E1001-GD Wired in Ear Earphone with Mic (Gold)

I bought the QUAD Drivers thinking them to be better than these, only to return those within a week of their purchase. Now its been a month of using these and boy I share with everyone how magnificent these earphones are. Lets just say these are the best earphones for movie watchers, real music lovers and those who love Netflix on their IPODS, IPADS AND IPHONES. BEST USE: Apple products (iPod, iPad, IPhone) or any quality DAC or AMP PROS 1) Surround sound, natural sound, a delight for movie watchers on good gadgets (All Apple devices, LG G6, V30 Sony Z Premium) 2) Best for high res audio and music apps such as Spotify (not in India but hacks available to get it here), Wynk, Gaana and Saavn For their range, quite light on the ear 3) Variety of earphone nozzle caps for different ear sizes 4) Perfect for video and audio editing 5) Light on the ears unlike their higher model - QUAD DRIVERS 6) Magnificent box with a special pouch for portability 7) Can listen to various instruments so distinctly CONS 1) The cables should be detachable. Imagine a scenario where the wires get broken. Such an expensive set would just be left to nothing. This needs to be sorted. 2) Hardcore bass lovers wont be pleased as it gives balanced output and no extra bass 3) Too expensive Highly recommended if you are a natural music lover. Stay away if you are looking for beats and bass only.

So, I have purchased 2 pairs of the same triple driver beasts over the period of 2.5 years. I love their sound for the price, I am at a point that I couldn't go any lower. I immediately start noticing distortions in cheap 1-3k earphones. I have owned a similarly priced RHA before, so I consider myself to be slightly well informed (Infact I'd like to call myself an audiophile) Now, to the point CONS: 1. Lack of a substantial soundstage. I have used the RHA MA750 and 650 and both of them have a lot wider soundstage than this one. The feeling of sound striking from afar is quite brilliant and I can't feel that on the 1more triple driver. However, they have their own flaws. 2. Product quality. I mean everybody praises them for their quality. But this is something you see while using them. The earphones seems to be quite durable from the kevlar wrapped cable, to an all metal housing for the earphones. But they have seriously bad wires leading from when the kevlar cable ends to the insides of the driver. The black cables one of which houses the in line controls is a seriously bad quality stuff. Even though it might feel good touching the wires texture, the wire itself is like a slightly thicker plastic wrap. My first pair died because of this very reason. Even by keeping them in their cases the wires would naturally bend and that bending is enough for the wire to develop tears around them revealing the copper wires. Also, the metal housing's paint is just too bad. They start to develop scratches after week 2 It's not like they don't know how to build a better build quality product. Because their quad drivers solve all the above problems I stated. But then I don't think build quality is something that should be sacrificed

The BEST in ears I've ever had. Prior to this I was using the sony XB90EX.. When it finally went bad, I bought the sony MDR EX750. But it didn't match my earlier earphones in terms of warmth specifically in the mid range.. I then went ahead and bought these Pros * Crystal clear bass, midrange and high treble without being harsh * Excellent separation of sounds.. You can almost visualize the arrangement of instruments * Vocals and instrumentals sound full bodied, warm and punchy * Better than the XB90EX in terms of overall sound quality and much better than Sony MDR EX750. * Excellent and premium packing.. Cons * Relatively unknown brand.. Long term durability and warranty might be at risk * No brag value.. It's not a "Bose" If you love music, go for it blindly... It's bass is not as over exaggerated as the XB series, but it gives a far more balanced and refined sound. And bass can always be boosted using software, but quality and clarity cannot

I have been using this headphone for over a month now. It takes about 10-12 hours of burn-in period, so don't be disappointed if you do not feel the headphone is not up to the mark during that time period. I am highly satisfied with the audio spectrum and dynamic range of this headphone. If you are a bass head, don't go for this headphone. That does not mean that this headphone lacks bass, it does not overdo it, unlike some of the other headphones that are in trend today. My music preference is mostly in EDM, pop and rock and this headphone offers the perfect sound for that kind of listening. In terms of build quality, there are no complaints either, although I would have loved to see the durable rope like material, used for the complete length of the headphone, and not till the mic only. Lastly, I must complement 1MORE for the packaging of the product. Unboxing the product is really one of a kind experience. The cases, the eartips, the attachments are of top notch quality. I have seen people complaining about the size and angle of the eartips, with some people complaining about the tips falling off the ear too quickly. Luckily for me, the default eartip was good enough. As for the angle of the eartip, it might not work if you are using this during gym session, but I use it mainly during my work hours and daily commute, and there is no problem as such in those conditions. Overall, I am thoroughly satisfied, and highly recommend the product.

The sound quality is great although bass is not that high. However, around 16 months since purchase, the sound from left earbud became very minimal even at the loudest. I contacted 1More customer care and they asked me to send the earbuds by post or courier which I did. They simply returned the headsets saying that its out of warranty and can't be repaired. I feel that for such expensive earbuds and tall claims of quality, this is very poor when compared to others such as Bose.

At first I thought I lost it to spend 9K. however as time passed and I compared it to other earphones I could sense some difference in the sound quality. Then I started trying it on different devices and then suddenly it started shining with that amazing clarity and every detail of the music was placed for me to feel and enjoy. Amazing packing and lightning fast delivery by Amazon. Only thing I didnt like was the set of bundled ear tips. They could have bundled something better than this. Other than that I loved the build quality of the earphones. Update They seem to show a lot of wear after few months of moderate use. The eartips are pathetic and come off easily. The cable from the mic to the eartips is also bad. The cables seem to tangle a lot. Didn't expect this as none of the reviewers mentioned wear and tear. My senheisser cx180 has seen worse and still doesn't have the wear and tear like this set. Sound is still good though but what's the use of it continues to wear at this rate, I will have to choose something else not even a year down the line.

TOO MANY FAKE REVIEWS, also some people all of a sudden jumping in and calling themselves "Sound Engineers" reviewing a 8000 rupees in-earphones, only raising suspicions which I failed to realise before buying this non refundable stuff! Sound output is powerless, Soundstage is just missing, and too high in 4 to 8 KHz making the sound appearing like a landline telephone earpiece, unless equalized heavily. Nowhere near the clariy of the big players. Bass output is commendable though controlled, short span but strong. 3 layers are making all ting ting zick zhak things audible but if the output quality is so ordinary (I guess because the speakers' quality are ordinary, nowhere comparing to the Geman / American or even Japanese Legendary cos), that does not make any big difference. At least I would not go beyond the Legends ever anytime next, for choosing speaker of any kind.

This pair of earphone has been my first high value earphone purchase by far. The performance however, would depend on how it is used. I've been using PoweAMP player to play music and FLAC files in particular. .mp3 or any other format do not bring out the best in them, they just do not do justice to this pair. It is also highly recommended that you download the "1MORE ASSISTANT" app from the Play Store/App Store to burn/run the drivers for atleast 12hrs for some amazing performance. What this necessarily does is burns the drivers to sound better; just like seasoning a new engine of a vehicle. The packaging is a treat and do make an unboxing video for memory sake ;) The package contains the earphone, eartips (both silicon and foam, I just love the foam ones), carry case and a clip. The only downside is you do not get the brand value that you would generally get with maybe a pair of UE or Shure buds, but the performance is at par with any of the earphones for the price. Would've loved to get one in the clear finish (shure users would know). It is a must buy if you are a hardcore music enthusiast and want some amazing lows and mids. The Bass is close to what I think would be extreme. I totally dig the partially-braided cables and the inline remote works well with both iOS and Android. FYI: It costs $100 in the US which is ~25% less.
