Third-party reviews

What customers like about QCY H2 Pro

  • Exceptional battery life (up to 60-70 hours of playback)
  • Great value for the price point
  • Multipoint connection allows pairing with two devices simultaneously
  • Stable Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with low latency mode for gaming
  • Lightweight and comfortable design for long listening sessions
  • Dedicated 'Bass Mode' button for enhanced low-end punch
  • Decent passive noise isolation from the over-ear design

What customers don't like about QCY H2 Pro

  • Build quality feels somewhat cheap due to predominantly plastic materials
  • Lack of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on the standard Pro model
  • Treble can sound 'shouty' or lack detail on complex tracks
  • Earcup breathability can be an issue in humid weather
  • Microphone quality is average and can sound slightly tinny on calls
  • App interface is described by some as dated or 'Windows XP-looking'
  • Sound separation is weak, making it hard to pinpoint instruments in complex music

Verdict

The QCY H2 Pro is a budget-friendly over-ear wireless headset featuring upgraded 40mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers and a dedicated physical button for 'Bass Mode' to enhance low-end punch. It utilizes Bluetooth 5.3 for stable connectivity, supporting multipoint pairing for two devices simultaneously and a low-latency gaming mode of 0.078 seconds. The headphones boast an impressive battery life of up to 70 hours, with a quick 1.5 to 2-hour recharge time via USB-C and an optional 3.5mm jack for wired use. Key pros include its exceptional playtime, lightweight collapsible design (220g), and ENC noise reduction for clear calls. However, notable cons include a primarily plastic build that may feel inexpensive, a lack of high-end audio codecs beyond AAC/SBC, and earcup breathability issues that can cause discomfort in warm or humid conditions.
