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 - E1001 Gold

These look the part, beautiful packaging, with an immense amount of tips and a robust carry case. Unfortunately I almost returned them as I couldn’t get them to fit, admittedly I was 4 pints and a bottle of red to the good at the time. However sobered up I thought I’d give them one more go before submitting the return, the difference once I could see what I was doing was mind blowing. Off came the foam tips, a bit of experimenting with the silicon ones and hey presto, I had rich sounding music filling my lug holes. They slide in easily, a bit of a twist to secure them and they sat in place as steady as a rock, with no resetting required. The sound they produce for the price point is superb, highs are bright and clean, with the mids front and centre and bass where it is present is obvious but not to the point where it is detrimental to the song being played. There is no bleeding between the three and the buds present a crisp, clear sound. Obviously what you listen to through them will make all the difference, I subscribe to Tidal HiFi and the reproduction is top notch, I did also try them on Apple Music and the experience was not as good, despite Tidal not having an inbuilt eq, the sound was fantastic, Apple was plain poor with eq set as off and with equally as poor with various eq setting’s applied, no vibrancy, flat and muddy sounding with obvious compression and bleeding between the highs, mids and lows but what I might like and what you might like could well differ but these via Tidal hit the spot for me. As regards robustness, time well tell but if and when they do go, a replacement pair won’t break the bank, give them a try and you can thank me later. EDIT: After all that I ended up having to return them due to the inline control not working with my iPhone, unfortunately it’s not just with my pair as other reviews mention the same issue, if it’s something you can live without they still sound great, however at the price paid for them I’d expect them to be in full working order and I wonder could less attention was paid to the packaging and more to the quality of the product.

Quick delivery,great pair of ear phones,work with my DAC perfect,very good sound ..very impressed

I’ve had the 1MORE Triple Driver in‑ears for around seven years now, and they’ve held up brilliantly. Build quality is solid, and they’re genuinely comfortable - even for long listening or gaming sessions - once you’ve dialled in the right tips. The included selection of ear tips and the carry case are actually useful; mine still live in the case when not in use. Sound quality is excellent for the money. They deliver clear detail with good separation, which makes them great all‑rounders for music and games. I’ve swapped tips a couple of times and found foam tips give me the best seal and comfort, which in turn helps the bass feel more consistent. My only real gripe is the in‑line remote/volume rocker: it didn’t behave consistently across my devices while I used these. On some it worked perfectly; on others the buttons did nothing or behaved oddly (my old Macbook would shoot up to max volume from zero, deafening me). I suspect that’s down to differing device mappings rather than the earphones themselves, but I ended up not using the remote. I never used the mic, so can’t comment on call quality. I’ve since upgraded to pricier IEMs, but these remain in my kit as very capable backups - comfortable, durable, and still great‑sounding after all this time.

I’m basing the 5 star score purely on the sound quality of these headphones for the associated cost, ‘cos let’s face it, that’s the most important part! I had owned a pair of Shure SE420’s for many many years, but recently they finally failed on me when the cable started causing intermittent interference and breakup. These were an expensive pair of headphones when I purchased them and a replacement in the same kind of category would also be expensive, however, I had always been extremely happy with the sound quality they gave me. After reading some reviews for 1MORE headphones, I decided they would be worth a punt, and I was not disappointed by the results. When I first tried them on using the default plastic pads they really sounded pretty awful, simply because there was absolutely no lower frequency sounds getting into my ears at all. Changing the pads to some that properly fit however (the memory foam ones) and it’s a totally different story, I was very impressed. What immediately struck me was the level of bass response. I had read quite a few reviews suggesting the bass was not too powerful but quite well balanced. This wouldn’t be too much of an issue for me, as the previous pair of Shure headphones were similar in that respect, and I would often use an EQ to boost it a little. These headphones however undoubtedly offer more bass than those Shure headphones ever did, and fairly substantially more too! I have no need to use an EQ at all, and I’m very happy with the bass response of them. For my ears, the rest of the frequency range produced sounds excellent, and in the mid to upper ranges I’d say they are totally on par with my old Shure headphones. So given the overall improvement for me personally in bass response, but with matching mid to upper range, I’d rate the sound quality better than my Shure’s, and at a cheaper cost. That for me gives it the 5 stars. I think the packaging is fantastic, my only gripes with the product as a whole are pretty minor. I personally would liked to have been able to purchase a pair that were not specifically designed for use with a mobile phone so that I don’t have any compatibility issues with other audio devices by virtue of the fact that it has a microphone section on the plug (the 3rd black circle). There is also some noise from the wires itself when you move about, and I found the clip that comes with it is not that useful as it’s just a very tight metal thing that does clip to a shirt, but you’ll have a hard time securing it to other items of clothing. The carry pouch is a very nice addition, it’s just a shame the lid doesn’t actually close on it with some kind of fastener or magnet. Like I say though, very minor gripes in an otherwise excellent product. Highly recommended! I have separately purchased the Comply tips to go with these. If you happen to go to their website it will advise you to purchase the “600 Series”, yet, I could not find this product. The 500 series fit perfectly for anyone who’s interested in those.

I really want to give these 5 stars...but I can't. Let's start with the good points. I'm as much of an audiophile as I am an oenophile: I can explain what I like about audio equipment as well as I can describe what I like about a bottle of wine: I know what I like and what I don't, and that's about the sum of it. So, with that in mind I can say I absolutely love the sound of these IEMs. I have them coupled to a decent DAC (Oppo HA-2 SE) and the sound the pair make together is fantastic. If you want a more in-depth technical analysis of why they are so good I'd point you to reviews written by professionals, they will be able to explain why in much more technical terms than I ever can. I spend most of my day at work listening to music, so I wanted a decent quality sound and on this front I think they really do deliver. They sound great, they look fairly understated and the quality of the packaging and additional items you get with them is wonderful...up to a point. Which leads me onto the bad points. You are supplied with a number of different size tips in both silicone and foam. They are presented well and you have lots of size options. Unfortunately they are all terrible. Like 'not fit for purpose' terrible. The silicone tips at first glance look like any other tip, however the moulding quality is just not up to scratch. It seems like the moulding tool closing pressure was not sufficient and as such you are left with a ring of sharp flash material around the outside. Unfortunately, this happens to be exactly where the tip contacts with your ear canal. I didn't buy heavy, over the ear headphones as I want to wear these for 6-7 hours a day; currently I can only stand these for an hour or so. They are uncomfortable and irritating and it is the same for all the sizes supplied. I took them off an hour or so ago and have still got the unpleasant sensation of where they were in my ear. I have a similar problem with the expanding foam tips. They are slightly better than the silicone offerings, but they still don't feel completely comfortable. I am usually happy with silicone tips, so have never tried these expanding foam ones before. I don't think I'm going to go out of my way to try any others. They feel quite rough in the ear canal, and again are not something I would like to wear for any extended period of time. So, three stars. If they didn't sound so good and weren't presented so well I wouldn't have been so dissapointed. The tips are the cheapest and the easiest thing to produce (I have plenty of experience with injection moulding tooling), so I am surprised that they have failed so badly. I have emailed 1MORE to find out if I have just been sent tips from a bad manufacturing run. If they get back to me I may update my rating. However, they aren't going back. They may be flawed but I like them too much. Argh, it's like buying a fast car that has an uncomfortable seat...or loving someone that hurts you.

For years I'd been using fairly low-range headphones, the type in the £20-£30 mark, but with a new job I decided to splash out and buy these nice expensive 1MORE headphones. At first I was impressed, the case was very stylish whilst the headphones themselves had a very good sound and I enjoyed them for the first few months, but then problems began. The first issue occurred after around 2-3 months of ownership I noticed that the cloth outer layer around the chord was thin and fraying, it didn't take long for it to tear apart completely and leave the exposed rubber inner wire showing, with the two halves of the cloth outer layer completely separate. Annoying, I thought, but just a minor cosmetic problem really so I kept using them. Around a month after the first problem, the second one appeared. Very occasionally at first, I would notice sound dropping out of the left headphone for a fraction of a second, maybe once every minute or so, but over time this got worse and before long I was just having to deal with not having any sound in the left headphone the majority of the time, with occasional periods of sound now and again. At this point I probably should have complained but I don't like to make a fuss. Today was the last straw however, as I went to put on my headphones and found that the right headphone had split into two parts, exposing the inner wiring and mechanism of the headphone, rendering neither headphone usable. I'd have been very annoyed if this had occurred with the cheapish headphones I mentioned at the start of the review but these are meant to be high-end, top-quality ones and so for them to break so easily and in so many different ways is completely unacceptable. Judging by other reviews for this product these problems seem to be common and so I would definitely avoid buying these headphones if you can.

The first thing that struck me about the 1More Triple Drivers was the packaging. I don’t normally comment on packaging mainly because there usually isn’t much to say about it. But, as others have said, 1More have really gone to town here. It’s some of the highest quality I have come across. Great graphics, well thought out presentation, and very high quality materials. They have been unusually generous with what you get. There is one of those double jack airline plugs, a metal clip, a manual, a very impressive solid leather like case, and the biggest selection of ear tips that I have come across. There really ought to be one to suit anyone. Unusually for me – because I have different sized and shaped ears – the ones prefitted are perfect for me. The cable is of Kevlar fibre (apparently). It feels tough and is unlikely to tangle – or at least very much. I just have to look at a cable for it to end up in a complete mess, but I’m hopeful about this. On the right hand cable there is the control module. This is one of the few less successful aspects of this because, like most manufacturers, they have put it too high up the cable and too close to the ear. As it feels very smooth and because you can’t see it, it is difficult to know which button you are pressing. There is a slight amount of cable noise, but not too disruptive. They are very easy to fit in my ears, and they are very comfortable. I can hardly feel that they are there. Very unusually at this price point, they have installed three drivers (the clue is in the name). There are two balanced armatures to handle the mids and highs and a dynamic driver for the lows. I have always been conflicted about the ‘burn in’ issue. Some say that you don’t get the best out of earphones until they have been used for a certain number of hours. I prefer to think that it is more that your ears need to get used to the sound signature. Whichever, they do change over time. I have only recently bought these, so my opinion may change, but so far I am very impressed. All three drivers work well. The bass is surprisingly powerful, the mids have good presence and the highs don’t ‘crackle’ or ‘sizzle’. These easily compare and compete - successfully - with in ears that are much more expensive.

I bought these after my Sony MDR-EX650 developed a fault in the microphone and constantly cut out. I decided to spend a few more pounds and invest in a better pair of headphones. These seemed to get universally good reviews. When I received them I was impressed with the packaging and quality of items along with the 9 pairs of Ear Tips which come with as well as a nice box for keeping the headphones in when not in use. I assumed that I would not have any issues finding a comfortable ear tips, this is not the case. I cannot find any that I find comfortable, I don’t like the foam ones provided and the rubber ones are too shallow and don’t provide any noise isolation. When I’m riding my bike the wind whistles in through them, also when I’m sat in a busy place I can easily hear voices over the music. They don’t feel secure in my ears and they occasionally fall out and always feel like they are about to fall out, which has me reaching to adjust them constantly. I don’t think I have freakish or unusual ears and have never had any issues before. To correct this and make them comfortable this means I have to spend more money on ear tips. I also think that there will be an issue with the braided cable fraying at the top of the microphone jack, it is already showing signs of wear and I’ve had them less than a week. The sound quality although it is very clear most of the time, it sometimes lacks control over the bass and the sound lacks character/tinny. Also on some music it crackles and sounds fuzzy. I mostly use a DAC. For me personally I don’t think they are as good as the SONY headphones, I will stick with them because I’ve bought them. But I would not recommend them and regret this purchase. Probably the last pair of in-ear headphones I’ll buy online.
