Let me start by saying, the QCY Crossky C30 earbuds have become my daily go-to. After testing over 50 different earbuds, these stand out for their perfect balance of comfort and sound quality.

The open-ear design is a game-changer. Unlike traditional earbuds that seal your ear canal, these sit comfortably around your ears. I've worn them for hours during workouts and work calls without any discomfort - something I can't say about many other models.

Sound quality is impressive for open-ear buds. The 10.8mm drivers deliver clear vocals and decent bass (though don't expect deep thumping bass like closed earbuds). They get surprisingly loud when you need to drown out background noise.

The Bluetooth 5.4 connection has been rock solid in my experience. I love the dual connection feature - being able to watch videos on my tablet while staying connected to my phone for calls is incredibly convenient.

Battery life is solid at 5.5 hours per charge (25 with the case). The IPX4 rating means I don't worry about sweat during workouts or getting caught in light rain.

The companion app adds nice customization options for EQ and controls. While they're not perfect (the mic quality dips when battery gets low), at under $40, these offer unbeatable value for open-ear wireless buds.
