Really like your TWS review vids, keep it up! Also, which TWS would you recommend for the price range of under 40$? Mainly for music/gaming, so I would like good sound quality and also ANC.

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! In the sub $40 category the only real additional option I've tried is Soundpeats Air4 Pro, which are really decent. Soundcore P3i are also a possible option, but I don't like the sound as much as the QCY option in this video

[@aymanguro4282]

Damn I keep seeing your videos and tbh I am loving your reviews. From the list of earphones you've reviewed, which of them sound the loudest? I wanna use them for outdoor use and commuting so if there's any that can block off cars I would love that.

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! 🙌 Maybe I'll test them and see if I can give you an objective answer. Bluetooth has a limitation of 110dB, but your phone can also have an added limiter built in, so for example I had a Xiaomi 11T Pro and a OnePlus 8T a few years ago, and everything was a little louder on the OnePlus 😕 The quieter TWS I've tested have been Moondrop, Baseus and some of the Creative and Soundcore products, but leave it with me and I'll do some tests.....what budget are you looking at?

[@aymanguro4282]

@@ReganCipher Oh man that would be a godsend! My budget is under $30 actually, noticed that most TWS are quieter now so I won't spend too much until I find a brand I like.

[@user-gq7do1wm9g]

Love your reviews man! Keep em coming! Just one question - I know you've spent some time with the 1more Pistonbuds Pro Q30 - how do they stack up compared with the HT05 for ANC and sound quality?

[@ReganCipher]

Thanks mate! ANC on the Q30 is quite a bit stronger. The sound is a bit bassier with slightly better treble extension. Otherwise the tuning is quite similar. Q30 is definitely an upgrade but only thing to consider is the fit - the Q30 have bigger oval nozzles like the Airpod Pro whereas the HT05 has smaller nozzles and as such they fit more securely than the Q30, on me at least

After this little burst of reviews I'll be back to one every couple of weeks - I know some KZbinrs do this full time but that's never going to be for me, I think you maybe lose a little impartiality if you start looking at the monetary element of reviews which would defeat the object of doing it for me at least.

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! How about the HT05? regancipher.squig.link/?share=Oppo_Enco_Air3,QCY_HT05_Melobuds - the upper mids are slightly more forwards but you've got loads of customisation in their app

[@stabil1978]

I got the moondrop space travel for my daughter. Very impressed for the price. I found the calls to sound better than in this video. The looks are unique which I like, they stand out. They are not as big in real life as they might seem in videos. Very comfortable to wear. Sound is pretty balanced with just enough punchy bass. ANC is better than expected. I have Soundcore liberty 4 and I don't feel it's too big of a difference.

[@ReganCipher]

Which model? It's a good point - I try and test calls in scenarios which will test the earbuds as much as possible, because some subscribers in other countries or cities will have more testing environments than many of us. Usually, people will be pleasantly surprised, which is always good 🙌

Hello, excellent comparative review. I was able to answer important questions. Thanks! I discovered your channel through reddit. Have you already tested the Realme buds air 5 pro? or any other similar from Realme? Does the sound surpass the Moondrop Space Travel and also the QCY HT 05? And, in any case, what is your recommendation for earbuds under 50 dollars, thinking about the best sound? Thanks!

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! Yes, the Buds Air 5 Pro feature in my upcoming 'Best under $100' video - they're excellent value and better than both the MST and HT05. I'm just waiting for the OnePlus Buds 3 to arrive so I can include them in the video, should be done in the next few weeks 👍

[@Familyguyex]

Hey Reagan, what tws would you recommend for 40-50 USD? Would mostly be used in a office setting to keep me focused.

[@ReganCipher]

Soundpeats Air4 Pro are pretty good - although the battery might be a little short for your requirements. The Soundcore Space A40 are nice - they've got pretty decent ANC, long battery life and good app support. Both have multipoint so you can stay connected to your phone and laptop at the same time - maybe that's a good thing maybe it isn't!

Hello, could you please share your custom EQ for QCY Melobuds if it’s okay. Thank you 🙏 and super informative video

Thank you! Try this: (0 -2 2 5 8 2 0 -2 -4 8) or (1 -2 1 5 8 7 4 1 0 8). Someone at Headfi posted those - the second one is preferable for me. I left the HT05 at my parents house so I don't have access to them to see what my EQ was at the moment but it was a slight deviation on the second one. I actually really like the stock sound as well - they are one of the best out of the box tunings I've ever observed in a budget set. Appreciate the kind comments again!

Great reviews, what's the better between those, Qcy 05, soundpeats capsule 3pro, or air4?

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! HT05 sounds the best, Capsule3 Pro has the stronger ANC and is more comfortable with the stock tips. Air4 sounds good with ANC off, but the ANC is weak as they're semi-in-ear (original Airpod style). Only get the Air4 if you don't like the feel of silicone tips, otherwise both HT05 and Capsule3 Pro are decent choices just depends on what's most important for you 👍

How does the sound quality of the Soundpeats Clear compare to the Truefree T3? They both have the ‘see-through’ design.

[@ReganCipher]

T3 has less bass. Vocals are more forwards on the T3 and trebles are a bit more rolled off. Clear has a slightly more metallic sound to the treble. I quite like the T3, it's not as energetic as the Clear but it's still a pleasant listen

Qcy ht05 vs soundpeats clear sir? For calls and music

[@ReganCipher]

For calls - listen for yourself and see what you think, both have real life call samples here. For music, Clear are bassier and a bit colder in the tone. HT05 are more my scene with smoother vocals and a warmer, silkier sound 👍

[@OfeliaJae]

What size of the Feaulle eartips work with the HT05?

[@ReganCipher]

Depends on the size of your ear canals - medium worked for me

[@dangodono6096]

The QCY VS The Moon Drops, which would you prefer more? Oh and also how comfortable they are

[@ReganCipher]

I think I said it in the video, the HT05 is better. It has stronger ANC, more customisation (wind noise reduction, more strength levels etc), much better battery life and is better on calls. Sound is pretty much the same as you can see on the graphs the tuning is similar. For me, the Moondrop is more comfortable but with the tips I talk about in the video the HT05 is fine

Soundpeats Clear - brighter, more emphasis on female vocals. Slightly more subbass, less midbass. MST - smoother, warmer sounding. Both sound good. MST has ANC and some button customisation, Clear has neither. Clear are better for calls

About the same - I got average 6h 40 on the HT05, 6h 42 on the Clear. Both drop a little if you make or take calls 👍

Hi nice video! I am looking for a TWS and my budget is 50 usd, in my country the Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro is sold for 60 usd, but in aliexpress the QCY T18 is sold for 30 usd, can you recommend me any tws in this range?

I included call samples for the HT05 - I don't think it's as good on calls as the T18, but with a $50 budget I think it's good enough. But like I always say, listen for yourself and decide whether it's acceptable to you

[@jackbernie7606]

Which is the best? QCY 05 OR SOUNDPEATS CAPSULE 3PRO OR THE SOUNDPEATS AIR 4?

[@ReganCipher]

For sound, I think the HT05 and Air4 are similar in terms of sound quality. HT05 is smoother in vocals and a bit warmer and fuller in the bass. Air4 Pro is cleaner and brighter. Capsule3 Pro is not quite as good - more v-shaped with less in the lower midrange and rolled off trebles. It still sounds nice though. Air4 (non Pro version) is very nice sounding for semi in ear but only with ANC on - if you switch off ANC it sounds bad, and so it shortens the battery life a lot. Capsule3 Pro has the best battery life by far, then HT05. Air4 Pro is the weakest for battery. All three are quite good on calls. Build quality is probably best on Air4 Pro, then Capsule3 Pro, then HT05. ANC is strongest on Air4 Pro. Capsule3 Pro and HT05 are around the same. HT05 has the most customisation (controls, EQ, channel balance, etc). In UK, HT05 is much cheaper than the Soundpeats products. HT05 is half the price of Air4 Pro, but Air4 Pro definitely isn't twice as good

The staging is quite moderate on all of them. They're all tuned with a dip around 6kHz, which prevents that artificial perceived widening of the sound field. MST probably feels the most open sounding of them

Hey, Regan! What buds would you choose if you needed six things: 1) Great sound quality, as close to Harman as possible (I don't mind some EQ); 2) Suppression of wind noise in transparency mode (when cycling, for example) - the wind may not be suppressed completely, but just reduced to comfortable level; 3) Transparency mode sounding as natural as possible; 4) Very preferably, controlled transparency with multiple features and modes of work; 5) Very preferably, water resistance; 6) Price as low as possible? AFAIK, Apple's Airpods win in every category except for 6. To the best of my knowledge, the buds that fit this description the best are: 1More PistonBuds Q30 QCY HT05 QCY HT07 If so, which of them is better? If there are any other buds that fit this description, what's their name? I'm looking for a better alternative to my dying Porta Pro. Thank you!

[@ReganCipher]

Sorry for the late reply my friend, just back from holidays! ☀️ So, you picked some pretty decent options there. All three of those are warm-neutral sounding and don't deviate too far from Harman, but the HT05 and Q30 have the edge in terms of the driver quality. Not much to choose between the two of them from a sound perspective. The transparency and wind noise reduction modes, IIRC, are slightly better on the Q30, but the nozzles are a bit bigger on the Q30, meaning you might not get the desired stability when you're out on the bike. My preference would be to have one set for running/cycling and one for everyday use, budget permitting. You could probably get by with the HT05, but a cheap set of open ears, something like the Truefree O1 or EPZ S30, would give you situational awareness and also prolong the life of your everyday set. Something to consider! Thanks again for watching and for reaching out! 🙌
