Did QCY silently downgrade the QCY H3?
I recently bought a new pair of QCY H3 headphones because I’ve been using my original pair for years and genuinely loved how they sounded.
But the new pair sounds noticeably worse than my old one even though it’s supposedly the exact same model. The tuning feels cheaper, less detailed, and the overall sound quality is worse to my ears.
Another thing I immediately noticed is that my old H3 only used simple tones/beeps when powering on or connecting, while the new one has those low quality voice prompts saying things like “Pairing” and “Connected.” That usually reminds me of cheaper Bluetooth headphones.
I bought them from the official QCY store on Mercado Libre, so I don’t think they’re fake.
Has anyone else noticed newer QCY H3 units sounding worse than older ones? Did QCY silently change the drivers, firmware, or internals while keeping the same model name?
I’m using an iPhone, in case that matters.
