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 - E1001 Gold

I’m a nerd! I collect IEM’s.Inexpensive ones at that.Constantly on the lookout for audio nirvana for under £50.In my collection I have some real gems.When Amazon offered the 1More Triple Driver earphones for £46 on a limited time deal deal. I wasted no time securing my order.After all these things usually cost around ninety quid and have more accolades and awards than Tom Hanks.Widely regarded by many audiophiles as the best wired earphones under £100 I needed to see what all the fuss was about.I’ve been bitten by the hype bug before and been well and truly stung!The Sony MDR EX650’s spring to mind.What Hi-Fi award winners 2014? I don’t think so!So I took all the praise the 1More Triple Driver’s have been given with a pinch of salt.That said, First impressions are good.Very good in fact. The packaging the Triple Driver’s arrived in was gorgeously designed. The box looks like a book or binder with a magnetic catch.Once opened I was greeted to a selection of silicone and memory foam ear tips. A cable clip, airline adapter and a sumptuous leather carry case.The artwork on the inside of the box is truly fabulous making this product look luxurious.Oh and there was the IEM’s too! I almost forgot about the most important thing in the box.The earbuds are made from sturdy metal and plastic with a functional and flowing design.In rose gold the 1More’s look expensive.Sadly the cable is fixed. No detachable monitors here which could be a problem if the cable fails or breaks.The inline remote is simple to control and we get an ‘L’ shaped 3.5mm jack.They fit snugly in the ear especially with the shallow foam tips which create a good seal and noise isolation.So with the aesthetics out of the way what about the most important factor,Sound quality?As aforementioned I collect IEM’s and I can honestly say that after twenty minutes of testing the 1More Triple Driver’s have shot to the top of the pile. After several hours I was smitten.These things sound absolutely amazing.Believe the hype!The 1More’s are Hi Res capable with a healthy frequency range hitting lofty heights of 20-40000Hz.There’s also certification from THX which is rather impressive.The mostly balanced sound quality is a treat for the ears.Audio reproduction is handled efficiently.Fine nuances in your favourite tracks will come to the forefront giving old favourites a new sense of vigour.I say mostly balanced because bass is subtly elevated giving satisfying punch. Oh my god these things sound good.I paid £46! Triple the price these would still be punching above their weight.Vocals are delivered with authority. Mids and highs are clear. The use of the triple drivers allow each frequency to shine.The 1More Triple Driver’s can’t quite match TIN HI-FI T2’s for balance but they pack more oomph.I thought the KZ ZS10 Pro’s had a fantastical bright top end. The 1More’s are crisper.Every single IEM I have in my collection can’t compete with the 1More Triple Driver’s for flexibility.The rounded and capable BLON BL03’s are left crying in the dirt.There’s a new king. All hail the Triple Driver’s from 1More.Sure it would have been a closer contest if the 1More’s was at full price but on offer at £46 they’re unbeatable.I would put them up against my £140 BOSE IEM’s and say the Triple Driver’s are better!I’m not kidding they really are that good.If you’re a collector then you need these in your collection.If you’re someone who just wants a pair of good earphones and are willing to pay then these are pound for pound the best IEM’s I have had the pleasure to stick in my lugs!A must buy...

I have had these IEM's for a fortnight now, and they've more than lived up to the hype.Firstly, the unbozing experience is very nice. A high quality box, with a nice magnetic clasp, with all the contents held safely inside.The headphones themselves are very well designed. They're nice to look at. The metal chassis is strong, and appears to be able to withstand years of standard use. The kevlar braided cable up to the splitter is smooth, and has a nice feel to it. The plastic connections to each earpiece are equally nice, and they have a nice textured exterior. The provided box is the perfect size to fit the earphones snugly, without the risk of damaging them. The box is small enough not to be intrusive in a jacket pocket, and frankly looks quite nice. I've not had these earphones tangle once so far, and I am putting them in and out of the box a good 11-12 times a day. They always unravel smoothly, so I'm really happy about that.Sound quality is as you'd expect. At first, I was a little disappointed by the sound. It felt cold and tinny. However, once I tried all the different tips, and found the one I liked the most, the sound was completely changed. There was a real warmth, and the bass was much more pronounced. Not bass heavy, but just the right amount to create a really balanced soundscape. The mids were incredibly smooth, and the trebles were bright, but not tinny. Overall, a very balanced sound with excellent reproduction.I am thoroughly impressed with these, and I would recommend anyone to try them at least once.

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.
