QCY has just announced the latest addition to its audio lineup: the MeloBuds N20. These new earbuds are offering high-end features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and wireless charging at a price point that is hard to ignore.
The N20S are built around a generous 13 mm dynamic driver. In the world of earbuds, a larger driver often translates to a more effortless sound, and QCY claims these are tuned to provide a natural warmth with a balanced output across the lows, mids, and highs.
Tell Me More
The standout feature here is undoubtedly the noise cancellation. QCY has implemented an ANC system capable of reducing ambient noise by up to 55 dB. This is paired with multiple modes that can be adjusted depending on whether you are sitting in a quiet office, commuting on a noisy train, or dealing with wind interference outdoors.
For those who juggle multiple gadgets, the MeloBuds N20 support dual-device connectivity. This means you can stay connected to your laptop for a video call and seamlessly switch back to your phone for music without faffing around in Bluetooth menus. Gamers aren’t left out either, as the dedicated low-latency mode brings delay down to just 0.068 seconds, keeping your audio in sync with the action on screen.

What We Think
It is always impressive to see features like 55 dB ANC and wireless charging appear in the budget segment. QCY has a solid track record of delivering decent “bang for your buck” audio, and on paper, the MeloBuds N20 look like a fantastic option for students or commuters who want modern features without the “premium” price tag. The inclusion of a 13 mm driver should also give them a bit more “oomph” than the tiny drivers found in many other affordable buds.
Where to Buy
The QCY MeloBuds N20 are available starting this month in both Black and White finishes. They are launching with a suggested retail price of approximately $29.99. You can expect to find them through QCY’s official channels and major online retailers.
