1Mii E700

82 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews

The 1Mii ML300 headphones deliver impressive sound quality, especially when using LDAC or aptX HD codecs, with deep bass and clear mids and highs. Users praise the comfortable fit, effective noise cancellation, and intuitive app-based EQ, though some note finicky pairing, small controls, and a design flaw where ANC disables custom EQ. Overall, they offer excellent value for audiophiles on a budget, but may not suit glasses wearers or those needing wired operation.

Pros
  • Excellent sound quality with LDAC/aptX HD
  • Comfortable fit for long listening sessions
  • Effective active noise cancellation
  • Intuitive app with customizable EQ
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • ANC disables custom EQ settings
  • Small and finicky control buttons
  • No wired operation via USB/aux
  • Unclear instructions and small controls
  • Pressure on glasses after extended use
