QCY H3 Pro Review: ANC and LDAC on a Budget
Global audio brand QCY recently launched in India with a range of TWS earbuds, over-ear headphones, and Bluetooth speakers. The QCY H3 Pro Over-Ear Headphones stand out with features like 50dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), LDAC support, and an impressive 55-hour battery life. After using them for several weeks, here is a detailed review to see if they deliver good value for money.
Design and Build Quality
The QCY H3 Pro sports a minimalistic and clean design that looks more premium than its budget price suggests. While primarily made of plastic, the headphones feel sturdy and well-crafted, avoiding any sense of cheapness or fragility. Weighing around 231 grams, they are light enough to provide comfort during prolonged use.
Comfort and Fit
The earcups offer deep, soft cushioning, and the adjustable headband ensures a secure yet gentle fit. These design choices make the headphones comfortable to wear for extended listening sessions. Their foldable design enhances portability, although some packages might not include a dedicated carrying case.
Controls and Features
- Power button on the right side requires a 2-second press to turn the headset on or off
- White LED indicator displays power status
- Button also functions as play/pause control
- Volume rockers are located next to the power button
- Additional ports include a 3.5mm AUX audio jack and a USB Type-C charging port

Thanks to the over-ear design, the headphones do not press uncomfortably against the ears even after hours of use.
“The headphones are lightweight, contributing significantly to all-day comfort.”
