Good deal – 1More Triple Driver “4-star” wired headphones & intras at €45.11 (-27%)

After the Quad Driver, the first in-ear headphones from the 1More brand to enter our comparison, here are the Triple Driver. In addition to the Hi-Res Audio label affixed to their side, the two models are the first headphones in the world to be THX certified. Behind this pageantry, the Quad Drivers revealed some excellent surprises – but what about their younger brother?

The 1More Triple Drivers present excellent value for money, combining reliable construction, beautiful and robust materials, complete accessories and controls (iOS and Android compatible), excellent comfort and very good sound reproduction quality. We only deplore slightly garish midranges, and a non-angled mini-jack.

Weak points

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

More library devices than off-road companions, the E500s are clearly designed for static use, indoors, on transport or at home. A lack of “versatility” which will also have repercussions on their sound signature, certainly absolutely stunningly clean, but whose excess of liveliness and sharpness is a bit divisive. The heist of the century therefore does not take place, which does not prevent the E500 from being an interesting option if you are looking for simple, very affordable intras and above all with a very healthy sound base, before – why not – investing to move upmarket and in performance.
