1MORE Quad Driver in-Ear Earphones Hi-Res High Fidelity Headphones Warm Bass, Spacious Reproduction, High Resolution, Mic in-Line Remote Smartphones/PC/Tablet - Silver/Gray

I diddnt give my 1more buds a 5 on noise cancellation only because it's not built in.its just how well you have them in your ears. But with the 45 degree design there great Now as for the sound. I have 3 other pair of wired ear buds that range from 200 to 500 dollars. These 1 more blows them all away. They sound Beautifull with very detailed music and they have the punch needed for rock. Not extremely brassy for hip hop but I'm not a bass person. These 1 more quad earbuds are the best sounding earbuds I've ever heard. They even give 800 dollar earphone cans a run for there money. They are built like a tank not plasticy at all. And the wire.is Kevlar I beleave very tough and won't tangle. Ya I made up that word. But I know there not cheap but after listining to these I'd pay 400 for this sound. The phone I had diddnt have a dac in it so I bought a audio quest red dragon fly its 32 bit and.a little smaller than a box lighter. So the phone and fax fits very easy in my pocket. As for the difference that I loved before the sac was even more amazing with the compressed files behind uncompressed by the sac plus the volume doubled. Unreal it's great. Now I've bought a new cell phone it's an I phone v35. There's a v40 same thing basicly. It has a built in saber 32 bit sac with volume booster an EQ. The I more quad earbuds and the iPhone v35 are made for each other. It's like being in a live concert Well just buy the earbuds you won't regret it. Give them a listen with a system with a dac. Most newhome sterios have them. Enjoy. Update 4/25/21 well I've had these earbuds for a couple years now since s 2019. The one more quad here buds have held up great. I only had one problem with them and I'll post that issue at the end of my post. The cords held up well nothing has loosened on them the only thing I've replaced is the phone earbud covers I still consider them the best earbuds I've ever heard for their price I've never had to go and test a $500 pair of earbuds or a $1,000 pair of earbuds due to the fact that these sounds so well. There online app that you can get at Google Play has an EQ and some other adjustments in it for your listening if you need to adjust because we all hear differentl. OK now for the problem that I had with them after 2 years I noticed a couple days ago that the middle button that's on the control switches on your right earbud it's on The wire made out of metal it's very tough I never thought to be a problem with it. Well I noticed the middle button is gone. It's the button that pauses your music and is used to answer your phone and to hang up your phone calls. I have cheated these earbuds with kid gloves I'm always kept them in their case never in a pocket full of junk actually I never carry them in my pocket I'll leave them around my neck with the clip clip to my shirt. I don't know how the button fell out it's so well made. I called Amazon to see if there's a warranty on it and the name of the company I bought them from. Unfortunately the warranty I'd run out and the supplier was no longer in business. But Amazon still replace them for free they charged me a small restocking fee of $10 and sent me a brand new pair still in the box never been open absolutely brand new. I can't complain about that I thank for your kind generosity Amazon. I give kudos to Amazon they've always treated me right I bought a lot of things through them to the years I'm a prime member I'm all prime member on their music app also. And Amazon will always go out of their way to make you happy. So that's my update I can't really complain much I don't know how the little knob came out I've looked at it and it seems impossible for it to come out maybe it was threaded in I don't know I don't see the threads but it's a very sturdy metal unit. I had a pair of bose and that same part of their earbuds that does the controls for the volume and answering the phone and all it completely fell apart after about a year and not a lot of use the center cover for the controller came off and you cannot get it back on it's a little rubber cover it's all made out of rubber I tried everything and for $170 you think it would be made a little better. But even Amazon worked with me on that and sent me a new pair again Amazon is amazing I thank them again. Well goodbye everyone stay healthy and help to make this world a better place there's no room for hate.

I just bought these Quad drivers from 1More based on the quite exceptional reviews (Please Google "1More Quad driver earphones reviews") for these earbuds. At $149 they are right up there in price with the Sennheiser, Beats, Bowers & Wilkins and Bose that lead the market. I had researched the 1More "Triples" and the "Quads" quite thoroughly before going with a brand that I was not familiar with. The "Triples" are, by all accounts, less expensive and just as good in their price bracket and I almost bought them based on PCMags recommendation this year. Since I was not phased at $149 for the Quads I decided to go with their flagship device. So here's the impression after just a day of use. Quality - wow - from the packaging to the look and feel of the components, everything oozes "first class". Think Apple packaging and design. The metal buds are machined to tight tolerances and the dark-bronze metal parts all look and feel like they will last. The whole ensemble is a little weightier than the typical plastic parts you'll find from other well-known brands, but not disturbing once in your ear. The heft makes them feel somehow more worthy and tangibly well-made. These are built to a substantial design and manufacturing quality standard. The right-angle connector for the phone end is also metal and includes a strain relief on the first 1/2" of cable that runs towards the buds. There's nothing plasticky about these except the nice non-sticky cable itself with the metal in-built remote on the right side, and the foam cushions. The earphones arrived in a very high-end looking (and feeling) hard case. Inside the box was an machined metal and logo'd airline adaptor for those twin-pin entertainment ports in armrests as well a a full size 6.3mm amplifier connector (1/4") that snaps cleanly into the standard 3.5mm connector. Also included was a pocket sized hard-shell carrying case for the earphones and an array of small to XL sized silicon and foam rubber cushions to optimize ear seal from 14mm down to 10mm. Although I have quite large ears, I found that the small 10mm foam seals allowed me to secure the L/R ear speakers snugly and with maximum seal. Not having the buds securely placed will leak the bass range out. Having them sit properly provides the precise opposite. Pick your favorite track and be prepared to inhale at any volume. These things can drive. At normal listening volumes thus placed there is little sound leakage. At about 85db, the upper limit for me on earbuds, there is the likelihood of other people's awareness of music leaking out at about 6', but it's faint to the people around me I asked and not disturbing. At more subdued levels, there is little evidence of the music you are playin to the outside world. I will try them in the gym tomorrow but already feel these are secure enough for my routine of cross-trainer and weights. I have only made a couple of calls on them so far, but the sound quality is clean and clear with good sound isolation. The remote hangs up cleanly and when playing music controls volume (but not as I expected fwd/reverse on tracks). On the phone calls I asked if the other party could hear cleanly and without distortion and two reports out of two said the received audio quality was excellent. My end of the line was perfect. So much for the right-side in line mic. No complaint there. Playing music! These plug into my iPhone XS with the official white Apple dongle/DAC to start (the usual "lightning to 3.5mm jack adaptor). Then I played music with two different portable DAC set ups- a Dragonfly Red and my iFi Nano Black before adding the 6.3mm connector to try on my home amp (Peachtree Audio Nova 300 with its own very sophisticated internal DAC). And while it might not be a totally fair comparison to match these 1More earbuds at $149 to my 4x to 5x more expensive headphones (Sennheiser HD700 open back and Oppo-PM-3 planar magnetic closed back), the 1More earbuds stayed with it - I would say effortlessly - across a variety of my favorite listening tracks. I played Talking Heads "Speaking in Tongues" to kick off. Then Muddy Waters "Folk Singer" and Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" all in FLAC/MQA format (hi-res audio files). Frankly, with the Dragonfly Red in line and a high quality source, these earbuds are about the best sounding in-ear speakers I have ever owned. But even playing Apple Music at 256kbs, the sound was brighter, more detailed and warmer than any other buds that I have tried in this price bracket. I have Rebecca Pidgeon's version of "Spanish Harlem" in FLAC and in iTunes and listened to both. Should I confess that the Apple version was pretty darned good and Im not sure I would be able separate it from the hi-res edition in a blind test? Bear in mind, I used an external DAC with my phone to listen to all the tracks. The DragonFly Red does a great job presenting even relatively lo-res files in this set up but even with the Apple Dongle (about $10 from Apple) things were very very good. The bass is an area that won't disappoint. I doubt this is a flat EQ tuned set up, but if you like to feel the pace and punch off a good kick-drum, these bring it on in spades. I'm not a metal fan but listening to some simple old reggae (Burning Spear, "Marcus Garvey" and "Dry & Heavy") bass is swinging, tight and punchy with no boom or muddiness. Voices across the mids stand out with a real sound-stage of their own - even without the BS2B filter I use on headphones (this is an EQ setting within the music app (like Vox) that cleverly meshes the sound output with some fancy filters/algorithms to compensate for overly Left-Right channel separation that is more evident in headphones listening to music mixed by the sound-engineers to play on speakers). This is where the company's bragged about sound-engineer consulting looks like it has paid off. Muddy Waters remastered "Folk Singer" album jumps out, sliding on a 6-string, hand slapping the wood and the singer's breaths and grunts clearly evident with the full range of string vibration spanning highs to lows without any stress. Talking Heads classic remastered album (from 1984 originally, bought then on CD now playing MQA) driving and swinging with synth drum and regular electric bass and David Byrne's crazy vocals as real and cuckoo as we love him to be. Miles' trumpet, even the high notes, never shrill or piercing. Nice roll-off at the upper reaches testifying to an excellent frequency response well beyond my ears all the while letting snare and upright bass occupy their own distinct place in the sound-stage. The overall impression is neither 3D nor plain L-R ...maybe above the head or a little forward...no mean feat when listening to music that may have been recorded on a four track or an eight track. I cannot think of any real downside to these earbuds, especially at this price. For this sound quality in regular headphones you might expect to pay at least twice a much. I've paid much more for much less. So these are going everywhere with me and when I can't be bothered to hook up the big cans will not be subjected to the torture that cheap earbuds inflict on music, especially the 256 kbs variety. These earbuds WILL show up poor quality recordings or lossy files. If that's a beef, stick with lo-resolution cans. (Just joking, who wants that?). If you like detail, taught low-end bass, detailed and warm-forward mids and treble then buy these with confidence. I gave my old Beats (similar price) to my daughter before buying these and have owned the Bose and Sennheiser earbuds prior to these. 1More is the new king. And is not even that close at this price point. I am not a paid reviewer and not connected to the company - or any audio firm - , just a serious music lover with audiophile tastes in equipment - even if I can't afford it. I rarely post reviews of this length and am doing this one because these guys have earned the accolades. Cheap sound is like bad wine. Why bother at all? This is a set of earphones you will enjoy without reservation.

I'd been enjoying Bose in-ear earphones (purchased at Costco) for nearly four years when they stopped working. I did my research and settled on these. They arrived earlier in the week. Some observations: - Bottom line: the sound is gorgeous. I listen to everything from orchestral and vocal classical through the full spectrum of jazz to rock. No hip hop or rap. I've been using these for five days and am quite impressed at the sound quality for the price. Very rich and complex. - Ensure to put them in at the proper angle. When I initially changed the tips to find the proper fit the sound of the music was tinny and I thought something was wrong with the earbuds. They're fine. it was me. I must have had them in at the wrong angle. I came back the following day to play with them more and they sounded great. They come with eight different-sized tips so you can find a snug fit for your ear canal, which is crucial. And when you find the proper fit the seal and sound is fabulous. - I will wear these ~ 8 hours a week lifting at the gym, and also commuting/walking around. They're great in the gym so far. The Kevlar cord is a bonus, as that's where my Bose 'buds failed. Very durable. In the gym as I move I don't find a rubbing sound from the cord annoying (unlike some other reviewers here.) I can see how it might be, however, for runners or if you're moving around a lot. When I lift my movements are slower and controlled. Walking down the street I do notice some cord noise, which is a result of the two cords attached to each ear bouncing off the upper part of my chest. When I move about a lot and the cord rubs and bounces on my shirt it does make an annoying noise. That's why they supply a clip for attaching it to your shirt. If you're a runner, I'd use buds with a lighter cord and save these for other uses unless you want to clip them to your shirt. - I'd rather not have the L-shaped connector as I'm afraid this may be a weak link; however, I assume they know what they're doing with the design as the triple-driver 'buds don't have this. We'll see. - I'm not an audiophile but I know rich sound when I hear it. Am listening to the jazz pianist Marc Copland right now. on an 8th-gen iPod Nano The bass is rich but unobtrusive; the percussion is subtle and varied. It's as if I'm in a concert hall with the trio. Beautiful sound balance. Love it. Same with Beethoven symphonies, Chopin, The Who and Disclosure. Ear candy! - The construction is very solid. Seems as though these will withstand lots of use. - The luxuriousness of the packaging is ridiculous. The faux-leather carrying case will come in handy when I'm on the road; they could, however, have cut at least $15 off the price with simpler packaging. Oh, well. Sunk cost. I'll enjoy the box. - Noise cancellation? I have no idea what they're talking about. I'm listening to this jazz piano trio with the windows open. The music sound is wonderful but I can hear a bird singing out in the yard. Maybe I need to use the foam tips provided in order to get this effect. OK... I put the foam tips on. A bit better but I still hear that bird a bit. Perhaps someone can enlighten me in this area! I will allow that I can now wear these 'buds on the subway in the morning and the seal on my ear canal is so good the train noise doesn't interfere with my listening. So there's that. As I noted, have been using these for five days. Am happy with my purchase thus far. Will report back in several months. UPDATE: Five months later. Very pleased I bought these. The sound is gorgeous no matter what I'm playing, they're very durable, and I 'm confident I'll be enjoying them for a long, long time.

I really hate to say this but my $2,000 bookshelf speakers which I thought sound it's amazing don't quite sound as good as these headphones. Of course with a set of headphones all the sound is being pump directly into your ear and it's not bouncing off the walls and being changed by your room so I'm really not surprised the set of headphones can sound better but a set of $150 headphones sounding better. I'm now a little disappointed in my speakers lol. They're not extremely bass-heavy but they do have plenty of deep controlled Bass,. some headphones are super Bass heavy and that kind of drowns out the mid-range and the highs,. If you're looking for a set of headphones that does nothing but bump and thump likes and sounds like someone's rolling down the street with some 18 inch subwoofers in the trunk these might not be for you,. If you like awesome detailed sound where everything seems to be extremely balanced with great separation that lets you hear every part of the music these very well maybe for you. I think they are very comfortable and they fit in my ear very well it's actually kind of hard to pull them out of your ear lightly tug on the wires, my other earphones pull right out if I lightly tug on the wires these ones are in there pretty good,. I have nothing bad to say about these, they seem to be around excellent. For the last 10 years or so I've been listening to this pair of Klipsch headphones and I thought they sounded very nice but they weren't quite perfect,. I listen to these one more earphones for a couple of hours and then I switched back to my old earphones and now my order earphones some pretty disappointing compared to these. I just had to hear for myself what a set of quad driver headphones sounded like,. For the price I wasn't really expecting to be that great. at first they sounded pretty bad,. after a couple hours of playtime they broke in so I believe you do need to break in headphones. Same with any set of speakers you get when you first get a speaker that's brand new the moving parts can be very stiff and not move as freely as they should but after a few hours of playing or a few days or even a few weeks those materials loosen up and the speaker is able to move in and out easier and that can actually improve your sound quality so some speakers and headphones don't sound that great when you first get them but after some play time they really start to sound nice,. So make sure you give these things a chance,. They sound that really flat and uninteresting to sounding like I'm in the room with the musicians. I have been in the high-end audio since I was about 14 years old and I'm in my forties now, this is definitely one of the best sounding pair of earphones I have ever heard. If you use the memory foam,. my brain is drawing a blank all of a sudden but the things that go in your ear it comes with several different sizes that you can attach to the earphones but the memory foam ones block out so much sound it's unreal it's definitely like having some noise cancelling going on. If you use the silicone attachments you can still hear people trying to talk to you and things like that what was the foam ones you really can't.

The reason I purchased these earbuds is because I lost my 1More Triple Driver Earbuds. I was a big fan of these earphones and looked forward to see if the 4 driver buds could match and exceed these. In a word - yes, they did. I did not burn in the triple driver buds but thought I would perform this lenghty process in the hope that it would squeeze out everything these buds could offer. Beware, it takes a lot of time but i think it may be warranted. Without having an 'unburned in' pair to compare them to I can only say it did not hurt them. I downloaded the 1More Assistant app and let it do its thing. The burn in process consists of 4 stages. Stage 1 and stage 2 take 11 hours each. Stage 3 is 72 hours and stage 4 is 24 hours. As you can imagine this takes more tha a week. Once it was completed I was able to get to my music. I started with the first track of the Renaissance ‘Scheherazade’ album: Trip to the Fair. The piano intro sounded so natural with all of its big, bold keystrokes. It seemed as if I was in the studio with them. But then Anne Haslem came in with her angelic voice. As much as I love her sound I could almost ‘see’ her track being overlaid onto the instrumental track that introduced her. I never heard that before and honestly, it sort of disturbed me. Keep in mind I was listening with my phone which meant the files were MP3. I later used the included attachment that allows you to plug the earbud mini jacks into a normal jack. Now I was able to plug into my Marantz SR7010 AVR. I played the CD for this album and the ‘over laid’ effect did not appear. Her vocal track sounded completely natural. Was this the earbuds unflinching reproduction of what it was being asked to reproduce? In other words – garbage in, garbage out. I do not hold this against the earbuds. Next, to see how the buds handled base I turned to Paolo Nutini’ Caustic Love’ album which starts with the amazing song “Scream”. This allowed the buds to show their range by letting the drivers open up with a driving base line. I never heard this MP3 track sound better. Finally, I turned to Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante on Philips records featuring Sir Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra. I wanted to see how the buds would handle the demands of an orchestra. The orchestra sounded quite natural and he leading violin and viola sounded unstrained or colored. I do not know if the extensive burn-in process is responsible, or simply the amazing build quality of these earbuds. What I can say is that they not only matched the sound of the 3- driver buds I lost but have up the ante to a level that far exceeds their price point. You would be hard put to find a set of earbuds that perform at this level for even $100.00 more. What a bargin!!!

These are junk. Modifying my review after bad experience. I even measured with a Dayton imm6 and using spectroid and audio tool for Android to confirm what I heard. Besides the poor quality control, you can't even trust that you're going to get the same tune from left to right. I had 6decibels less of bass in one versus the other. Massive difference. The tune looked completely whack and the low end was missing on both sides with one side completely being shot. I tried a second time and basically the same problem with volume and base not being anywhere near the same between left and right. The company has never responded to two separate emails that I sent them through their website. It's been a long time and I don't suspect they ever will. Maybe in the very beginning they had something good going years ago, but I'd stay far away from this company and all of its products. Not only that they still didn't update what it comes with for accessories on their website. You don't get the hard magnetic flat box or airplane adapter like it says. You get what you see in the picture which is the little baggy and a 3.5 to USBC adapter. Nothing against the adapter but this is deception. It still says you get the old accessories on their website and you don't. Not only that, I found an old video of the quad drivers and when looking at the diagram and pausing the video, I could see it said three balanced armatures on the diagram on the box. The dynamic driver and three balanced armatures. The website still says right now that it's three balanced armatures. My box said three planar diaphragms. Planar diaphragms! So is it three balanced armatures or is it three planar diaphragms? More straight up deception with the website still saying three balanced armatures. This company is scum and their deceivers and they're putting out absolute garbage right now and need to be called out. I bet every one of these that come out of the factory don't sound the same with either the left or right side not balanced or even just completely dead. I wanted to like them but this company won't be looked at ever again for me. Straight up multiple deceptions and no responses to email. At some point they must have started changing things and the quality control went to total crap and you don't even know what the heck is in these earphones anymore. You can't trust the reviews or older reviews at all. Even if you get lucky and it's supposed to be whatever it is....... The chances of it staying that way for very long is slim to none. Something's wrong with this company big time right now. Stay away and don't waste your money or time trying to return them. There's zero quality control and I have no clue what on earth these things even are and what they have inside of them. Don't be deceived by the outward appearance of the box and the earphones. These things are worse and quality than my JVC gumy wired earphones. Those $10 JVC measured within one decibel throughout the whole entire tune from 20 HZ to 20K. For $10 the tune is very good between the left and right and I trust it's reliability more than these 140 dollar earphones by a few miles sadly. The microphone sound of the quad drivers was okay. The JVC might just have them beat though by a little bit. Seriously. Total fail. They're raking in the dough for what they're putting out. I can't say these are even worth $10 when it fails on you right away or the tune is so different between left and right and volume so different and bass so different........

Let me start off by saying that this could be an individual issue as opposed to an issue with the headphones themselves. I might just have small ear canals that would account for some of the issues I've experienced with the quad driver in-ear headphones. Let's start with the good. The remote feels sturdy and has held up very well. It has a nice tactile feedback on button presses, and is responsive. Voice calls have zero issues hearing me and I haven't had a complaint of noise from outside or cable. The sound clarity that comes from these are pretty amazing. They do a beautiful job of keeping a balanced stage across the board. Bass levels are on par with what the artist was trying to accomplish and this holds true from rock, to hip-hop, to classical. (I listen to them all.) Same for mids, highs, and vocals. Obviously the audio source matters, but there is clarity that you're not getting with other headphones. Comparably, I also have Bose QC20's, Sennheiser Momentums, Klipsch S4i's, etc. While each of those have their strengths in their own right, the 1more's clarity and balance blew them away. Now here's where my issues come into play. Each of the above mentioned have no issue staying put in my ears. I tried the foam tips, every tip size that came with the headphones, and a few that ordered separately. Not one of them will keep these in my ears. They are heavy, great build quality, but heavy. I tried looping the cord over my ears as well. If you happen to lay down while using them they will fall out of your ears, if you're like me of course. A flanged tip might have solved this issue for me and helped with outside noise, but with their weight I don't know. I've tried using them for working out, for listening to music to go to sleep, and travel. From a noise isolation perspective they are fine when they stay in your ears. Not great, but just ok. The other end of sound isolation is the cord noise. I didn't find it to be any worse, possibly better than other sets, but the cord has yet to straighten out. Overall I'm disappointed that I don't get to enjoy them more. I spend most of my time now just trying to figure out how to keep them in my ears. I do think that 1more makes a great product and I'd try a different set in hopes that they stay put better.

I've nothing, after a month, almost, of using these guys, but positive things to say about 'em ; the sound is just plain amazing, incredibly accurate, full, complete, and on and on. Every time I get a chance to use them, I smile; they're fairly easy to fit in the ears, just don't try it backwards, they won't fit right. They're really comfortable and I can wear them for hours with no discomfort. As I go through a lot of the music I've come to listen to (I'm 70), every time I listen to a tune I've not heard for a while, be it a year or 10 yrs., I still simply cannot believe how GOOD of a sound these little things put out. It doesn't take much to feed 'em, as they're very sensitive. There's a great way to tell if your speakers/phones/buds have good bass response - Peter Gabriel's song "In your eyes" from the Secret World Live tour. Find it on YouTube, start it playing and at the 59-second mark, you'll hear a definite bass thump start, and continue. I tried some of my older phones/buds, and quite a few passed over the one-minute thump, and I heard nothing. With the 1Mores, it came through beautifully. Not too heavy, or too light, but just right, to me. Remember, no matter what anyone says, how a speaker, or phones sound, it's totally subjective; it's all in the ear of the listener - what sounds good to me may not to you, what Bill says about a Brooks and Dunn song, Herb disagrees, and on and on, etc. BUT....you won't go wrong with a pair of these, no sir! When it's a real pleasure listening to ANYTHING, that's what quality is about. If you can afford these, and they're not that expensive (I got mine for $96.00 thru Amazon new and used dept. They were in brand new condition on arrival. Just because the box had a scratch on it, I saved damb near $40.00. So if you're in the market, look no further; my subjective opinion of these is: They're Great! I've never heard better. Incredibel bass response and musical quality. Otay, 'nuff sedd. Bioman out.

Consapevole che è difficile poter dare un giudizio che possa essere significativo per tutti perché come suona una cuffia dipende molto dai gusti e dalla sensibilità di ognuno di noi, ho deciso di approcciarmi ad essa con una prova comparativa delle cuffie in mio possesso. Devo aggiungere che la fonte, la capacità di pilotare le nostre cuffie sarà determinante per la resa delle stesse perché collegarle ad un cellulare o ad un amplificatore non è la stessa cosa. Se vi interessa usarle essenzialmente per telefonare e ascoltare musica senza impegno prendete pure degli auricolari da 30 euro che vi soddisferanno sicuramente. Per ascoltare la musica in maniera coinvolgente allora queste cuffie sono da prendere in seria considerazione. Ad ogni modo ecco le cuffie impiegate nel mio test: Xiaomi Piston 2 (credo), 1more Quad Driver, Shure SE535 e Sennheiser HD565 Ovation. Amplificazione utilizzata Marantz PM17 Signature. Brano dei Radiohead, Burn the witch in flac. Il suono delle Xiaomi è terribilmente piatto, suonano perché funzionano ma non trasmettono nulla di che, vanno bene per telefonare e per ascoltare qualcosa in mancanza di altro. Il suono delle 1more è straordinariamente molto buono, inaspettatamente godibile. C'è tutto, bassi, medi ed alti nella giusta, a mio avviso, misura. Il suono delle Shure è decisamente cristallino ed analitico ma, come dire, più freddo ma stiamo parlando di una cuffia che costa il triplo e che presenta un grave difetto costruttivo: dopo 3 anni di utilizzo normale in casa, senza averle sottoposte ad alcun stress termico, la conchiglia SX si è scollata dividendosi in due. Siccome non sono l'unico ad avere avuto questo problema ciò significa che Shure risparmia sulla colla con il risultato di farmi disaffezionare al marchio e l'acquisto di 1more ne è stato il risultato. Il suono delle Sennheiser riprende leggermente in meglio quello delle 1more con un suono più aperto e maggiormente intelleggibile solo perché ho fatto il confronto altrimenti, come equilibrio tonale, avrei detto che suonano alla stessa maniera. Quindi secondo me 1more vale tutti i soldi spesi per la qualità sonora che ti viene data, anzi, suonano meglio di cuffie che costano di più. L'affidabilità sarà da verificare ma l'eventualità di ricomprarle per quanto mi riguarda sarà una strada sicuramente percorribile. Da tenere presente anche che il corredo con cui viene fornita la cuffia è veramente sbalorditivo e ti trasmette la sensazione di avere a che fare con un prodotto premium. Per uso personale o anche come regalo la 1more Quad Driver è una scelta, per la qualità fornita anche se le colleghi ad un cellulare, decisamente azzeccata. La consiglio.

I can't talk about tiers and timing like the audiophiles , but I know what I like. I have been using the One More Quad Drivers and have been very pleased with them. They almost come up to the Sony WF-1000WM4's. The difference between Aonic 5 and the One More Quad Drivers is astonishing. They are in two completely different categories. The Aonic 5 are super crystal clear, you can hear everything in crisp detail and pick out every instrument and especially voices with extreme clarity. They have laser precision and show their studio pedigree. With the right recording they can make you feel as though you are standing right in the middle of the music. At times, sounds emerge which you weren't aware of before. This can lead to a new perception of the music, a new view of complex relationships. A new Gestalt. I think this may be partly what some reviewers refer to as 'musicality'. Because they bring out so much, they make you want to explore even more. It's a good thing they are so comfortable. You could wear them all day quite easily and they make you want to do that. We are talking a four times price difference between the Aonic 5's and the Quads, and the Quads aren't exactly cheap. In an instant direct comparison the Quads can sound muffled. I like the Quads very much and they are my go to earphones, but I was amazed by the stark difference, it's not that they are bad, it's just that they are not as sharp and crisp as the Aonic 5's. In many situations I actually prefer the Quads, when I want more bass body to voice and speech for example and a dark sound signature, which is most of the time. The razor sharp crispness of the Aonic 5's also exposes all that's going on in a recording, and sometimes it might make life easier just not to hear all the defects. But the Aonics are in a class of their own. To me the Aonic 5's are special, they allow me to listen to music as I have never heard before. And that is priceless. But, for most of the time I don't want the analysis. The Aonic 3's made me realise that. I am not an audiophile, and the Aonic 3 prove it. My perfect sound signature for earphones is the 1More Quad Driver, on the other side of the spectrum to the Aonic 3's. One review say that the Aonic 3's have an understated delivery. What he means by this is they "have no bass". Another, that low-end bass notes sound fantastic. Ugh! What? My hearing is pretty good, but I can't hear them. Unless you are referring to that clinical, anemic, empty, hollow low frequency. Is that what you call bass? I was brought up on syrupy, dark, deep bass voices coming out of a huge 1950's valve radio. Now that is what you call bass! And the 1More Quad Driver has it in spades. It's luxuriant, warm, smooth, rich, deep-toned, it envelopes you. The Aonic 3's don't have this. It makes voice and speech productions sound thin, anemic and lacking in body and depth. Movie soundtracks suffer the same fate. But, they might be accurate according to the audiophiles. They might be perfectly balanced, but the world isn't perfectly balanced. That's the problem. So why try and make it sound as though it is. In fact, all this Hi-Fi stuff has made me realise that I don't want Hi-Fi! I want Lo-Fi. I use the headphone socket on my Galaxy A20e, the cheapest they ever made, as an audio source for my Denon/Wharfedale stereo. Sacrilege! Do you know how awful the dacs are that they use in phones? I don't care! You know why, it sounds, fantastic! My internet radio and TV sound great. Good bass and mid-frequencies make speech and voice sound real and full bodied. Not anemic, razor sharp and artificial. In fact, I think I will start manufacturing huge 1950's valve radios. Of course they will have a socket round the back labelled "Aux" where you can plug in your record player. Lo-Fi, that's what we want. You just wait, it will bring the HiFi industry to its knees. Audiophiles will admit that Lo-Fi sounds better and that they were wrong. The future is Lo-Fi. And all because I bought a pair of Aonic 3's, Aonic 5's and 1More Quad Drivers.

Update: Ich muss meine Rezension ein wenig revidieren - nicht dass das bisher geschriebene falsch wäre, aber es gibt dann doch nicht wieder, wie gut diese In-Ears wirklich sind. Ich habe es bisher für Quatsch gehalten, dass Kopfhörer „eingespielt“ werden müssen. Das ist aber tatsächlich bei diesen In-Ears der Fall! Sie sind definitiv über die ersten Wochen immer besser geworden. Das betrifft maßgeblich die Tiefen, die Höhen haben sich nicht verändert, aber dadurch verbessert sich insgesamt die ganze Balance. Die höhen sind und waren immer von einer ausgesprochenen Transparenz ohne schrill, künstlich oder gar klirrend zu klingen. Merkt man z.B. bei Stimmen insbesondere an der Klarheit der Konsonanten. Bei 3 Hochtönern jetzt vielleicht auch kein Wunder. Was jetzt aber beindruckend geworden ist, ist der Tiefenbereich. Allein beim Frequenzgang mag man seinen Ohren nicht trauen. Es taucht in guten Aufnahmen eine Textur auf, von der ich zum Teil gar nicht wusste, dass sie in den Liedern vorhanden ist. Phänomenal! Und wenn es dann richtig zur Sache geht, dann kann sogar der ganze Kiefer mitvibrieren. Was aber bleibt ist, dass der Sitz extrem wichtig ist. Wenn die Aufsätze nicht sauber dichten (wenn sie richtig sitzen merkt man deutlich auch an Umgebungsgeräuschen die dann ebenfalls stark gedämpft werden), dann bleibt viel von dem Erlebnis auf der Strecke - dann klingen sie halt „määäh - ganz ok“. Ich hatte sie in meiner ursprünglichen Rezension mit den Sony V900 verglichen - jetzt ist ganz klar: Sie haben keine Chance im direkten Vergleich, sie bieten über den gesamten Frequenzbereich nicht die gleiche Differenzierung und bieten weder oben noch unten den gleichen Punch und der Frequenzgang ist auch kleiner. Aber sie sind halt einfacher: Aufsetzen und fertig, kein „rumpulen“ im Ohr. Wer bereit ist das auf sich zu nehmen bekommt was besonderes. Erstes Review: Die Quad Driver sind vielfach gereviewed und insbesondere gegen die Triple Driver verglichen worden. In den meisten Fällen war die Bewertung positiv, aber es wurde angemerkt, dass sie im Vergleich zu den Triple Drivern ein nicht so gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis (bei 200€ Preis) hätten. Nun, ich habe keine Triple Driver, ich habe aber auch nur 118€ gezahlt - zu bekommen sind sie sogar für 113€, wobei Amazon dann gerne den Preis leicht anhebt wenn die Dinger im Warenkorb liegen. So habe ich sie dann auch für 113€ reingelegt und bis zum Checkout 118€ gezahlt. Naja, will nicht schimpfen - ich habe es sehenden Auges gemacht. Verarbeitung: Für 118€ übersteigt die Verarbeitungsqualität von der sehr stylischen Verpackung bis hin zum Kabel wirklich jedes noch so kleine Detail meine Erwartungen bei weitem. Ich vermute auch sehr das die Unterschiede zum Triple Driver eher hier liegen als Im Klang. Wer sich daran erfreut wird es lieben. Hier wurde wirklich an keiner Ecke gespart. Selbst der Stecker und das Bedienteil wirken wie aus dem Vollen gefräst. Die Oberflächen sind fein gearbeitet und offensichtlich ziemlich hart, denn Kratzer gabs bisher keine, obwohl die beiden Hörer beim Aufwickeln schon ganz gerne gegeneinander schlagen. Klang: Aber man kauft ja keine Kopfhörer wegen der Verarbeitung. Beim Klang muss man ein paar Dinge beachten: Die Kopfhörer muss richtig im Gehörgang sitzen. das die Gehäuse eher groß sind hatte ich die Tendenz sehr kleine Silikonaufsätze zu wählen...und war enttäuscht von den fehlenden Bässen. Es war ok aber nicht wirklich aufregend. Irgendwann habe ich dann mal auf die Hörer von aussen gedrückt und plötzlich klangen sie ganz anders. Nichts mehr von fehlendem Bass. Also dachte ich, sie sein belüftet und habe danach gesucht, welches Loch ich dicht kleben müsste. Das gibt es aber nicht. Es waren die Aufsätze, die nicht richtig im Gehörgang gedichtet haben. Ich bin dann zu größeren Aufsätzen gegangen und dann bei den überraschend (für mich) großen 13mm Aufsätzen gelandet. Die dichten so, dass man deutlich weniger von der Umgebung wahrnimmt was für mich bei InEars für mich ungewohnt war. Die Belohnung ist, dass die Quad Diver ein wahnwitziges Spektrum abdecken. Ich höre Bässe in Songs, von denen ich nie wusste, dass sie da sind. In den Höhen gehen die Quad Driver ohnehin rauf bis das Ohr nicht mehr folgen kann. Natürlich bedingt das, dass man sie mit einer entsprechenden Quelle treibt. Bei mir ein Pioneer XDP-02U. Verglichen mit meinem uralten Sony V900 (OverEar - die immer noch eine gewisse Referenz für mich darstellen und vor 15 Jahren mal DEUTLICH teurer als 118€) gewinnen im Detail wohl die Quad Driver. Verglichen mit einem Geneva XL ("Sound Box": der Geneva L war mal die Klang Referenz für die Abbey Road Studios) kann man feststellen wie getreu und präzise die Quad Driver die Quelle wieder geben. Der Nachteil: Man, hört auf den Aufnahmen auch jedes Hintergrundgeräusch, was eigentlich nicht auf die Aufnahme gehören sollte (gerade bei Live-Aufnahmen) und auch jedes Artefakt was nicht zur Musik gehört. Komfort: Für meine Ohrmuschel etwas groß. Im Gehörgang mit den Silikonaufsätzen sehr angenehm, aber die Gehäuse außen drücken etwas bei mir. Ich habe aber ziemlich kleine Ohren. Mikrofon: Sicherlich die unwichtigste Kategorie - in Zeiten vom Corona-Virus sitze ich allerdings auch teilweise 12 Stunden mit diesen Kopfhörern in Video-Besprechungen. Ich bekomme nur Lob für meine Verständlichkeit am anderen Ende. Am Mikrophon scheint also auch nicht gespart worden zu sein. Allerdings finde ich für Besprechungen den Umstand, dass die Quad Driver so sauber abdichten unangenehm, weil ich meine eigene Stimme nicht so gut höre. Was auch der Grund ist, weswegen ich die Bose QC35 sehr ungerne für Besprechungen nutze, es sei den ich bin in einer sehr lauten Umgebung. Fazit: Ob man sie "mag" ist sicherlich Geschmacksache, ich glaube aber nicht das irgendjemand an der Qualität und Wiedergabetreue etwas kritisieren kann. Ich glaube sie können mit Fug und Recht HiFi für High Fidelity für sich beanspruchen. Ich hätte dafür sicherlich auch 200€ bezahlt und hätte das noch für günstig gehalten. Für 118€ sind sie ein absolutes Schnäppchen.

Wow..just freaking wow. I didn't know this kind of 3d imaging and soundstage was possible from a IEM. I'm probably considered a "cheap" audiophile, and these even make some of my over-ear cans (598cs, ath-m50x) seem like freebie headphones that come free with a new phone. I bought a set of the Triples, thought I'd try a set of these at the same time so I could compare - The Triples were defective, had some assembly issues, but the sound was the same so I was A/B switching with them and it's not even a comparison, AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN BROKEN IN YET!! - Also, I found the QUADs housing to loook much better, be smaller, and a more comfortable fit (not tips or the inner ear part, but the exterior of the bud itself and how far it would protrude from my ear - I can lay on a pillow wearing these and be reasonably comfortable, but the TRIPLEs are larger and a different angle and I couldn't lie down with them - Pushed too much into my ear) Color me impressed - Now they ARE double the price, and to likely 80% of people out there the performance\price ratio is far sweeter for the Triples, but if you are buying a set to last you for a while, and notice a smile and\or tear (cmon guys its ok to admit to happy tears) come across your face when you hear small details you have never heard before in your favorite songs... I think you have your answer. Listening to some John Williams FLACs - Closing my eyes and I can pick out the placement of individual instruments, and they are all individual, they are not muddled together. I put a side into the Fiance's ear and asked her to listen at pretty high volumes, and the first thing she said was how surprised she was that it was so loud, but didn't hurt her ears. My NOTE4 goes fairly loud, and I was surprised when listening critically that the volume was almost all the way up without any distortion or pain\aches. ONLY 2 negatives I can say at this point: -These are pretty accurate - They will bring out the worst in your crappy recordings. Lossless files will be the best, obviously, but I can easily pick out compressed files anything lower than 200ish. 128k/sec MP3 sounds like AM radio haha - But that just goes to show you how all those other headphones are "muddling" details, despite if those details are good or bad. -The diameter of the headphone that actually sticks into your ear is pretty large - It is fairly painful trying to get the foam tips on. Ended up wrecking the 2 11mm foam tips, which are the only ones I wanted to use, so i'm getting by with the silicone tips - I'm still trying to find the perfect tip, but be wary trying to put any tips on - It's one hell of a tight fit, and if you aren't careful (hell I was super careful) you will just rip them up.
