Home Comparison Ultimately, Apple’s AirPods are among the most popular wireless earbuds throughout the world, and because of that, many copies of these have been released by less popular companies.

When we see them, we can realize that they are completely different, although both are made of plastic, both come in white color and they are pretty minimalistic. The QCY T5 has a partially in-ear design, so they have a great resemblance to the famous Apple AirPods, while the Redmi Airdots have a more comfortable full in-ear design. Likewise, all these wireless headphones are ergonomic and very light, in addition to being adaptable to any size of the ear since they have sport rubbers of three different dimensions. It is worth noting that they are not resistant to scratches and bumps, so you have to be very careful with them. Also, both pairs of earbuds have the much-needed IPX4 certification, and while this type of certification makes the devices waterproof, it is not that recommended to fully submerge them in water. Having said that, and this being one of the points that these two have different, the Redmi Airdots can be controlled through physical buttons placed on the outside, while the QCY T5 can be controlled thanks to the use of touch panels, which although they are not capable of carrying out complicated actions, do work with the most basic and important controls. Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Comfort & Wearing Experience Comparison Concerning the comfort that these headphones offer, ultimately they have many points in their favor. Since they are made of plastic, the earbuds are extremely light, in addition to having three silicone ear tips (S, M, and L) which are suitable for almost every ear size. Likewise, and due to their comfort and the certifications they have, they can be used not only as common headphones, but they can also be used when exercising since they cling very closely to the ear, which is always a big plus point. About wearing, they can be used for a long time as long as the appropriate size of ear tips is being used, although, and like any other headset made of plastic, it can be a bit annoying for some users. Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Charging Case Comparison Now, and talking about the charging case of these earbuds, the truth is that there is not much difference between them. Both cases have a magnetic closure mechanism, which can assure us that they will not open with any movement we make, thus keeping the headphones safe. All are charged through a micro-USB port, which is charged thanks to a USB Type-C cable provided by the same company. On the other hand, the charging case of the Redmi Airdots has a battery with a capacity of 300mAh, while the charging case of the QCY T5 has a battery with a capacity of 380mAh. Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Hardware & Performance Comparison When it comes to hardware, many people would think that some high-end chip made by some popular company is inside these headphones, but that’s not the case for any of these two earbuds. For its part, the Redmi Airdots work together with a chip made by Realtek, the Realtek 8763, while the QCY T5 works together with a chip made by GreenRadio, although it is not known for sure which one it is. Redmi Airdots …. Realtek 8763 QCY T5 …. GreenRadio With that being said, one of the highlights of these products is the master switch added to each earbud. This means that either of the earbuds will serve as the main earbud and will carry the functions of the main earbud (play, pause, call, forward, etc.). This is a useful approach because if you lost an earbud or one of the earbuds gets faulty, one can easily use another earbud as a mono earphone with the same functionality. Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Sound Quality Comparison Now moving to the sound quality, we must clarify something that is very important, and that is that we are talking about two pairs of very different earbuds since one is a True Wireless headphone, which usually reduces the sound quality a bit that provides for greater comfort while the other focuses more on sound quality. In this sense, the Redmi Airdots has a 7.2mm dynamic driver, which, although it does not allow you to give the best quality sound, is still able to function in a good way on a day-to-day basis. On the other hand, the QCY T5 has a 6mm dynamic driver. Although they do not give the best sound on the market, to get better listening, you can turn the volume up to its highest capacity, because they also have the ability to provide a really good bass quality. Redmi Airdots has: Better midrange than QCY T5 Better controlled bass than QCY T5 Better detailed sounds than QCY T5 QCY T5 has: Better volume than Redmi Airdots Better bass than Redmi Airdots Better soundstage than Redmi Airdots Better controlled bass than Redmi Airdots Better soundstage than Redmi Airdots Having said that, by being placed correctly on the ear, these two earbuds are capable of keeping external noises moderately opaque, and that is that although external sounds could still be heard a little, everything can be solved by setting the volume of what it is being listened to 100%, which is performing in a good way. Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Talking / Call Experience Comparison About the experience in calls, there’s no microphone difference in these four earphones. They have the same mic. Also, the call quality is just average, nothing special. They can be easily used when talking on the phone in any closed space, although the problem comes when they are used in open spaces with noise; the audio and microphone quality drop immediately, and if there is a lot of noise, it will be almost impossible to have a conversation that can be understood. Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Connectivity Comparison Due to the use of Bluetooth 5.0, the connectivity of these two headphones to other devices is of high quality, in addition to is capable of greater stability, battery optimization, and have a faster connection speed. Both pairs of earbuds have a range of 10 to 15 meters of connectivity and, on top of that, we found that they can be used separately and linked in the same way. Also, they automatically connect after removing them from the box after being paired with another device. In terms of latency, QCY T5 has a better latency (not by default) but when in gaming mode. Redmi Airdots doesn’t have a game mode. Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Function & Features Comparison Now let’s discuss the functions and features of these earbuds. In the Redmi Airdots, we have things like: iOS and Android compatibility Smart touch control Voice assistant IPX4 certification AAC support On the other hand, in the QCY T5 we have these additional features apart from the above-said features: Support for HFP/AVRCP/A2DP protocols In-ear detection Dual master switch CVC 6.0 Redmi Airdots vs QCY T5 – Battery Life Comparison In relation to the battery, and as mentioned before, the charging case of the Redmi Airdots has a battery with a capacity of 300mAh, while the charging case of the QCY T5 has a battery with a capacity of 380mAh. With that being said, the QCY T5 earbuds have individual batteries with a capacity of 43mAh, while the Redmi Airdots have batteries of 40mAh. Also, in the case of both pairs, the battery lasts about 3.5 to 4 hours. With that being said, both earbuds take about 1.5 to 2 hours to fully charge.
