earplugs", they need to get used to. Some users note some discomfort caused by deep-set ear cushions. Some are worried about aesthetics - not everyone will appreciate the "bananas" sticking out of the ears. The good thing is that there are three sizes of silicone ear pads in the set, you can try on different ones.
People who use vacuum headphones all the time appreciate the ergonomics of these earplugs. In the ears they fit well, fall out on their own rarely, only with active movements.

Music playback
It would seem that the earplugs are one of the most successful models for playing music. They don't let in outside noise and they reproduce the nuances of the music track well. But QCY Q29 can't boast of particularly high sound quality.
Here's what the owners of the headset say:
- "There's not enough volume, not enough bass. The sound is there, but it's kind of flat.
- "This is a common problem with budget wireless headphones - they just transmit sound without improving it in any way. And because of the extraneous noise the quality drops a lot."
- "You can hear the bass, but it lacks detail. For an evening jog in the park it's fine. But in the subway you can't hear music at all, the sound merges into a monotonous booming sound.
- "Not for music lovers. You won't hear any sound tones and vividness in these headphones. But it is very convenient to listen to the radio.
Another, not the most pleasant, surprise awaits new owners of the headset QCY Q29. On the headphones themselves can not adjust the volume. Therefore, if your playlist contains songs with different volume levels, you will have to take out your phone to adjust the sound.
Calls and controls
When using the headphones as a headset, interlocutors sometimes complain about interference, extraneous noise. Although the QCY Q29 provides noise cancellation, the sound of the interlocutor's voice is lost in wind gusts, in the subway. The microphone is located on each of the headphones, so they can be used separately for calls. But you must remember that the microphone is at ear level, so if you want to be heard, you must be loud and clear to pronounce the words.
Operation is very simple: first you take out of the box the right earphone and wait until it is paired with the transmitting device and then take out the left earphone which is paired with the right one.
Since the function keys are located on the headphones and there is only one of each, there is a division of functions by the number of presses:
- one - turn on the headphone;
- Pressing for 2 seconds launches the mobile assistant (Siri) on the iPhone4;
- Pressing it for 3 seconds turns off the headphone;
- simultaneous pressing of the two headphones for up to 5 seconds - rebooting the device and synchronization.
When switching functions, the LEDs on the headphones change color and blink rate. To be sure that everything is turned on correctly, it is enough to study the instructions. True, the full instruction is in English, which makes it difficult to understand the information for most users.
By pressing the headphone, you can stop the music and take a call. It is also possible to play tracks and make an outgoing call. Due to the fact that the keys on the headset are easy to press, sometimes it is not possible to activate the desired function, and in order not to hurt your ear, you have to remove the earpiece.
Conclusion
The budget QCY Q29 can certainly brighten up your daily jogging or walking. But they can not fully replace wired headphones, the sound quality still fails.
Headset ear cushions sometimes fall out of your ears, you have to make sure that they are correctly positioned in the box on the charge and in your ears - for quality pairing.
