QCY earphones are actually quite decent

‌My Buds2, which I used for 5 years without much thought, finally died, so I need to buy new ones.
I thought the Buds would be the best choice for my Galaxy phone,
and I was wondering if I should spend 300,000 won on the Buds4 Pro to see if they'd last as long as my previous ones.
But to try out the cost-effective QCY, I placed an urgent order for the T13 ANC2 on Coupang for around 28,000 won.
Having used them, they are decent earphones for someone with my "unrefined" hearing.
I'm a true casual listener who doesn't bother with EQ settings and just listens to the defaults.
They are fine for listening to music or watching YouTube while moving around or indoors.
As long as the pairing works well, there are no issues.
However, the noise canceling, which people praised saying "ANC at this price??", isn't very noticeable,
and the build quality feels a bit cheap.
The fit also feels better with the Buds2...
But considering it's only 28,000 won, I think this is sufficient.
Even if I buy the Buds4 or other earphones/headphones later, it'll be good to use as a backup.
But is it really true that this is the increased price and they used to be available in the 10,000 won range?
