Match Pulse: QCY Crossky C50

Premium clip-on earbuds at a reasonable price

Published

August 28, 2025

There’s a certain freedom that comes with not having to fuss over your earbuds.

The QCY Crossky C50 was built for people who move fast, whether that means sprinting through morning commutes, breezing through workouts, or slipping between errands.

With its open-ear clip-on design, this budget-friendly pair promises all-day comfort and practicality without sacrificing sound.

First Look

Style-wise, QCY pretty much nailed it with this clip-on iteration. The C50 launched in a clean, minimalist off-white finish with some leather-style textured panels — looking more expensive than its price tag.

Comfort-wise, the C50 features skin-friendly silicone combined with a memory titanium wire for a secure but pressure-free fit. Pop them on, and if you’re not listening to anything, you might even forget they’re there.

Seamless touch controls and dual-device connectivity powered by the latest Bluetooth 6.0 technology round out the package.

Although if you are new to clip-ons, coming from the traditional earbuds, finding the right tapping angle might take a little getting used to.

Thankfully, the QCY app lets you customize or even disable one-tap and double-tap gestures if you find yourself triggering them accidentally.

First Date

For an open-ear clip-on, the Crossky C50 puts up a competitive sound profile.

The bass has a solid punch without getting muddy, and doesn’t bleed into the vocals. The mids sound natural, with instruments sitting comfortably in the mix without drowning out the song.

And more importantly, the highs are clear and never goes into the harshness zone. Since this is an open-ear style, you’ll often need to push the volume higher depending on your environment.

The QCY app doesn’t offer a fully customizable EQ but does include preset “effects” like Pop, Bass Boost, Rock, and more; most of which don’t improve sound quality, except for Spatial Sound.

When enabled, Spatial Sound gives the illusion of a wider soundstage. Overall, it works pretty well but the vocals can take on a slightly echoey quality. Although not distracting enough to ruin the experience, it is definitely noticeable.

A single charge lasts a full workday. Give it just 10 minutes of juice, and you’re good to go for that two-hour commute home.

With up to 7.5 hours of listening per charge and 35 hours with the case, the C50 easily keeps pace with long days. The IPX5 water resistance also means it’s safe against sweat and light rain, making it a solid companion for both workouts and commutes.

First Impressions

With numerous open-ear and clip-on style earbuds available on the market, what sets the Crossky C50 apart is its magnetic contact self-adaptive technology and symmetrical cavity design.

Which means there is no fixed left or right earbud. Drop a bud into either side of the case, and the magnets instantly detect its position, remapping it automatically without needing to close the lid.

Thanks to the symmetrical design of both the case and the earbuds, you get so much convenience when you’re in a rush — or lazy. It’s super easy to pop them in your ears or drop them back into the case without fussing over which side is which.

The Crossky C50 nails that balanced mix of comfort, control, and value. It’s a strong entry point into that all-day, stay-aware listening experience. Plus, it’s only US$ 35.

BLACK FRIDAY SALE INCOMING!

With the annual Black Friday Sale coming up, QCY is also offering latest deals — including the all new H3S headphones.

Several months ago, you might remember that OBSBOT revealed the Tiny 3 series of web cameras.

Six months after, they also unveil the all-new Meet Flip. From the name itself, it’s the company’s latest foldable 4K webcam that puts hardware privacy front and center.

Foldable and pocketable

Despite weighing just 37.7 grams, the Meet Flip aims to deliver premium webcam features for all types of users. Be it remote workers, professionals, or content creators.

Undoubtedly, the biggest highlight has got to be the webcam’s folding design. Not only it’s portable, it protects your privacy too.

Closing the device physically blocks the lens, giving users a visual confirmation that the camera is no longer active. When it’s time for a meeting, simply unfold it and it’s ready to go.

That lightweight body also features a built-in mounting clip that works with laptops, monitors, and tripods. Users can mount it in landscape, portrait, or even upside-down orientations depending on their setup.

Despite that absurd amount of lightweightness, the OBSBOT Meet Flip is still able to house a 1/2-inch Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor with Quad Bayer technology. That’s something more commonly found among bigger and higher-end web cameras.

Other camera features include:

4K video recording / 30fps
1080p recording / up to 60fps
HDR support for challenging lighting
Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF)
4x digital zoom
f/1.8 aperture with ISO 100-6400 support for low-light environments

Beyond just video calls

The OBSBOT Meet Flip isn’t just packed with serious camera hardware, it’s seriously intelligent as well.

The Meet Flip supports AI Auto Framing. This automatically keeps users centered during meetings — regardless if they are presenting alone or with a group. Gesture controls also let users activate framing or adjust zoom without touching the keyboard or mouse.

Another standout feature is AI Magic Notes which provides real-time meeting transcription and automatically generates summaries, action items, and key discussion points.

The feature works with Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams through OBSBOT Center. Every webcam includes complimentary transcription of 120 minutes.

With that being mentioned, OBSBOT Center also makes users gain access to software features such as background blur, virtual backgrounds, beauty mode, and picture-in-picture overlays for presentations.

Those who want more advanced controls can enable Smart Eye Tracking, teleprompter support, and manual image adjustments.

Audio also gets an upgrade through an intelligent dual-microphone system that offers four recording modes:

Directional Mode / solo calls
Dual-Directional Mode / interviews
Smart Omni Mode / group meetings
Pure Audio Mode / unprocessed stereo recording

AI Noise Reduction and Automatic Gain Control are also available across most modes to help improve voice clarity.

OBSBOT’s Meet Flip is also compatible with mobile devices through the OBSBOT Live app and supports integrations with accessories including Elgato Stream Deck, Nintendo Switch 2, and UVC-to-NDI/HDMI adapters.

Pricing and Availability

The OBSBOT Meet Flip is available starting today for US$119 through OBSBOT’s online store, Amazon US, and select retailers worldwide. Regional pricing may vary.

The latest collection reimagines the relationship between hardware and style, effortlessly bridging heavy-duty, military-grade protection with a modular network of magnetic add-ons and deeply personalized visuals.

This is fortified to be incredibly tough and resilient against daily impacts for uncompromised 360-degree defense.

At the same time, CASETiFY still promises a seamless open-and-close movement each time to make the phone secure, clean, and easy to carry.

The CASETiFY Samsung Galaxy Z8 series lineup includes:

Impact Magnetic Case

The signature case introduces a breakthrough, smooth-gliding hinge cover that fully encases the device’s moving parts — minus the bulk. It is fortified with EcoShock technology and protective raised bezels.

Impact HD Screen Protector

This ultra-responsive defense layer is crafted from surface-strengthened 9H tempered glass. It features advanced anti-fingerprint and antimicrobial coatings.

Impact Camera Lens Protector

This scratch-proof tempered glass shield keeps your camera safe from every angle. It is also precision-engineered to prevent flash light haze to preserve original photo quality.

16 Personalities Print Collection

In addition, CASETiFY is giving enthusiasts a way to show who they are with the brand-new 16 Personalities Print Collection.

This typography-centered collection turns a four-letter personality personality archetype into a high-design visual manifest.

The highly collectible print collection expands far beyond the Galaxy Z8 series. It will be available across a wide selection of iPhone silhouettes and compatible lifestyle options.
