1MORETriple Driver In-Ear Earphones Hi-Res Headphones with High Resolution, Bass Driven Sound, MEMS Mic, In-Line Remote, High Fidelity for Smartphones/PC/Tablet - Gold

To the consumer reading this review, assuming you're considering purchasing these earbuds headphones - make the purchase, you will NOT be disappointed. First, some background for context.I consider myself an audiophile. Over many years I've built a magnificent media room, replete with Aerial Acoustics speakers, Transparent Audio speaker cables, mated to Emotiva processors and amplifiers and all connected using Cable Company interconnects and drawing clean power through a Power Company AC rectifier/transformer. This information is provided not to brag, but to simply convey that I take accurate and detailed Hi-Res audio reproduction very seriously and have invested heavily to achieve what I consider nirvanna. My audio journey with portable equipment has been far more arduous. Over the years I've purchased many different makes, models, types and styles of headphones, both wired and wireless, in an attempt to partially recreate the emotion of the music that I audition at home. Until recently I had resigned myself to the giving up the dream of audiophile-grade portable audio. I even let myself slip into the defeat of abandoning wired headphones for the "freedom" of being untethered to my Hi-Res player or my mobile phone/in-line DAC combo, but found myself longing for more detail and accuracy than current Bluetooth technology can offer. I did briefly have very high hopes for Sony's LDAC Bluetooth codec, but have come to the conclusion that unless both your headphones and transmitting device are linked through at least Bluetooth 5.0, and further, listening in a relatively EMI-free environment, LDAC at the highest resolution is too frequently interupted by competing signals, making the music listening experience even more frustrating.So, back to searching for a well recommended pair of wired headphones I went, and my search began anew. I've learned over the years that I prefer to avoid cans, either over the ear or on ear, as I prefer to avoid the bulky and sometimes weighty headphones of that nature. Acknowledging that by avoiding cans it's even more difficult to find a pair of headphones that can accurately reproduce detailed music. Well, enter 1MORE and their Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones. I'll admit I was very skeptical of the consumer reviews on Amazon, as well as the professional reviews found in many different forums online, all of which overwhelmingly sing (pun intended) the praises of these headphones by 1MORE. I thought to myself, how can in-ear headphones, especially at this price point, sound so good. I'm aware of the science behind balanced armatures and acknowledge that the technology is what one should seek in a good quality set of headphones, but again, at this price point, how can 1MORE build balanced armatures into the headphones and reproduce such exceptionally accurate and detailed sound - surely the reviewers are wrong. They're not. These headphones sound incredible. A few qualifiers to my position: when I listen to them I'm using either a purpose built portable Hi-Res audio player, or employing an in-line HIDIZS DAC (32 bit/384 kHz) mated to my mobile phone. So admittedly the headphones are getting their content from outstanding sources, which certainly helps them shine. But all that aside, I'm incredibly impressed by the ability of these headphones to produce highly accurate, exceptionally detailed music. They sound open and breathless, with plenty of headroom to deliver the content they're receiving. True to a three driver design, and as promised by 1MORE, the highs are crisp and exceptionally detailed, the mids are warm and inviting, and the bass is appropriate, not overpowering, but not absent either. The soundstage is very well seperated, something that is even more apparent when listening to 3D audio (Amazon Music HD), or 360 Reality Audio (Sony). As reviewers have noted, they also have exceptional build quality, with attetion to every conceiveable detail seemingly addressed by 1MORE. The earbuds are very comfortable, with 1MORE's approach to ergonomic curves doing the trick nicely. Fit inside the ear canal is aided through the inclusion of many different sized ear tips in two different materials, including silicone and foam. I tend to go with foam, as they allow for a tighter seal within the canal. And as these earbuds do not include active noise cancelling technology, which as an audiophile I'm not a fan of anyway, use of the foam ear tips should be the go to. As other reviewers have noted, the quality and attention to detail by 1MORE translates to the packaging for the earbuds and their accessories as well. While obviously this is not a factor in their sound quality, I tend to believe that thoughtful application of packaging indicates thoughtful construction of a quality product, and here 1MORE does a great job. I particularly appreciate how all of the available ear tips are neatly arrayed in columns and rows, making trying on diferent sizes and materials a snap, as opposed to pawing through a pouch of ear tips that have been unthoughtfully shoved into the boxes of lesser headphones.This is a long review to be sure, but reflective of how impressed I am with these earbuds. While my purchase is recent, therefore I can't write to their ability to hold up over a long period of time, I can say that these earbuds sound incredible and deliver on the lofty promises made by 1MORE and the professional reviewers. To say that I'm impressed is an understatement, and if you give them a try, I think you will be too.

Short review:Truly impressive headphones and an amazing bang for the buck!Long review:Here is my take on reviewing this product. This is probably my first review of a product on Amazon ever, but I liked these headphones and their value proposition so much, that I just had to write something and share my thoughts about them.I purchased them about two months ago and have been using them regularly ever since. As many other reviewers before me mentioned, the packaging is just exquisite. Great presentation, attention to detail, and selection of materials for a $100 product (I'd say they are very well suited for a $500 one too). When I initially got them I did a listening session using my PC (through a Fiio E17 DAC/AMP running some high res music files) comparing them to my Phillips Fidelio X2 cans (a very well regarded $300 set of open headphones) as a first comparison. That was my best point of reference at time and my thoughts were that the 1MORE's compared very well to the X2's in detail, had better mids, similar heights and slightly less prominent bass (if you are familiar with the sound signature of the Fidelio's that is not a surprise. They have a slightly v shaped frequency curve and nice, tight base). The 1MORE's sounded very neutral and detailed to me. If you are a fan of darker sound (more bass heavy) these are probably not for you. But with that being said, and the fact that I do like some bass to my music, I can safely say that these have very adequate amount of tight, crisp bass response.One thing I did from the very beginning is to make custom molded earplugs for my ears (there are online tutorials on how to do that very cheaply, $10-$15) which basically turned them into custom IEM's on a budget for me. If you don't like to bother, you have a wide selection of tips you can use at your disposal included in the package. I mostly use these when I work out so having the custom ear molds keeps them in place without any issues and isolates outside noise very well. The cord is long enough for my uses but as others mentioned it is not a 3 meter one. The cable itself seems of good quality and seems to coil a lot less compared to the pair of Senheisers I used to work out with prior to getting the 1MORE's.Now the real revelation of how good these headphones really are came to me a few weeks after I got them. In April I was able to visit the AXPONA show in Chicago, where there was a very wide selection of headphone manufacturers present. I took my 1MORE's with me to use as a point of reference and hit pretty much all the headphone stands I could. I will not go through all the details as this is already shaping up to be a very long review, so I will only mention how I think they compared to the Shure models they had on display there. I tried my headphones back to back,with same source, same amplification (same everything overall) against the SE425 ($300, dual driver), the SE535 ($500, triple driver), and the SE846 ($1000, quad driver).( I did sample their top of the line $3000 IEM's and they sounded amazing. These however were headphones that are in a completely different league, and were driven by a custom amp specifically made for them).To my ears ( disclaimer: I think I have good hearing for a beginner audiophile but am definitely not a Golden Ear, so these impressions are very personal and subjective) the 1MORE's sounded much better (in terms of detail, imaging, frequency response, and sound signature) than the SE425's, slightly better than the SE535's and pretty much on par with the SE846's. (If we assume that I was biased by the product I own, and that my hearing is not trained/developed enough to distinguish any slight difference in sound quality, I think it would be fair to say that the SE846's were a bit better. I wasn't able to pick a sound quality winner between these two models though, so they were equal to me.) Now, if you add pricing to the equation above it can be seen why I am so blown away by the 1MORE Triple Driver's.As far as drawbacks, I do find a few. The gold colored pieces are a bit tacky for my taste, but personal taste is very subjective. The biggest issue to me is that the cables are not replaceable and the rubber section, after they split towards the ears, seems less durable. I am not sure how they will fare with longer use/abuse, but so far so good. As I said, I mainly use them for working out and have had no issues with them despite the numerous pulls and tugs, and sweat they have been through.To sum it all up. I think these are great headphones that punch way above their weight-class considering the price. I am not affiliated with 1MORE in any way, but I do hope that this company stays profitable and is able to come up with products that offer similar value proposition in the future.

Plenty of people have already reviewed the headphones with a more detailed review and greater complexity than this review. I played a classical instrument for many years, so while I would not be considered a true audiophile by purist standards, I am able to hear subtle differences in sound simply because my ear became 'trained' over the years. The biggest quality that I dislike in speakers and headphones is sonic fatigue.At home, I have a set-up that I enjoy that I can listen to all day without getting that fatigue, as well as an over-the-ear headset that I can use for about 4-5 hours. I got these in-ear headphones for casual listening, like when I am on a walk or need to discretly drown out noise. For that purpose, these are the best in-ear headphones that I have found in this price point. Can you listen to these all day? No. Are they a great casual listening headphones with a fairly full sound-stage? Yes. Perhaps there is a pair of headphones that exist with a better cost-to-quality ratio, but I have not found it yet.
