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 Silver

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.

TL;DR:Pros: Amazing sound quality, comfortable for long sessions, premium appearance, accessory selection, build quality with minor exceptionsCons: Some wind noise, unexpected breaking-in periodAfter a week or so of breaking them in (2+ hours of listening a day) these are absolutely blowing me away considering how much I paid for them. When paired with my HTC 10 I can hear details in my music that were long lost to my old Sennheiser CX985s. The foam earbuds are extremely comfortable for long listening sessions, and there's a massive selection of both foam and rubber tips to suit basically all ear sizes.They also look great in my opinion, and so far feel very sturdy. One complaint regarding build quality, though, is the wire going to each ear bud feels flimsy and a bit too thing - both are already fairly kinked after 2 months of regular use and I'm worried that this might be a point of failure in the future. The fabric-sleeved cord coming from the jack is very nice though.One final complaint is that they stick out a fair way, so they can get uncomfortable if your ear is pressing against anything (pillow, train window, etc), and there is a fair bit of wind noise if it's windy out or you're on a bike. Small issues though considering the sound quality and price point.

I recently lost my Shure E2Cs and baulked at the price of the SE215s which replaced that model. I started hunting around for alternatives and came across the 1More Triple Drivers. All the reviews seemed very positive, and for the money it seemed almost too good to be true.Having bought them and worn them for a few weeks I have come to some conclusions:1) Sound quality, especially treble and bass, is excellent.2) Isolation isn't brilliant - not as good as the Shures - but still perfectly acceptible when commuting on the train.3) There can be an annoying amount of microphonics - i.e. the noise you get when the cables rub together - but this can be minimised by picking different tips (see below).4) The earphones do come with a wide selection of tips, but none of them are particularly comfortable nor good at isolation.5) Lots of reviews have complained about the build quality of the volume control, but I don't see a problem with it.Having been initially disappointed by the comfort, lack of isolation and microphonics, I decided to invest in some upgraded tips. I chose the Comply T600s. This made a massive difference - much better comfort, reduced microphonics, and much better isolation.In conclusion, for the money I think these are fantastic, and I'm very happy overall, but do invest in better tips to get the best out of them.
