An odd take on a reference-style signature, but definitely not the worst attempt out there.

Very nice tuning for a cheap TWS. Lacks technology but sounds better than some budget IEMs on the market. Bass has elevation but is weak. Timbre is ok. Insane for the price on sale (I paid 10€).

Essentially a slightly upgraded 7Hz Zero. Slightly better driver, more comforable shells, better cable, comes with a carry pouch. Good Value

Literally OG 7hz Zero with a better driver, better clarity and resolution. Clean balanced sound. Vocal/mid focused. Treble can get peaky at times. Overall solid value.

QCY T5 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C-
  • Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.

Average Technical Grade

D-
  • Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.
Bass E+
The bass register sounds hollow, with minimal texture or sustain. There's little sustain to bass guitar notes.
Mids E+
A hollow mid band strips body from instruments and voices. Instrumental harmonics fade too quickly.
Treble E+
Treble leans dark, softening cymbals and trimming extension. Brightness is replaced with a murky haze.
Details E-
Extremely poor resolution causes fine details to vanish, leaving only a vague impression of the music's structure. Everything sounds blurred and undefined.
Imaging E-
The image struggles to differentiate directions, so instruments smear together. Spatial clarity is almost nonexistent.
Gaming D
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

EPZ Q1 PRO Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

A-
  • It balances warmth and clarity well, showing only minor quirks along the way. Timbre feels believable with most instruments.

Average Technical Grade

B
  • An honest, middle-of-the-road performance preserves structure without chasing micro-detail. It's respectable for everyday listening sessions.
Gaming B
Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.
