1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro Wireless Headphones Review
Peter Donnell / 5 years ago
A Closer Look
If you think these look familiar, well, they do! They’re a broadly similar design to what we’ve seen from 1More in the past, such as the Triple Driver and the previous Dual Driver models which we reviewed. Of course, there are quite a few design changes to the earbuds, the drivers, the hardware inside, so don’t think this is a simple re-release, as that’s not really how 1More do things.
The neckband features two forward facing ends. On the left side, you get a little 1More logo on the side, nothing too crazy.
Along the top edge, you’ll find the power controls, wind noise reduction mode and the ANC. However, if you double-tap power you get voice control, you can toggle levels of ANC with multiple presses of that too.
On the side, you’ll find volume and a play pause button. However, that too can be used for next, previous, and voice control functions by using a multi-tap system.
The whole thing connects wirelessly to your mobile device, laptop or whatever. However, there are some cables. These little cables go from the neckband to the driver/earbud. I quite like this, it’s a nice blend of technologies and it’s very well done.
It also means 1More can use a more powerful AMP/DAC, a bigger battery, more powerful wireless tech, have more controls, etc. The mounting feel super durable and the angle is slightly offset so that it doesn’t stick out too much.
While the left end has all those lovely controls, the right end is basically blank. However, each comes dotted with the ANC microphones and standard microphones.
The headband its self is incredibly flexible. You can basically tie it in a bow it’s that bendy. It just flips back to it’s standard U-shape the moment you let go.
The drivers look fantastic, and I quickly learnt that they have a magnetic back that allows them to stick together. Albeit, it wasn’t what I needed them to do at the time, I was just holding them up for a photo.
The drivers are a really nice design, with a longer drum to allow for their patented driver design. There’s a larger top section that will sit just inside your ear, while the earbuds themselves are angled down so they more natural sit inside your ear.
There’s a nice big L and R marking on them too, little things, but I hate it when these are tricky to read.
There’s a glossy finish to the rear section, which is actually titanium plated aluminium. Then a metallic looking red ring, before a more matte finish on sandblasted & double anodized aluminium shell.
There’s a small hole at the back where you’ll find the ANC and ENC microphone tech. There’s a dust/liquid membrane here, which is the red part you can see.
There’s a LOT going on in these thing headphones.
