The brand new release from QCY, the T18, feature some cutting-edge specifications at an astonishingly low price, including:
- Qualcomm QCC3050 chipset
- MULTIPOINT CONNECTIVITY (WOOP!)
- Bluetooth 5.2
- AptX-adaptive & Snapdragon Sound - up to 96k audio fidelity
- AptX-voice for 32k calls
- 10mm graphene drivers
- Up to 7.5 hours single use, up to 30 hours with the case
In reality, this release is probably a bit ahead of the game. With few phones supporting Snapdragon Sound, I had to wait for a OnePlus Qualcomm driver firmware update to enjoy 48k at its best, and 96k is glitchy to the point of being unusable, but bearing in mind this is a new chipset, I have no doubts the issues will be resolved, hopefully after QCY watch this!
EDIT - QCY fixed this on 28.05.22 with firmware 1.0.9.8. Stability is much improved.
Sound signature is initially quite bright out of the box, but eventually I found that with the Spinfit CP1025 you get a completely different experience. Midbass is very present and trebles sound much less prominent. Regardless, there is little change in the soundstage. It is reasonably wise, but rather shallow, with instruments lacking the granularity of something like the OnePlus Buds Pro, where you can feel the texture of different snares and tams. You aren't going to get this level of detail on the T18, but that doesn't mean to say it isn't a pleasant listen.
The T18 aren't optimised for AAC so with AAC-based apps like Audible, you may hear a little clipping on some phones (it was present on my OnePlus 8T, but not on my Xiaomi 11T Pro) - this kind of problems will go away when LE audio is fully supported by the mobile phone vendors, and already the new firmware is proving to be a useful adjunct. On the Mi 11T, which does support Snapdragon Sound, stability was also far better. It's fair to say, the Melobuds are a little way in front of the mobile phone market - you may have to wait a little while before you see the best of the T18.
The T18 Melobuds are a very decent option for multipoint on a budget, doing all the basics well at an eye-wateringly low cost, especially multipoint, which is absolutely flawless.
