Half of the video is the call test, just to let you know before anyone got discouraged! FAQ Q: How does Spunky Beat compare to GT1 Plus? A: Tronsmart’s sound quality is at the same ballpark as the GT1 Plus, separation, soundstage is similar. What’s different is the sound characteristics: Tronsmart has a treble-dominant, bright sound while Haylou is the more balanced one. This doesn’t necessarily say Tronsmart is bad, I just prefer the Haylou sound. I’ll make a video about this in the coming weeks. Q: What’s with that noise in the GT1 Plus call test? A: I’ve heard someone shared that it’s not normal, and I think so too. I will try to clarify with Haylou after Chinese New Year holiday, around February. Q: KZ S1 or S1D? A: I am trying to contact them on AliExpress but so far I haven’t been able to buy one from them. I’ll contact them (again) after Chinese New Year holiday is finished, start of February.

It's always a big Thank You for the effort in testing every earbuds out there especially the ones that are highly pop out thru ads..terimakasih sekali lagi Kenneth Tanaka👍😃
I just viewed your reviews on airdots, airdots s, haylou GT 1, haylou GT1 plus, Haylou GT1 Pro, and Haylou GT2 consecutively. To sum up the results of all videos, it just a trade off between better call quality (GT2, airdots, airdots s) vs. Lower latency (airdots s) vs. Better music quality (GT1 plus), CMIIW. I found all of these video provide every info I need to know bcs I do call and listening music a lot. I really appreciate your effort in reviewing all of these TWS. Huge thanks from me Kenneth! P.s. i do love your comment on how certain type of haylou (forgot which one) produce better sound for accoustic music
I bought GT1 plus a few weeks ago after watching your review. The sound is very nice especially when hearing music 👌. But 1 thing I found out is that GT1 plus is good when playing online games like PUBG mobile but maybe because I am using a phone that support Aptx. It's hard to notice the delay when playing games 😍. Thank you so much for your review. Keep up the good work !!!
Yo i just bought my haylou GT1 PRO and now im regretting it...why u gotta do me like this kenneth :( even so i hope your channel blows up! thanks for the heart breaking review.
I recently discovered your channel and I just love your videos. not only do you have a sparkling personality that you come across as a very authentic person who gives us truly honest opinions. I did not grow up with all this tech, so I'm very happy to find someone who explains all this in simple language. I'm trying to decide which budget wireless earbuds are the best for me. I'm kind of leaning on the transmart spunky beats(?) After your recent review. But then you come along with a newer version of this one. I have no idea what to select. Perhaps you can steer me in the right direction? I primarily want to use these while I'm on the treadmill or taking a walk outside. I listen to a lot of audiobooks as well as music. Sound quality is not as important to me as comfort and price. I have purchased several set of earbuds recently only to return them based purely on the fit. I have relatively small ears and many of the earbuds hurt after a little while. I would really like the earbuds that don't get out much and that I can wear for quite a while without them hurting. My budget is $50 or less. You like so many items in that price range. could you possibly help a senior citizen who wants something very simple but easy to wear? I would be eternally grateful for your help!! Thanks.
I just bought the GT1 Pro and kinda regret not seeing this vid before ordering hahaha but I was able to make a good decision thanks to your vid! Hope to see more reviews :D
I watch it till the very end. I was about to buy a GT1 Plus because it was $15.5 in Shopee. But I want to watch your review first. I actually bought a Airdots S last week after watching your reviews. I'm planning to but the GT1 Plus for my wife. So she can listen to music and watching Netflix while breastfeeding our 5 mos old baby which she do now using a JBL wired headset. Btw, she also once an Archie. I love your reviews. Keep it up bro. Yohan Seals from the Philippines. =D

This is a helpful review great job now! I understand the difference between gt1 plus and gt1 pro. Very informative video, super testing and I like on how you drill down the cons and pros of each GT1 :D
I already knew that the gt1 plus was gonna be a good buy, but I didn’t buy it yet cause I didn’t have an affiliate link from you. Wanna support the channel as much as I can. You make really high quality reviews and I see you making it big someday! Keep up the good work, ken!
Bro, you could try to connect it to another device that supports aptx, because iPhone uses aac (of course i guess you already know that, but the sound results could be different)
I don't understand why the plus version has L and R in the bluetooth settings when the new updated regular GT1 (Pro) doesn't, which is way better in my opinion.
@@jowoshi I just find it silly, the regular GT1 got updated and works flawlessly, but the GT1 Plus has L + R again like the old original GT1, really confusing.
Thanks Raven! It’s because of the qualcomm chip and how it works actually, you have two pairings which manufacturers are free to put the same name or put L & R), I found when I want to pair manually to a single earbud it’s easier to have that L/R name, anyway you’ll understand once you have a Qualcomm chip-equipped earbuds haha they work pretty well honestly, not like the old master/slave
Do you have problems in charging it?i have gt1 plus and when i charge it the back of the case turns red and goes away like 5 seconds.so how do you know if it is fully charged?and my right earbud is 70 percent while the left earbud is 58 percent,so i have to wait until both earbuds are fully charged?pls answer
@@kylelopez5699 if the red light turns off, that means the case is fully charged. it's better if you dont overcharge it. if your earbuds have differences you can calibrate them. you have to make them both 0% then start charging them together. hope this helps but im not a professional or anything but i own gt1 plus myself :)
Just got my new haylou GT2 and it works fine now, I really like the no lid design and buttons cause you mostly will find yourself pulling the earbuds out to talk to somebody or adjust it and it will not trigger controls since it's buttons, I hope it does have dual mode but independent mode is faster for Left side it does not take more than 20 seconds from your test it's a really good approvement. And I hope haylou will add the Haylou GT1 plus in Lazada PH
Got my first pair of bluetooth earbuds last week. Had the Haylou GT1 and the Soundpeats TrueCapsule in cart when I saw that the GT1 Plus listed. However I went with the Soundpeats for the case with charge indicators and the fast auto-connect feature which works really well 😁💯
Prolly 30 minutes right after finished this review, I will checking out gt1plus from the e-commerce shop Really appreciate this comprehensive review man! Terima kasih!
if you check the spec for GT1 plus you can see the term [7.2mm Wool Biological Membrane]. For me, 7.2mm or even 6mm is perfect for a dynamic driver in small unit. Because they can get closer to your ear, avoid most of distortion. Dynamic is losing to Amateur driver but it does not need multiple drivers to create strong bass. The Wool Bio membrane is quite interesting because this type of membrance allows the diagram to be thinner, depends on the layers that they want to stack (they can be thicker if the engineer wants that). This results in more agressive sounding and accurate bass.
I also don't know how Xiaomi or Haylou can find a get sound engineer like this. Because the eartip they are using, are also the best fit for this. I tried different eartips (including Sony eartip and Spinfit), none of them come close the default performance of this. The default eartips make a perfect chamber, at least to my ear, offer good seal for bass and isolation, also prevent harsh sound from resonance. check the Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro 2 if you want a slightly better sounding inear, but it is not TWS.
thx man, i think to buy GT1 Plus, and i decide to view your video before and i very appreciate, again, thx for your review and information about this stuff greeting from Indonesia ciao~
Well, it seems that I'll be getting the Gt1 plus, unfortunately my Spunky Beat's left earbud died and I think it's impossible to get a replacement without buying it again. Plus I wanna try new stuff
Hellooo kenneth! Can you make a review of the Haylou GT1 XR. It seems to be a combination of the GT1 plus’ sound quality and the battery of GT1 pro. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@@fayea1332 I guess it's similar to GT1 plus the only difference is no battery display for Gt1plus and the case mAh is 800mAh, so you are correct it's just a GT1 plus placed in a pro case 😂
GT1 XR has gaming mode and 800mah charging case of GT1 Pro (GT1 Plus has no gaming mode) and qualcomm chipset of GT1 Plus. And they claim that the case has a battery life of 36 hours (GT1 Pro’s case has a battery life of 26 hours) So yeah, it is the best of both worlds but no, it’s not EXACTLY GT1 Plus earbuds in GT1 Pro case.
quick question: do you have any ear FOAM TIPS recommendations for GT1plus ? cos I'm planning to get one but unsure cos of the case has pretty small room and so far I rarely find other silicone ear tips that fits in there. so maybe you've found foam tips yang snuggle perfectly there? btw, loving your in-depth reviews, man.. keep up the good work. 👍
I've just bought the haylou gt1 plus and i would like to share some things that i guess would be beneficial. 1. The Haylou GT1 plus has a better sound than Airdots s and i've compared it. GT1 plus has a clear vocals that really suits my tasted. 2. Streaming, calling and music playing didn't seem to have any type of delay. I tried youtube and i barely notice any delays. 3. Haylou GT1 plus is great and all but it still doesn't suit best for gaming. Even with the aptx technology, it will still have a huge delay that is not suitable for gaming. I REPEAT, GT1 PLUS ISN'T FOR GAMING. 4. The battery life is outstanding. 5. Fitting is just right for my ears but you will eventually have an accidental touch when trying to fix your buds potition. 6. Don't worry about calls cause it's all clear and my friends doesn't mind me using the haylou gt1 plus when calling. 7. Pairing is fast and easy. This are just my thoughts on the Haylou GT1 plus, for questions you can dm me on Instagram, karel_christ :)
Another great review Ken. I much prefer the smaller case though, it's more portable and thank goodness for that. And the Qualcomm QC3020 inside the GT1 Plus has a lower power consumption than the GT1, so battery should be good yeah?
@@namedkenn I do this too, but i notice the gt1+ dual mode are not as seamless as gt1pro, and u say in the video that is the nature of qc3020. So if I want seamless dual mode, the only way is Realtek chipset?
Just a point, you aren't getting the benefit of the aptx codec on the plus because iPhones don't have aptx. Still an incredible review though! So thorough, really appreciate it
I do understand that, but I think I am gaining more battery life here, as I’ve heard using AptX literally can half the battery life. So please take my reviews as one who review things from the other end of the spectrum, testing AAC instead of AptX.
I'm struggling to decide between GT1 plus or Edifier x3 😓, I hear Queen a lot, rock, Piano and classical music, ¿Wich one do you think is better for this? (a mention for mpow mbits s but I think those don't have AptX)
Thanks! Personally sound quality I recommend GT1 Plus, otherwise if you game then QCY T5, both are excellent for calls (keep in mind that I most likely have a defect product here because of the loud noise, but generally QCC3020 chip earbuds performs great), but yeah, I guess going QCY T5 would be better 🤔
Hi! Did you manage to verify the static interference noise issue in the GT1 Plus? Is it only for your unit or generic? I got confused because of that terrible issue. I want to buy earbuds mainly for WhatsApp calling and occasional music. Shall I go for GT1 Plus or QCY T5? Or can you please suggest any other model? Thanks!
Hey man, I like your videos, really awesome and informative. I'd like to ask if there's any ANC on the Haylou GT1 Plus. Do you hear other people speaking when playing music? Does it have any toggle function like with Huawei's Freebuds 3 and Bluedio TN? I basically want to use this at work, there are times when I need to speak with my co-workers vice versa, so I really need ANC functionalities. Also, does the music pause when you remove any one of the buds, music stops on the one removed but still plays on the one on your ears, or the music plays continuously on both buds regardless? Hope to know about these things. Thank you!
Hello, unfortunately these doesn’t have ANC, the passive isolation is quite good though, but just as good as any in-ear earbuds. Also there is no transparency mode, also no auto play/pause, these are rather basic earbuds afterall
May I ask to go deeper into the bass sound quality? Am a die hard bass lover and usually on EDMs, rock, etc. Also if I should go for Haylou GT1 Plus or other budget model? Tronsmart Spunky Beat perhaps, and which sub-model?
Hi, Ken! I've been viewing a lot of your videos recently but I'm no techie, haha! If I'm the kind of listener who likes a balanced sound but with some bass on it (especially with the drums, synths (?) or for EDM/K-Pop/Western pop/alternative rock songs), what Haylou should I purchase - GT1, GT1 Pro, GT2, or GT1 Plus? Thanks a lot.
Then when do we have to charge the case? How do we know that the case battery is empty? Are there indicators or sounds? *I will be very grateful if you answer Thxx🙏🙏
if you put the buds back to its case, and it's not charging (no red led on each buds), then the battery must be empty... you can charge the case untill the red led indicator (on the case) turned off (full)...
if you put the buds back to its case and it's not charging (no led indicator on each buds), then the battery must be empty. You can charge the case untill the red indicator on the case is turned off (fully charged)...
The red light on the right earbud is not turning off even if it fully charged... It continuously charges right earbud because of that battery drains faster... Suggest a solution...
The latency while gaming is the same with others with QCC3020 chip, I’ve tested it on Edifier TWS1 and Tronsmart Spunky Beat review. Also windy environment is quite hard to get, as I have limited time making these videos, but I think every TWS will be bad in those conditions. So yeah, thanks for the sub anyway!
Hi Kenneth, My gt1 plus' right ear bud is draining faster than the left...! Any solution for that issue. Left earbud will be at 57% when right is completely drained! Btw nice videos.😀 Huge help to decide my purchase. Tx
Finally you review it! I got the Haylou GT1 from your review recently! Im planing to upgrade it to GT1 Plus because i listen high quality songs in flac format, and i listen in deezer in HIFI format a lot of times. I just to wait you to review it before i decide to upgrade to GT1 Plus And i planing to buy KZ S1 but they are same battery size. Im just sticking to buy KZ ZSN Pro instead (that are wired, well more reliable because its wired) than the S1
What's a safer choice? GT1 Plus or Spunky Beat? I heard that the GT1 Plus had false info and only used micro usb. Does your unit have type C? And there are also comments where it broke after a few days.
The number of TWS headsets paired to kens phone is too damn high lol. Will be hanging on to my gt1 pro for now,I wont replace pros for a smaller case and mininal difference.
I was waiting for this vid!! thanks! What a shame the interference noise on this one!! I was looking to buy it but that discouraged me a lot. BTW, i'm looking a TWS for my gym workout, which do you think can fit better and have better outdoor volume? -tronsmart spunky beats/onyx neo -Haylou gt1 pro -QCY t1 pro -edifier tws1 Thanks!!
You might reconsider Edifier TWS1 for Better Fit and will not hurt your ears for long periods of time, Better Controls, and you'll get the Advantage of the Qualcomm Chip.
Is it worth to upgrade from GT1? Is there any difference in terms of noise cancellation (I mean both only have passive, but maybe the sound kinda help to improve it)? Thanks in advanced for answering!
Hi kenneth...do you think the plus earbuds gonna work fine with the pro 800mah charging case....because i already own the pro and feel really tempted to get the plus....just concern about the smaller 300mah plus case...
Good day! I would like to ask what charger adaptor should be used? Is 10 watts adaptor okay or too much for charging the box? OR is there an specific charging adaptor for charging the box? If so, I would like to know. Hoping for your reply. Thank you so much and God bless! :)
Hi, thanks for the video, I wanted to know which are the best headphones, which have the DUAL MODE, GT1? GT1 PRO? GT1 XR ? GT1 PLUS or redmi airdots S. Do the GT1 XR have dual mode or Master/Slave?
I don't understand why they didn't just implement the battery led indicator to the Gt1 Plus. It's a successor, it should have all the best that the previous had, and more right? Just like how flagship phones do it
all money went on qualcomm chips i suppose and if they would bump the price to 30+$ broke people would not even consider them, there are better alternatives at that price
Hello, I do really love you review, great job Kenneth! But I still confuse, would you like to give me suggestion about which one the best fit for me, haylou gt 1 plus or qcy t1 pro? I want the one that can play sound music well and clear in any situation especially in the crowd and when workout. Thank you...
Since you've had the Gt1 for about 8 months, how does the latency compare now to when you bought it for the 1st time? Did it change/got delayed more? Is the latency still the same/seamless?
They were never seamless actually, the original had around 300ms latency. Here (GT1 Plus) it’s the same as Spunky Beat, perfect in video but not in gaming. I’ll test the dual-mode/gaming mode GT1 later
im using gt1 plus and i wanna say its best tws ever ever for this price its briliance my microphones works well and clear without any noice every time im using for phone cals.
@@Wirud да реально норм Сам себе звонил с другого телефона и с девушкой тестили + в тачке постоянно разговариваю По улице идешь спокойно разговариваешь Если ты с украины могу дать номер свой наберешь послушаешь сам
Appreciate it! I think you can do workouts just fine, they fit well in the ear 👍🏻 though there’s no special earhooks or things like that to hold it really securely, but in my experience the fit itself is great already
Where i live both the haylou gt1 plus and the qcy t5 cost 25 euro. Which should i get? The type of music to which i listen to is rap(a pretty decent amount of bass and deep male voices) and some electronic music(thought mainly rap). So which should i get?
Thanks. Now I really don't know what to do! I have, or had, the GT1 Pro, until the left one fell out while bike riding, and went under a car wheel! Maybe just but the GT1 Plus and use the Pro case? Or maybe I can buy replacement buds? Does anyone know?
@@namedkenn I have been trying to buy the GT1 plus. It seems trying to get anything out of China at present is very hard! The order I put in has been on hold for some time. I just got an email from the supplier saying they cannot fulfil the order! Shoot! The GT1 Plus seems like a very good replacement that allows me to use the same case! (and have a spare!)
Half of the video is the call test, just to let you know before anyone got discouraged!

@@namedkenn Waaah will be looking forward to watching your review 😍😍💯
Prolly 30 minutes right after finished this review, I will checking out gt1plus from the e-commerce shop
Really appreciate this comprehensive review man! Terima kasih!
Thanks for the great and detailed reviews.
Your videos are great! You are also an awesome dude!
if you check the spec for GT1 plus you can see the term [7.2mm Wool Biological Membrane]. For me, 7.2mm or even 6mm is perfect for a dynamic driver in small unit. Because they can get closer to your ear, avoid most of distortion. Dynamic is losing to Amateur driver but it does not need multiple drivers to create strong bass.
The Wool Bio membrane is quite interesting because this type of membrance allows the diagram to be thinner, depends on the layers that they want to stack (they can be thicker if the engineer wants that). This results in more agressive sounding and accurate bass.
I also don't know how Xiaomi or Haylou can find a get sound engineer like this. Because the eartip they are using, are also the best fit for this. I tried different eartips (including Sony eartip and Spinfit), none of them come close the default performance of this. The default eartips make a perfect chamber, at least to my ear, offer good seal for bass and isolation, also prevent harsh sound from resonance.
check the Xiaomi Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro 2 if you want a slightly better sounding inear, but it is not TWS.
Wow okay I’ve learnt quite a lot from your post, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the nice vids Kenneth. I’ve finally come to a decision after watching your vids 👍
I bought my Haylou GT1 because of your review. I can’t wait to upgrade to the 1+!
Thanks mate!
You’re welcome!
I just found your channel and I already love it! Glad to find your channel!!
Hahaha welcome!!
Watching/Listening using my new Haylou GT1. Still, no regrets
Glad to hear that!
thx man, i think to buy GT1 Plus, and i decide to view your video before
and i very appreciate,
again, thx for your review and information about this stuff
greeting from Indonesia
ciao~
Well, it seems that I'll be getting the Gt1 plus, unfortunately my Spunky Beat's left earbud died and I think it's impossible to get a replacement without buying it again. Plus I wanna try new stuff
Hellooo kenneth! Can you make a review of the Haylou GT1 XR. It seems to be a combination of the GT1 plus’ sound quality and the battery of GT1 pro. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I hope it’s not just a Plus placed in a Pro case. 🤣 Will wait for Kenneth’s review first. 🤣
@@fayea1332 I guess it's similar to GT1 plus the only difference is no battery display for Gt1plus and the case mAh is 800mAh, so you are correct it's just a GT1 plus placed in a pro case 😂
GT1 XR has gaming mode and 800mah charging case of GT1 Pro (GT1 Plus has no gaming mode) and qualcomm chipset of GT1 Plus. And they claim that the case has a battery life of 36 hours (GT1 Pro’s case has a battery life of 26 hours) So yeah, it is the best of both worlds but no, it’s not EXACTLY GT1 Plus earbuds in GT1 Pro case.
Amira i can’t wait for Kenneth’s review
quick question: do you have any ear FOAM TIPS recommendations for GT1plus ? cos I'm planning to get one but unsure cos of the case has pretty small room and so far I rarely find other silicone ear tips that fits in there. so maybe you've found foam tips yang snuggle perfectly there?
btw, loving your in-depth reviews, man.. keep up the good work. 👍
I've just bought the haylou gt1 plus and i would like to share some things that i guess would be beneficial.
1. The Haylou GT1 plus has a better sound than Airdots s and i've compared it. GT1 plus has a clear vocals that really suits my tasted.
2. Streaming, calling and music playing didn't seem to have any type of delay. I tried youtube and i barely notice any delays.
3. Haylou GT1 plus is great and all but it still doesn't suit best for gaming. Even with the aptx technology, it will still have a huge delay that is not suitable for gaming. I REPEAT, GT1 PLUS ISN'T FOR GAMING.
4. The battery life is outstanding.
5. Fitting is just right for my ears but you will eventually have an accidental touch when trying to fix your buds potition.
6. Don't worry about calls cause it's all clear and my friends doesn't mind me using the haylou gt1 plus when calling.
7. Pairing is fast and easy.
This are just my thoughts on the Haylou GT1 plus, for questions you can dm me on Instagram, karel_christ :)
How do u know the battery percentage of the case
@@grantelekwachi6330 u dont.
@@grantelekwachi6330 just charge the case once in two or three days and u'll be fine.
Thanks
So which one would u advice for gaming? I know there will be a delay in every tws. But which one is better, GT1, GT1PRO, or GT1PLUS??
Your review made me decide not to watch other reviews on RUclips. Dude, great review!!
You should do a latency comparison between GT1 Plus and Gt1 in gaming mode!
Hahaha sure I’ll do another comparison later
@@namedkenn thank you :D
Another great review Ken. I much prefer the smaller case though, it's more portable and thank goodness for that. And the Qualcomm QC3020 inside the GT1 Plus has a lower power consumption than the GT1, so battery should be good yeah?
Yes it is good that way! 👍🏻
Your videos are really great!!!!thankyouu
Glad you like them!
I bought the gt1 plus and I'm using it with my gt1 Pro case. Best combo ever
Oh yeah that would be the (almost) perfect TWS hahaha
@@namedkenn the volume on my gt1 plus is a bit lower than the original gt1
@@namedkenn I do this too, but i notice the gt1+ dual mode are not as seamless as gt1pro, and u say in the video that is the nature of qc3020. So if I want seamless dual mode, the only way is Realtek chipset?
Yes, I’m not sure if the chipset is from Realtek, but we know for sure QCC3020 is not as seamless, even if it’s close
Just a point, you aren't getting the benefit of the aptx codec on the plus because iPhones don't have aptx. Still an incredible review though! So thorough, really appreciate it
I do understand that, but I think I am gaining more battery life here, as I’ve heard using AptX literally can half the battery life. So please take my reviews as one who review things from the other end of the spectrum, testing AAC instead of AptX.
Great review, so detail. Now i really want to buy Haylou GT1 Plus
Go for it! Haha
Hi Kenneth!
Can you do a comparison between Lenovo lp5 and Haylou GT1?
Great Review can you comment on which one of the two have more bass. GT1 Pro Vs GT1 Plus which one has more bass.
Hi, I've been looking for truly wireless earbuds under $30. I don't know which one to get, so which one would you recommend?
Currently
Best value: Tronsmart Spunky Beat
Best sound: Haylou GT1 Plus
Gaming: QCY T5 or Haylou GT1 Pro
Kenneth Tanaka thanks! I think I'll get the tronsmart spunky beat.
Hi kenneth, can you talkme about the battery life of the buds. Is better than the GT2, or the same?. Thanks, great video!
The detailed info is in my twitter, but this one when using SBC/AAC is definitely better than GT2
Please make an outdoor call quality test since it is an important aspect of owning a TWS earphone
I’ll talk to Haylou first, see if I can get a replacement and then test the call quality for real. Cause I feel this one I have is a defect product
GT1 Plus vs T15 sound which is better? Great Review, btw
IDK why the store is listing the charging cable as type-c when in fact it's a micro-usb. Quite misleading.
Well well well, I think making these stuff cheap has some effect on the description too huh haha
I'm struggling to decide between GT1 plus or Edifier x3 😓, I hear Queen a lot, rock, Piano and classical music, ¿Wich one do you think is better for this? (a mention for mpow mbits s but I think those don't have AptX)
Thanks for video. Which one do you prefer for music, comfort and mic? Spunky Beat or GT1 PLUS
Good video! Please do you recommend Gt1 plus or Qcy t5?
The call quality is also important for me
Thanks! Personally sound quality I recommend GT1 Plus, otherwise if you game then QCY T5, both are excellent for calls (keep in mind that I most likely have a defect product here because of the loud noise, but generally QCC3020 chip earbuds performs great), but yeah, I guess going QCY T5 would be better 🤔
@@namedkenn Thanks for the reply Kenneth. Why do you think going with the T5 would be better?
Keneth I like your vds, thanks a lot. Could you please test theTranya B530 pro?
Thanks Kenneth, helped me make a decision.
I’m glad the video helped 😁
Hi! Did you manage to verify the static interference noise issue in the GT1 Plus? Is it only for your unit or generic? I got confused because of that terrible issue. I want to buy earbuds mainly for WhatsApp calling and occasional music. Shall I go for GT1 Plus or QCY T5? Or can you please suggest any other model? Thanks!
Thank you, I got my Gt1 plus today 😅. It is not loud but it is enough to not hear your surroundings the bass is So Good. I recommend Gt1 plus.
Na try mo na sa games?
@@deib5779 Yep goods naman siya sa Codm at pubg mga 150ms
May nababasa ako, mas maganda raw yung tunog kapag may aptx rin yung phone mo
Hey man, I like your videos, really awesome and informative. I'd like to ask if there's any ANC on the Haylou GT1 Plus. Do you hear other people speaking when playing music? Does it have any toggle function like with Huawei's Freebuds 3 and Bluedio TN? I basically want to use this at work, there are times when I need to speak with my co-workers vice versa, so I really need ANC functionalities. Also, does the music pause when you remove any one of the buds, music stops on the one removed but still plays on the one on your ears, or the music plays continuously on both buds regardless?
Hope to know about these things.
Thank you!
Hello, unfortunately these doesn’t have ANC, the passive isolation is quite good though, but just as good as any in-ear earbuds. Also there is no transparency mode, also no auto play/pause, these are rather basic earbuds afterall
@@namedkenn That's unfortunate, well, thanks a lot for the response! Kudos!
May I ask to go deeper into the bass sound quality? Am a die hard bass lover and usually on EDMs, rock, etc.
Also if I should go for Haylou GT1 Plus or other budget model? Tronsmart Spunky Beat perhaps, and which sub-model?
Hi, Ken! I've been viewing a lot of your videos recently but I'm no techie, haha! If I'm the kind of listener who likes a balanced sound but with some bass on it (especially with the drums, synths (?) or for EDM/K-Pop/Western pop/alternative rock songs), what Haylou should I purchase - GT1, GT1 Pro, GT2, or GT1 Plus? Thanks a lot.
Hmm not sure if I have got the same question somewhere else but I’ll definitely recommend the GT1 Plus all the way!
Thanks for gr8 review!
Then when do we have to charge the case? How do we know that the case battery is empty? Are there indicators or sounds?
*I will be very grateful if you answer
Thxx🙏🙏
if you put the buds back to its case, and it's not charging (no red led on each buds), then the battery must be empty... you can charge the case untill the red led indicator (on the case) turned off (full)...
if you put the buds back to its case and it's not charging (no led indicator on each buds), then the battery must be empty. You can charge the case untill the red indicator on the case is turned off (fully charged)...
The red light on the right earbud is not turning off even if it fully charged...
It continuously charges right earbud because of that battery drains faster...
Suggest a solution...
Hello Kenneth
Love your videos so much
What is the best tws currently for calls and no latency for games around 30$
Thanks in advance
I’ll recommend QCY T5
Can you include gaming experience and call experince in windy environtment with all the tws product? Tq..
New subs
The latency while gaming is the same with others with QCC3020 chip, I’ve tested it on Edifier TWS1 and Tronsmart Spunky Beat review. Also windy environment is quite hard to get, as I have limited time making these videos, but I think every TWS will be bad in those conditions. So yeah, thanks for the sub anyway!
Awesome...
Can you review the new Haylou model GT1-XR?
Haylou said they will contact me when they're ready!
hi your videos are the best
can you tell me the gt1 plus box,how many times can charge the earbuds?
tnx for your videos
Hi Kenneth,
My gt1 plus' right ear bud is draining faster than the left...! Any solution for that issue. Left earbud will be at 57% when right is completely drained!
Btw nice videos.😀 Huge help to decide my purchase. Tx
Finally you review it! I got the Haylou GT1 from your review recently! Im planing to upgrade it to GT1 Plus because i listen high quality songs in flac format, and i listen in deezer in HIFI format a lot of times. I just to wait you to review it before i decide to upgrade to GT1 Plus
And i planing to buy KZ S1 but they are same battery size. Im just sticking to buy KZ ZSN Pro instead (that are wired, well more reliable because its wired) than the S1
Whoa I would love to hear what you think about it! I used to keep a collection of FLAC files but nowadays I’m just streaming so yeah hahaha
Just got mine today! Man this one is awesome! using it on my rog phone 2. Aptx for the win!
Is it good for gaming?
Bro the subscribers are coming soon😂✊🏿
Thank you so much!
What's a safer choice? GT1 Plus or Spunky Beat? I heard that the GT1 Plus had false info and only used micro usb. Does your unit have type C? And there are also comments where it broke after a few days.
The number of TWS headsets paired to kens phone is too damn high lol. Will be hanging on to my gt1 pro for now,I wont replace pros for a smaller case and mininal difference.
Hahahaha I need to delete them 🤣 anyway that’s true, GT1 Pro is still better at everything except the slightly nicer sound quality
I was waiting for this vid!! thanks! What a shame the interference noise on this one!! I was looking to buy it but that discouraged me a lot.
BTW, i'm looking a TWS for my gym workout, which do you think can fit better and have better outdoor volume?
-tronsmart spunky beats/onyx neo
-Haylou gt1 pro
-QCY t1 pro
-edifier tws1
Thanks!!
You might reconsider Edifier TWS1 for Better Fit and will not hurt your ears for long periods of time, Better Controls, and you'll get the Advantage of the Qualcomm Chip.
try to get large rubber 'buds'?
Is it worth to upgrade from GT1? Is there any difference in terms of noise cancellation (I mean both only have passive, but maybe the sound kinda help to improve it)? Thanks in advanced for answering!
Wavefun xpods 3/3T review anytime soon? Sorry if you have to buy all the TWS earphones for us
Not yet, haven’t got the chance to get my hands on it. And yeah, budget is kind of the issue as well, thanks for the sympathy ☺️
Hi kenneth...do you think the plus earbuds gonna work fine with the pro 800mah charging case....because i already own the pro and feel really tempted to get the plus....just concern about the smaller 300mah plus case...
They will work fine!
Omg thanks for this! I found it 🤣 so i will get gt1 plus 😁
What application did you use for the call test? Is it messenger or facetime?
Ordered it today, my brother uses the Edifier tws1, so i'd like to compare the two
Good day! I would like to ask what charger adaptor should be used? Is 10 watts adaptor okay or too much for charging the box? OR is there an specific charging adaptor for charging the box? If so, I would like to know. Hoping for your reply. Thank you so much and God bless! :)
Hi, thanks for the video, I wanted to know which are the best headphones, which have the DUAL MODE, GT1? GT1 PRO? GT1 XR ? GT1 PLUS or redmi airdots S. Do the GT1 XR have dual mode or Master/Slave?
I don't understand why they didn't just implement the battery led indicator to the Gt1 Plus. It's a successor, it should have all the best that the previous had, and more right? Just like how flagship phones do it
all money went on qualcomm chips i suppose and if they would bump the price to 30+$ broke people would not even consider them, there are better alternatives at that price
Great review!
do they have volume control?
Thanks! Unfortunately no volume control
Hello, I do really love you review, great job Kenneth! But I still confuse, would you like to give me suggestion about which one the best fit for me, haylou gt 1 plus or qcy t1 pro? I want the one that can play sound music well and clear in any situation especially in the crowd and when workout. Thank you...
I think the QCY T1 Pro would be a better fit for you, since it can go louder and also stays much better in the ear
@@namedkenn thank you... 😆
Since you've had the Gt1 for about 8 months, how does the latency compare now to when you bought it for the 1st time? Did it change/got delayed more? Is the latency still the same/seamless?
They were never seamless actually, the original had around 300ms latency. Here (GT1 Plus) it’s the same as Spunky Beat, perfect in video but not in gaming. I’ll test the dual-mode/gaming mode GT1 later
between gt1 plus and tronsmart, which one create better bass sound??
im using gt1 plus and i wanna say
its best tws ever ever for this price its briliance
my microphones works well and clear without any noice
every time im using for phone cals.
Алексей Олегович I think he got defective unit. My GT1 Plus is almost arrived so thank you for your confirmation about mic quality.

I really like this review and I wanna buy this mainly for workouts. Can u workout or run with this? Will it fall?
Appreciate it! I think you can do workouts just fine, they fit well in the ear 👍🏻 though there’s no special earhooks or things like that to hold it really securely, but in my experience the fit itself is great already
Where i live both the haylou gt1 plus and the qcy t5 cost 25 euro. Which should i get? The type of music to which i listen to is rap(a pretty decent amount of bass and deep male voices) and some electronic music(thought mainly rap). So which should i get?
Is that static in the call test on the gt1 plus persistent?
Yes, at least in my sample, I’ll see if I can get a replacement unit
Thanks. Now I really don't know what to do! I have, or had, the GT1 Pro, until the left one fell out while bike riding, and went under a car wheel! Maybe just but the GT1 Plus and use the Pro case? Or maybe I can buy replacement buds? Does anyone know?
Oh shoot! But since you have the case, it would be a superb idea to get GT1 plus and use it with that case!
@@namedkenn I have been trying to buy the GT1 plus. It seems trying to get anything out of China at present is very hard! The order I put in has been on hold for some time. I just got an email from the supplier saying they cannot fulfil the order! Shoot! The GT1 Plus seems like a very good replacement that allows me to use the same case! (and have a spare!)
Yeah I think we have to wait for some time due to the current situation there
