1MORE Triple 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.

I’ve been using this product for nearly 6 years and I am on my second pair. I use them a lot, daily and also travel a lot, so they get heavy use.I’m a bit of a sound snob and for me, The sound quality is superb! Nice deep and round lows, clear mids and highs.The second pair I got had a problem while still under the 1 year warranty and it was a breeze working with their support team to get the issue fixed.The packaging is amazing, it feels like a very valuable product unboxing the item… (but I would say a bit wasteful) exceptional attention to detail.They come with an assortment of rubber and foam adapters so these will fit anyone, from adult to child.I love this product and highly recommend! Please please keep making the wired headphone!

I am not sure why I purchased 1More earphones at the same time as another pair of earbuds costing (back then) less than a sixth as much. I admit it was a mistake buying both sets at the same time because my over 65 year old male ears could not hear what warranted the price differences. I felt cheated that these much more expensive earbuds were equaled or bettered by the cheaper ones where it counts... playing music.At low to middle volume levels that allowed conversing with others (one earbud removed and music play uninterrupted), both sets did a great job of equally reproducing highs and lows. If you wanted to kill your ears by playing either set loud enough to be heard by others standing nearby, the cheap ones maintained an apparent flat frequency response while these sounded cheap and shrill.During the first week of ownership, I used both sets for five day/week power walks, lawn care and car washing. I was indecisive about which sounded better but eventually settled on using the 1Mores on my walks and library visits. I used the cheaper ones when it rained and for lawn work etch.After four months of nearly daily use, the 1Mores broke. It took about ten days to complete negotiations for their return and to receive a complete replacement set. It would have taken less time had I known the ropes.During the wait for replacements, I found a set of silicone ear pieces for the cheaper earbuds inside the 1More accessory set. Substituting these pieces made the cheaper earbuds fit super tight. Isolation increased and lowered background noises. More importantly, bass low end became deeper without actually sounding louder. I am no longer indecisive. The cheaper ones sound better.Pros:Every note and every sound buried in music is reproduced at volume settings so low that conversations of others throughout my favorite library become an annoyance.The connecting cord is perfect in length for persons with long strides and matching arm swings. I'm over six-six.Full volume control (up, down, pause play) is possible with LG Android 5/6 phones.Phone calls can be answered/terminated using a center button control and mic.Everything about the 1More product construction and packaging shouts QUALITY.Fast and friendly customer service. You can save time by including in your first contact email:1. A complete description of the problem.2. Problem test results while using TWO or more cellphones or laptops.3. JPEG/PDF attached copy of your purchase receipt.Cons:Best music reproduction requires near perfect alignment inside ears that is next to impossible to maintain unless one is sitting (or lying) still.Poor isolation from background noises.Cord integrated center button (of three buttons) is hard to manipulate for larger fingers. I also have big feet.Requires about 20% higher volume settings to have the same level of loudness as two other much cheaper brands of earbuds I own.Control buttons on connecting cord went crazy after four months of daily use.The connecting cord loves to become entangled in clothing or between car seat and center console. (Not a complaint. Please don't cut off three inches for anyone.)Cord connecting jack design was changed from straight to 90 degree angle.My original set had the jack connected directly to the end of the cord without a bend. In an attempt to keep constant bending of the cord at this point from breaking wires, I screwed a ballpoint pen spring over the molded rubber end of the connecting cable. This increased its bend radius. Under normal usage, it was next to impossible for me to bend the cord enough such that it would eventually cause internal damage. I am not sure my spring will help with this new 90 degree configuration.Final Thoughts:Sometimes a top of the line Chevy may perform better than a less than the best Cadillac. There is never a question as to which is the Cadillac. Packaging, constructions and looks make 1More Triple Drivers the Cadillac. They are not a Bentley but definitely not a Chevy either.I highly recommend these as a gift for anyone who appreciates looks as well as functionality. Next Christmas, I will probably give this set to my son (we share similar musical tastes) and buy myself the next model up: 1More Quad Drivers.
