I dont totally agree with the view of “cheaper tws = more inferior / lower QC standards”
This type of issue also happens to premium and expensive earbuds n headphones. Since they are more expensive, the companies usually provide better after-sales service and more comprehensive warranties
one such example is the Sony WF-1000XM4 which is notoriously infamous for the battery issue but people still buy wf-1000xm4 because of brand and the brand’s past association with excellent QC standards.
for qcy… it is the only brand which gave me multiple earbuds failure. I bought several qcy earbuds to test and review T2C, T3, T17, T1C energy edition but all of them have battery issues ie fail to charge, which was the reason why I was very reluctant to get the QCY HT05 to test as I fear that it will fail again
But luckily it didn’t and it is still going strong ^.^
So Imo i feel the issue with getting china wireless earbud brands such QCY, Xiaomi, Baseus, Ugreen, soundpeats in Singapore is actually proper after-sales support.
Xiaomi imo provide ok levels of after sales support since they are in Singapore for many many years now but I can’t say its the same for the other china brands like QCY ugreen Baseus Soundpeats
Therefore, if you’re not concerned about after-sales support, then it is ok to go for China brands earbuds which provide good affordable alternatives to sony bose apple Sennheiser
