QCY T13 ANC 2

Manufacturer: QCY

The QCY T13 ANC 2 are true wireless in-ear earbuds designed for everyday use, offering a cord-free listening experience with a compact charging case. They carry both active and passive noise reduction, making them suited for environments where blocking out background sound matters. One of their more practical features is fast charging support, which helps minimize downtime when the battery runs low. The earbuds also include an ambient sound mode, a find-device function, and voice prompts, rounding out a feature set that covers the basics without unnecessary complexity.

On the technical side, the QCY T13 ANC 2 use a 10 mm driver unit with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Bluetooth 5.3 handles wireless connectivity with a maximum range of 10 meters and an audio latency of 68 ms. Battery life sits at 6 hours per charge, or 5.5 hours with ANC active, while the 380 mAh charging case extends total playback to around 24 hours. Charging is handled via USB Type-C with a 1.5-hour charge time. The four-microphone setup includes noise cancellation for calls, and the earbuds carry a sweat-resistant rating suitable for light physical activity.

Pros

Cons

Wireless charging is not supported, requiring a cable each time the case needs to be charged
No advanced audio codecs such as LDAC, AAC, or any aptX variant are available, limiting audio transmission flexibility
In/on-ear detection is absent, so music does not pause automatically when the earbuds are removed
Fast pairing and NFC pairing are both unsupported, making the initial connection process more manual
Wingtips are not included, which may affect stability during more active use for some users

Who is this for?

These earbuds are a practical fit for commuters and office users who need active noise cancellation to manage everyday background noise without the bulk of over-ear headphones. The sweat-resistant build and secure in-ear fit make them usable during light workouts, while the 24-hour total battery life with the charging case covers full workdays with ease. The included travel bag, find-device feature, and fast charging support also appeal to users who are frequently on the move and value everyday convenience.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize high-fidelity audio streaming will find these earbuds limiting, as no advanced audio codecs such as LDAC, AAC, or any aptX variant are supported, restricting audio transmission quality. Those who want a hands-free, friction-free experience may also be disappointed by the absence of in/on-ear detection, which means playback does not pause automatically when the earbuds are removed. Additionally, users who prefer wireless charging for their accessories will need to rely on a cable each time the case requires a top-up.
