QCY H3 Pro Wireless Headphone

QCY H3 Pro Wireless Headphone

An over-ear pair with active noise cancellation, at a price where cancellation is usually the first feature to be cut. Compare it against the rest of our headphones.

Cancellation and transparency

Microphones on the outside of each cup sample ambient noise and the headphone plays back its inverse, which cancels it before it reaches your ear. This works well on steady low-frequency sound — bus engines, aircraft cabins, the hum of an air conditioner — and much less well on speech, which is true of every ANC headphone regardless of what it costs. Transparency mode reverses the arrangement, feeding outside sound in so you can hold a conversation or hear an announcement without taking the headphones off.

The figures we are not printing

QCY publishes a cancellation depth in decibels and a battery figure for the H3 Pro, and we have not been able to verify either against a unit in hand. Rather than repeat numbers we cannot stand behind, we have left them out of the specification above. Everything listed there is confirmed. If you want the manufacturer's own claims they are on QCY's product page, and they should be read as exactly that — manufacturer claims, measured under conditions nobody uses headphones in.

Wired mode

A 3.5mm socket means the H3 Pro keeps working with a flat battery, and it removes Bluetooth latency entirely, which is worth knowing if you edit video or play anything rhythm-based. Cancellation needs power, so on a dead battery you get only the passive isolation the earcups provide, which is still meaningful on an over-ear design.
