QCY MeloBuds N60

Manufacturer: QCY

The QCY MeloBuds N60 are true wireless in-ear earbuds that cover the essentials without unnecessary complexity. Built around a 11 mm driver and equipped with six microphones featuring noise cancellation, they are designed to handle both casual listening and calls with reasonable clarity. The earbuds carry an IPX5 water resistance rating, making them suitable for use during workouts or light outdoor activity. A travel bag is included in the box, and voice prompts provide basic on-device feedback without requiring a companion app interaction.

On the connectivity side, the MeloBuds N60 run on Bluetooth 6 with LDAC codec support, alongside AAC, allowing for higher-quality audio transmission where supported. The maximum wireless range reaches 15 meters. Each earbud holds a 43 mAh battery rated for 9 hours of playback, while the 490 mAh charging case extends total availability to 36 hours. Fast charging is supported, and the case charges via USB Type-C. The frequency response spans 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and passive noise isolation is present, though active noise cancellation is not included in this model.

Pros

Bluetooth 6 with LDAC codec support enables higher-quality wireless audio transmission
Six-microphone array with noise cancellation makes for cleaner call performance
Combined 45 hours of battery between the earbuds and charging case reduces how often charging is needed
Fast charging support helps minimize downtime
IPX5 water resistance makes the earbuds usable during workouts or in wet conditions
A travel bag is included, adding practical portability out of the box

Cons

No active noise cancellation, so sound isolation relies entirely on the passive fit of the earbuds
Wireless charging is not supported, requiring a cable every time the case needs to be charged
No ambient sound mode, meaning external audio cannot be let in without removing the earbuds
No in/on-ear detection, so music does not pause automatically when the earbuds are removed
NFC pairing and fast pairing are both absent, making the initial connection process more manual

Who is this for?

The QCY MeloBuds N60 are a solid fit for everyday wireless listeners who prioritize extended battery life and want a reliable pair of earbuds for commuting, light exercise, or working from home. The IPX5 water resistance makes them practical for gym use or outdoor activity where sweat and light rain are a concern. Users who frequently take calls will also benefit from the six-microphone setup with noise cancellation, and those who value higher-fidelity audio streaming will appreciate the availability of LDAC codec support over Bluetooth 6.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need active noise cancellation for focused work in loud environments, such as open offices, planes, or busy public spaces, will find these earbuds lacking since isolation is purely passive. Those who prefer a completely hands-free and frictionless experience may be frustrated by the absence of in/on-ear detection and fast pairing, both of which streamline daily use. Additionally, anyone who relies on wireless charging for convenience will need to use a USB-C cable each time the case runs low, which may be a drawback for users already accustomed to cable-free charging workflows.

Final Verdict

The QCY MeloBuds N60 present a well-rounded set of specifications for users seeking a capable daily-use wireless earbud without overcomplicating the feature set. The combination of Bluetooth 6 with LDAC support and a generous 45-hour total battery capacity gives the earbuds a strong practical foundation, while the six-microphone noise-canceling array adds genuine value for call-heavy users. Where the MeloBuds N60 falls short — most notably in the absence of active noise cancellation and wireless case charging — those gaps reflect deliberate trade-offs rather than oversights, and they will matter more to some users than others. For listeners who want reliable wireless audio, solid call performance, and long-lasting battery in a water-resistant form factor, the MeloBuds N60 delivers on its core promise.
