QCY QY7S - the most inexpensive headphones review. It feels and modest equipment, and materials quality. Headphones are available in a nondescript cardboard box, which in cellophane bags can detect cable for charging, two pairs of ear pads of different sizes and operating instructions.
Headphones can be easily connected to a mobile device via Bluetooth. Communication is maintained at a distance of 10 meters, but only if the waves on the way there are no obstacles. It should be shut down receiver even with his hand, as the sound starts to stutter at a distance of one meter.
QY7S sound clean, but somewhat flat. The emphasis is mainly on mid and high frequencies, the bass obvious deficiency. But this model has a good volume margin: headphones can drown even the loud music in the gym.
All controls are located on the right earpiece. Therefore, when trying to improve his position sometimes there are unintended button presses.
Headphones weigh a little, but in the long run anyway begin to fall out. Therefore QY7S more suitable for users who are engaged strength training, Yoga or fitness.

In the box with the headphones QY19 we found as many as four pairs of interchangeable ear pads of different sizes and two pairs of color "horns" that protect the headphones from falling out. There is also a flat USB-cable for charging and short instruction manual.
Appearance headphones causes only positive emotions. One can see that in their production are used high-quality materials, the assembly is also not satisfactory. The control panel is located on the wire, the buttons are clearly distinguishable to the touch and easy to press.
QY19 is one of the most popular models of the company QCY. It developers have managed to achieve a good sound quality and price ratio. Headphones excellent job with all musical genres, showcasing a wide frequency range.

Awei A880BL delivered in a big beautiful box containing, besides the headphones, two pairs of interchangeable ear pads and cable for charging. The description says that the model can be used in any weather, so it has a protection against perspiration, rain droplets and water spray. However, swimming in the headphones, unfortunately, can not.
The controls are located on the right earpiece: top - pause button, bottom - the volume buttons and switch tracks. Such an arrangement can not be called successful, because the button is bad distinguishable to the touch and often turns to press the wrong key. So Awei A880BL to have some time to get used to before you gain confidence to handle them blindly.
Sound Awei A880BL not the brightest. There is a distinct lack of high frequencies, but low, even too much. Problems with the frequency range of headphones are trying to compensate for the volume: at the maximum can be simply deafening.
Headphones confidently and firmly held in place thanks to the BTE anchorages and dense and short connection cable. They can jump, tumble, dance, and perform any other vigorous movement.

Nuforce BE Sport3 possess the richest complete set, which is not surprising, given the price of the device. In the box with the headphones, we found six pairs of ear pads in different colors and sizes and the same amount of rubber "horns" for the correct attachment to the ear. In addition, the manufacturer put a nice soft case with bracket for carrying headphone cable to recharge them.
Sound Nuforce BE Sport3 well. Of course, Bluetooth protocol imposes restrictions on the quality, but in this case, the developers were able to overcome them. Medium and high range of bright, clean and full of life. Bass is not over-limit, there is exactly such an amount to enhance the beauty of the sound palette. If I had to describe the sound of these headphones one adjective, we would have chosen the word "right".
That these headphones are kept well, you need to spend a little time on the selection of suitable size ear pads. Too small - headphones fall out, if too large, then, of course, the discomfort is felt. And only when the correct gum headphones sit firmly in their seats.
The quality of materials and workmanship Nuforce BE Sport3 beyond praise. A built-in magnets attract one earphone to the other, will not allow to lose the device if it will just hang around your neck.
