These Truly Wireless Earbuds Prove That You Can Get A Good Experience Under $20

With every new flagship smartphone there seems to come a well designed, yet terribly expensive pair of truly wireless earbuds. As the market evolves however, more and more companies have been able to simplify the product’s formula, bringing lower prices that come with unnoticeable compromises. With this in mind, here are three of the best truly wireless earbuds that you can get for just $20.

Haylou GT1

Small is the name of the game when it comes to truly wireless earbuds, but be assured that you’re far from the only one that instantly assumed that small equals flawed – but with the Haylou GT1s this couldn’t be further from the truth. 


Offering a solid range of touch controls, these earbuds offer all the conveniences of truly wireless earbuds whilst remaining discrete and fashionable in your day to day routine.

QCY T1C

Great tactile controls define this pair of earbuds. If you aren’t one to rapidly catchup with the gesture trend technology has been following, then solid and responsive buttons are a must – and the QCY T1C provides that in spades.

Following the solid build standard, the QCY T1C’s case is one of the sturdiest ones you’ll find around, alleviating the stress that may come with the fear of possibly scratching your brand new pair of truly wireless earbuds.

Alfawise Q32

With what seems like a gigantic carrying case, these earbuds come with an all-day battery life to match. Though that does come at the compromise of being harder to pocket than some other alternatives, the ability to use them for longer tasks such as a road trip or a long workout session make these earbuds more than worth the price of admission. 


If that wasn’t enough to sway you into loving the Alfawise Q32, their wide range of touch controls make leaving your phone out of range while listening to music a true possibility – bringing the truly wireless future to your own hands for the cheap.



As it may have become clear, these devices are by no means perfect all-rounders, and with each pair nailing a certain specific feature, you as the consumer will always have to have a personal set of preferences. Nevertheless, for the low price of $20, each of these earbuds provide something worth discussing, and provide an audio experience that will be exceptional for your everyday pop and hip-hop listening sessions. 


The more impressive takeaway from our research is that for a market that just two years ago was overpopulated with premium offerings, being able to find ways to enjoy a similar level of comfort for just $20 shows that great technology can indeed be accessible.

  • Button provides good feedback when it is pressed

  • Small and can be worn under a hat, turban, hijab, etc.

  • Lightweight and do a good job staying in ear

What I Don’t Like:

  • Terrible microphone quality for taking calls

What I Don’t Like

  • Terrible microphone quality for taking calls

Features

QCY T1C

What I Like:

  • AAC audio codec give slightly better sound than SBC audio codec on the Redmi AirDots

  • Between 3.5-5 hours of battery life per charge

  • QCY has the BEST playback controls for their true wireless headphones

  • Bluetooth 5.0 provides great range and latency

What I Don’t Like

  • Nothing

Redmi AirDots

What I Like:

  • 3.5-4.5 Hours of music playback

  • Bluetooth 5.0 provides great range and latency

What I Don’t Like

  • Bad playback controls, Using assistance to change tracks sucks and takes too much time

  • SBC Audio codec generally performs worse than AAC

Sound:

QCY T1C:

Lots of bass and a lot of thump. They do a great job with Hip Hop, Electronic music and some rock. Overall these do an acceptable job for their price. While these headphones don’t sound amazing, given their price and overall user experience I would say the sound it great.

Redmi AirDots:

These headphones have overwhelming bass. Much of the highs and mids are cut out and they are extremely narrow in the type of music that sounds good. When listening to rock music a lot of the definition of the music is lost. The mids are slightly better but the music has a very compressed sound.

Conclusion:

Overall for the price there is no comparison. The QCY deliver slightly better sound overall but the real standout is the user experience. The case feels durable and there is no cheap lid to break. The user experience in pairing, and battery life is very similar toe the Redmi AirDots and its the user experience of changing songs that makes the QCY better in my opinion
