The QCY H3S headphones pack ANC and LDAC without the exorbitant price
Less pricey yet feature-rich
If you’ve been following QCY for quite some time, you’d know that the H3 and H3 Pro wireless headphones already exist way back.
ICYMI, both were older models released last November 2023 and October 2024 respectively.
1~2 years in, the Shenzhen-based brand finally reveals that much-needed follow-up.
Meet the QCY H3S — the newest ANC headphones you can buy right now without burning a hole in your pocket.
Purity in Chaos
One of the key highlights of the QCY H3S headphone are its lower than ever -56dB ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) capabilities.
For context, H3 Pro is limited at -50dB while H3 only offers a 43dB “Hybrid ANC”.
The pair is also equipped with a 7-mic array (six of which are ANC mics) paired with a DNN Neural Network Algorithm.
The said system intelligently and impressively reduces noise and filters background chatter all at once.
Three anti-wind microphones also exist to improve call clarity by up to 80% — regardledss if it’s crowded or windy around.
There are even Multiple ANC modes such as Commute, Indoor, and Anti-Wind for better noise cancellation no matter where you are.
But, QCY didn’t stop just with ANC alone.
The H3S features a dual-driver architecture with a 40mm titanium-coated diaphragm plus a 13mm tweeter.
These drivers are responsible for bringing in powerful mids bass alongside crisper highs.
It’s even Certified for Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Wireless with LDAC support for full-on Hi-Fi on the go.
Additionally, it has an updated Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity as opposed to H3 and H3 Pro’s BT version 5.4 — further reducing latency while improving location accuracy and security at the same time.
There’s also the Dual-Device Connection feature that enables seamless switching between your devices.
Wired listening is also supported but only limited through USB-C as the H3S doesn’t have a 3.5mm audio port unlike its Pro sibling.
Comfort On, Noise Out
Weighing at a featherweight 240 grams, the QCY H3S is built for long listening sessions. It’s more comfortable thanks to its overall design.
Aside from its 13-degree angled speaker mesh, the pair also possess deeper ear cups that are also rotatable and foldable.
Cushions made out of soft protein-leather and the adjustable headband is padded as well.
The QCY H3S also leads the battery stamina of the H3-line.
While the H3 Pro provides up to 55 hours of battery no ANC, QCY decides to double that with the H3S — up to 102 hours.
With ANC turned on, that’s a battle one should take with a grain of salt:
- H3 Pro = 40 hours
- H3S = 48 hours
- H3 = 30 hours
QCY even says a quick 10-minute top-up already brings an impressive 7 hours of uninterrupted music.
Aside from the headphones’ physical controls, more on-screen controls are found in the QCY app. This means quicker access to ANC modes, Audio Presets, dedicated Music / Movie / Gaming profiles, Low-Latency Mode, Custom EQ, among others.
OTA firmware updates will also show and get initiated in the app when needed.
Lastly, the QCY H3S headphones boast an IPX5 rating — making it resistant not just to splashes and showers, but also against hard rain and water jets.

The QCY H3S’s price tag is currently discounted by 15% and has a special introductory price of US$ 42.49.
Pre-orders take place starting this October 25 (Saturday) until November 10 (Monday).
It’s available on QCY’s official website, Amazon, and even AliExpress.

Insta360 Flow 2 update improves Android support, adds new iOS features
Better Android lens support
Insta360 Flow 2 update improves Android support, adds new iOS features
Excerpt: Better Android lens support
Insta360 has released a major spring update for its Flow 2 series handheld gimbals, bringing wider Android compatibility and new features for iPhone users.
The update focuses on improving how the Flow 2 and Flow 2 Pro work across different devices. It expands support for flagship Android phones while adding new shooting tools for iOS, making hands-free, stabilized video easier to capture without extra gear.
Android finally gets full lens access
One of the biggest changes is native multi-lens support on Android. When paired with the Insta360 app, the Flow 2 series can now access ultra-wide and telephoto lenses on supported devices from Samsung, Google Pixel, vivo, OPPO, and more.
This means users can shoot at full resolution using their phone’s native cameras, whether capturing wide landscapes or zoomed-in details. The update brings Android performance closer to what iPhone users have been getting, especially in more dynamic shooting scenarios like concerts, sports, and vlogging.
The improved lens access also works with features like Widescreen Mode, helping users create smoother, more cinematic footage with better framing flexibility.
Faster 360 panoramas for quick sharing
The Flow 2 series continues to stand out with its ability to capture full 360-degree panoramas. With the new 360 Panorama 2.0, stitching is now 50% faster, producing results in about 20 seconds.
Users can capture everything in one go, then choose their preferred framing afterward. The feature also supports interactive sharing via links, letting viewers pan and explore the image on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Creative templates such as Tiny Planet are also available for quick edits, making it easier to turn panoramic shots into shareable content.
Dual View adds more angles in one take
Dual View Mode introduces multi-angle recording without the need for additional cameras. It allows simultaneous recording using the front and rear cameras, or even dual rear lenses, producing three clips in a single take.
This is useful for creators who want to capture reactions alongside the main shot or experiment with different focal lengths at once. Combined with AI tracking, the feature keeps subjects centered while adding more variety to footage.
Apple Watch control for hands-free shooting
For iPhone users, the update adds Apple Watch control, turning the watch into a remote for the gimbal.
Users can start or stop recording, adjust settings, switch modes, and even control zoom using the Digital Crown. This allows for better control during solo shoots, especially when the phone is mounted on the gimbal at a distance.
Smarter tracking and remote control tools
The update also improves several AI-powered features across the Flow 2 series.
AI Tracker now works across more Android apps, enabling subject tracking during video calls, livestreams, or hands-free recording. Multi-person tracking keeps groups in frame, while Active Zoom Tracking allows up to 15x zoom while maintaining focus on moving subjects.
There’s also a new smartphone remote control feature, which lets users operate the gimbal using a second phone. This adds flexibility for more complex shooting setups without interrupting the shot.
Availability
The update is available now through the Insta360 app and the official website. Compatibility may vary depending on the smartphone model.

Jabra launches PanaCast Room Kit for simpler hybrid meetings
The function room setup that doesn’t need an IT guy
Jabra is expanding its hybrid work ecosystem with the new PanaCast Room Kit.
It’s a video conferencing solution built for meeting rooms. But it skips the usual complexity. No tangled cables, no custom programming, and no need for IT on standby.
The kit is designed for teams of three to 15 people. Setup takes minutes: Connect the cameras, place the speakers and microphones, and link everything with a single cable.
That’s it. A standard room becomes a smart collaboration space without the usual friction.
Built for inclusive meetings
At the center of the experience is the PanaCast 55 VBS.
It uses a 180-degree multi-camera system powered by onboard AI. Jabra’s Virtual Director technology tracks speakers and reframes the view in real time.
Everyone stays visible. Even those seated at the far end of the table.
The goal is simple. Make remote participants feel like they’re in the room.
Audio keeps up with that promise. The PanaCast SpeakerMic extends coverage up to 11 meters. Every voice comes through clearly and at a consistent volume. No need to raise your voice just to be heard.
No-fuss by design
The system adds a Huddly L1 camera for a secondary angle. This gives meetings a more complete and inclusive view.
There’s also the Jabra Control IP touch controller. It handles meetings with simple, one-touch controls.
Everything works together with minimal input. No manual pan-tilt-zoom adjustments. No audio balancing. The AI handles it.
Enterprise-ready, plug-and-play simple
The PanaCast Room Kit is fully UC-certified. It works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet.
It also runs on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP), bringing enterprise-grade security and reliability.
The idea is straightforward. High-end meeting tech shouldn’t be hard to use.
From small huddle spaces to larger boardrooms, the kit scales without added complexity. It removes the usual barriers to hybrid collaboration.
Whether it’s a quick team sync or a full boardroom discussion, the PanaCast Room Kit aims to give everyone a front-row seat.

Sony announces open-back INZONE H6 Air
Deeper and tighter bass, more immersive gaming soundscape
Gamers are set to get another immersive headphones from Sony with the launch of the INZONE H6 Air.
This latest offering features an open-back acoustic structure and custom drivers for deep and tight bass, thanks to back ducts integrated into the drivers.
The open-back structure also helps with a realistic immersive sound field, making gamers feel they are in the game space.
This design minimizes internal reflections by leaving the housing unobstructed. The result is accurate sound field reproduction exactly as game creators intended.
The Sony INZONE H6 Air also features precision-tuned driver units engineered with the same technology as Sony’s renowned MDR-MV1 open-back studio monitor headsets. It is specially adapted for this particular wearable.
Back ducts integrated into the driver unit help deliver deep and controlled bass reproduction, while maintaining clear separation of mids and lows. This detail is helpful especially for titles where rich sound detail matters.
Crafted with premium aluminum, the INZONE H6 Air is also one of Sony’s lightest gaming headsets at just 199 grams. The headset uses the same spring hinge headband design seen on the INZONE H9 II.
Furthermore, the headset features an “RPG/Adventure” equalizer profile as it is developed with sound engineers from PlayStation Studios.
This specific profile is optimized for RPG and adventure titles, recreating the acoustic experience of a sound studio and delivering an immersive listening experience.
An additional cardioid boom mic focuses on voice angled towards the user’s mouth, eliminating unnecessary side noise.
Fnatic Edition devices, INZONE Buds Glass Purple
In addition to the Sony INZONE H6 Air, Sony has launched the Fnatic Editions of the INZONE Mouse-A, INZONE Mat-F, and INZONE Mat-D.
This next step in the collaboration between Sony and Fnatic makes the professional esports club even more present in fans’ daily gaming experience.
Rounding out the new releases is the INZONE Buds in Glass Purple colorway. This joins the previous black and white options, giving owners plenty of choices to suit their styles.
