Some people like to exercise with headphones and some don't. If you are someone who likes to have your music while working out but are worried about sweat and the wrangling associated with headphone wires, the answer is a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are sweatproof!
The QY12 by QCY tick all the above as they are sweatproof sports headphones featuring aptX Bluetooth 4.1, which means more stable wireless connection, more efficient battery life and better quality audio.
The QCY QY12 sweatproof sports headphones come packaged inside eco-friendly packaging and have a square-casing design with a fairly small footprint of around 2 cm by 2 cm and 16 grams in weight. The length from tip to bottom is around 2 cm. The nozzle design is right angle so they fit inside your ear canal at a 90 degree angle.
The housing of the QY12 sports headphones have built-in magnets which act as the power switch. When you pull them apart, the headphones power on and when you pull them back together the headphones power off automatically.
You get voice prompts when powering on and off, as well as during pairing mode. Pairing mode is triggered automatically when you power on the headphones by pulling the magnets apart. You can also enter pairing mode manually by pressing and holding the middle button on the in-line remote of the QY12 in-ear headphones.
The micro USB charging port is sealed by a rubber bit that you pry open when it's time to recharge the battery. Full charge takes around 90 minutes which gives you a real world battery life of around 7 hours on moderate volume.
The QY12 in-ear buds can support two connected devices the same time so you can have the QY12 paired to two devices simultaneously.
The user control buttons are all located on an in-line remote and consist of three multi-functional buttons that allow you to control the Play/Pause, answer/end calls and volume of your phone.
As far as noise reduction, you get reasonable noise isolation thanks to the in-ear design and CVC 6.0 technology, which passively blocks out unwelcome noise.
As far as sound, the QY12 sports headphones deliver nice audio for listening to music with crisp mids and highs, and decent bass. The volume on the QY12 sports headphones can go up pretty loud which is great when using the headphones in loud environments like the gym.
