    Hi, two questions did you test the H3 ANC after having updated the firmware? Supposedly they sound better according to their store page.
    And could you try to use the QCY app, set the EQ to custom default and then squig them? Because I suspect these are like the QCY T17 where the default setup and the custom one do not match.

    • @ReganCipher
      @ReganCipher  8 месяцев назад +3

    Hey Regan, found your channel through your Creative Zen Hybrid Pro SXFI review. I have also noticed that AutoEq has the frequency response for the headphones credited to you which was apparently recorded with KB500x + 711. Would you think about doing a video on how to create similar frequency response graphs? I know that there are some cheaper and more accessible tuning equipment in China and if people knew how to create "good enough" response graphs for their particular headphones, they could apply AutoEq on it for better sound. You are one of the reviewers who create graphs for niche headphones, thank you.

    • @ReganCipher
      @ReganCipher  21 день назад

      No problem! Yes, the developers of Autoeq contacted me a while ago and asked if they could use the measurements I host at regancipher.squig.link in their app, which I was more than happy to allow. I could do a video on how to measure etc, and may well do that at some point if there's enough interest. I picked up my 711 clone on AliExpress for a couple of hundred dollars, so it is fairly accessible depending on how invested you are in the hobby

    I have qcy ht05 and qcy ht07, I use them both very much. I'm curious about Qcy H3, what do you think of the sound quality? By the way, I have the non-plus version of Edifier W820, anc is very good, but the sound quality is terrible, there is no resolution, no bass.

    • @ReganCipher
      @ReganCipher  9 месяцев назад +4

      Do you mean sound quality or sound signature? Because the 820NB+ is lean on bass, but it has less distortion when you EQ the bass up than, for example, their 700NB which are bassier by default, but you can hear the distortion much easier when you EQ them to sound the same.
      The H3 are ok. The sound is bassier than the 820NB+. Did you listen to these samples with headphones on? As it will give you a good idea of how they sound compared to the 820. I think the H3 are good value, but the transparency mode is a bit annoying as the white noise is very strong

    The Qcy H3 Sounded very Muffy in my opinion (I liked it the least) The Haylou was a little better and The Edifier Wh700Nb sounded like a reduced version of the 820nb which is good the 820NB sounded nice with less bass than the Creative zen but I fell like the voice was a little better the Creative has an excellent bass amount and the voice was good, I think that the Creative one is the winner followed up by the 820 and 700 the Haylou but for some reason the QCY H3 sound really bad.

      @ooplycrossing2744 regarding the comfort, depends on the size of your head I guess but I prefer the 820. Besides the clamping force, everything else is pretty much the same. Regarding future proofing, I guess specifications-wise both are pretty current. Haylou will release the S30 in a couple of weeks, although it's more of a side grade than an upgrade (comes with a boom mic for gaming). Edifier are releasing new headphones all the time. With the Edifier you can replace the ear cups, that might be worth considering, but also the cups don't fold, so if you wanted to store them in a hard case to prolong their life, you can't (where's on the Haylou you can). Both have a bit of sound leakage although not a crazy amount.

      The headphones in the comparison are the more popular budget Bluetooth headphones - I just measure them and include binaural samples and frequency response measurements so if people are looking to buy them they can at least listen to this and have a clearer idea of what they're getting.
      The big v-shaped sound isn't my cup of tea either, but for whatever reason those who buy it seem to like it.
      The sound 'quality' compared with something like the M30x is not in the same ballpark really, and obviously the tuning is very different as well, but the kind of person that's buying something like these probably cares more about the whole package - ANC, multipoint, calls, etc - than the sound, more about convenience than critical listening.

      Those lidl cans are astonishingly good for those 7eu I paid for them.
      BTW you should have included a dry pass as well, as I didn't find the song name in the description.
      Frankly I'd steer clear of any headphones that aren't made by the likes of AT, Grado, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, AKG, etc, and especially avoid anything that has gaming or rgb attached to it.

      @VEC7ORlt I couldn't include the song name unfortunately - all the songs I include are productions by either me or my friends, and in most cases we didn't get clearance for the samples
