HONG KONG, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- QCY has introduced H3S, the latest update to its H3 over-ear headphone series, reinforcing the brand's commitment to making advanced noise-canceling audio more accessible to everyday users. Building on the strengths of the H3 line—strong noise cancellation, immersive sound, and all-day comfort—the H3S brings meaningful improvements in ANC performance, audio tuning, endurance, and ergonomics, shaped around practical listening scenarios.
Over-ear active noise-canceling headsets are becoming an integral part of modern life. From daily commutes and remote work to study sessions and moments of leisure, expectations for audio products have evolved beyond functionality alone—toward experiences that blend seamlessly into everyday living. Guided by long-standing user insight and a consistent product philosophy, QCY has responded to this shift. H3S embodies that vision: an over-ear active noise-canceling headset designed for real-world use and built to fit naturally into daily life.
From Brand Philosophy to Product Experience
Within QCY's growing lineup of over-ear noise-cancelling headsets, H3S is designed for everyday listening at its best. Rather than catering to niche enthusiasts, it focuses on what matters most—balanced performance, all-day comfort, and dependable noise cancellation, delivered with clarity and ease.
H3S is shaped by real-world use. Its active noise cancellation helps reduce distractions in daily environments—from commuting and shared offices to home workspaces—while its lightweight, comfortable design supports extended listening without fatigue. The experience isn't about total isolation, but about creating a calmer, more focused sound space that feels natural throughout the day.
This philosophy reflects QCY's long-standing approach to accessible audio. Guided by how people actually listen, the brand designs products that feel intuitive, reliable, and comfortable. H3S embodies this vision—thoughtfully engineered to fit seamlessly into everyday life.
Designing for How People Actually Listen
"For us, innovation isn't about adding complexity for its own sake," said a spokesperson for QCY. "H3S reflects our belief that good audio should feel natural, comfortable, and easy to integrate into everyday routines. We want users to put on their headphones and enjoy the experience, without having to think about the technology behind it."
Since its introduction to global markets, H3S has played a key role in expanding QCY's presence across North America, Latin America, and select regions in Asia. Engagement has centered on the product's everyday strengths—long-term comfort, refined tuning, and practical value—underscoring the brand's belief that well-considered design resonates far beyond niche audiences.
Viewed within QCY's broader over-ear ANC strategy, H3S is not a momentary release, but a foundation. As hybrid work, mobile routines, and flexible lifestyles continue to redefine listening habits, QCY remains focused on building audio solutions that adapt quietly and seamlessly. In this context, H3S stands as both a product and a statement of the brand's long-term direction in consumer audio.
A Long-Term View on Over-Ear ANC
Looking ahead, QCY will continue to invest in refining over-ear ANC experiences around real user scenarios. By focusing on relevance, comfort, and thoughtful design, the brand aims to build long-term trust with listeners worldwide. H3S marks an important step in that journey—demonstrating how brand philosophy and product experience can come together to support everyday listening on a global scale.

Building Accessible Over-Ear ANC Experiences: QCY's Vision Reflected Through H3S
Following GOOD DESIGN® recognition, early sales momentum and consumer adoption underscore DORCO's global flagship product
SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DORCO, South Korea's leading shaving brand, today announced that its flagship razor DORCO SLEEK has received a 2025 GOOD DESIGN® Awards from Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, in the Personal Category for Global Flagship Razor Development. Following this recognition, SLEEK is gaining meaningful market traction across key markets, supported by strong sales performance and positive consumer response. This momentum highlights how DORCO's design-led development approach is translating into real-world consumer adoption.
The GOOD DESIGN® Awards recognition reflects SLEEK's focus on practical problem-solving through design, balancing refined aesthetics with everyday usability. These qualities are also reinforced by consumer feedback, with verified purchasers citing smooth glide, reduced skin irritation, and consistent shaving performance in everyday use.
Developed in collaboration with Prime Studio, SLEEK was created to elevate DORCO's presence on the global stage by creating a flagship product built for the next generation. The process began with consumer persona research across Europe, Asia, and North America, which guided the overall design and CMF (Color, Material, Finish) decisions.
Building on these insights, the team defined three visual directions—"Crafted with Care," "Simple Complexity," and "Lightness of Touch"—which were translated into 2D-rendered concepts inspired by precise details from premium hand tools, exposed connector details, and the tactile qualities of different materials. Through numerous reviews with DORCO and testing against persona benchmarks, nine initial concepts were refined into three leading directions that ultimately shaped the final SLEEK razor.
SLEEK is designed to deliver a close, smooth shave while minimizing skin irritation.Built on DORCO's newest blade engineering technology, key innovations include the Super Thin Blade, Thin Edge Blade technology, and patented coating technology for durability and consistent performance. For added comfort and control, SLEEK features a SmoothShield+ lubricating strip (made with Vitamin E and aloe), a Micro Rubber Fin Guard Bar, and multi-flex head engineered for stable skin contact and precision.
"SLEEK represents the pinnacle of our blade technology," said the Head of Product Development Division at DORCO. "By combining Thin Edge Blade engineering with our patented coating, SLEEK delivers superior cutting performance and a shave that is both smooth and gentle."
SLEEK is available across DORCO's key growth markets, supported by tailored partnerships and campaigns. In the U.S., SLEEK launched in March 2025 on Amazon, supported by a brand collaboration with Evan Mock. In the UAE, following its June 2025 debut, the product expanded across both online and offline retail channels, achieving strong launch-month sales performance and a leading position in the system razor category.
Meanwhile, DORCO continues to invest in blade engineering and manufacturing capabilities, applying its technical expertise to develop grooming products focused on performance, comfort, and everyday usability.
Customer Testimonials
Verified purchase reviews highlight SLEEK's smooth shaving performance, comfort, and overall quality, reinforcing its position as a high-performance razor designed for everyday use.
"The shave is incredibly smooth and close, with no tugging or irritation. The pivoting head adjusts naturally to facial contours, making areas like the jawline and chin much easier to shave."
"The razor feels solid and well-balanced in the hand, even when wet — it feels premium and stable to hold."
"It delivers a clean shave in a single pass, and the blades attach and detach easily."
About DORCO
Founded in 1955, DORCO has been a global leader in developing and manufacturing innovative razor products worldwide. We continue to push the boundaries of shaving technology. DORCO's diverse range of razors combines cutting-edge blade innovation with ergonomic designs, delivering the smoothest, most comfortable shave on the market.
