Triple Driver In-Ear E1001-SV

The 1MORE Triple Driver delivers sound quality in the 97th percentile, which is outstanding for a wired earphone at this price. But build quality sits at the 34th percentile and comfort at the 28th, so you're trading durability and fit for audio excellence. If pure sound is your priority and you don't mind a wire, these are a steal at $80 or EUR 78.

Let's talk about that 97th percentile sound score, because it's the whole reason these exist. The hybrid driver setup is doing real work here: two balanced armatures handle the highs and mids while a separate dynamic driver pushes the low end. The spec sheet backs this up with a 20Hz to 40kHz frequency range and 32Ω impedance, which means you'll want a decent source to drive them properly. Your phone's headphone jack will work, but a dedicated DAC or a good laptop output will let these stretch their legs. The dual PET layers on the dynamic driver are supposed to improve bass response time, and based on the sound ranking, that's not just marketing talk.

The mic sits at the 68th percentile, which is solidly middle of the pack. It has noise cancellation for calls, but don't expect miracles. The in-line controls work fine for music and volume, and the gold-plated 3.5mm connector keeps the signal clean. But here's the thing: connectivity lands at the 45th percentile, which for a wired earphone mostly reflects the lack of wireless options rather than any actual connection quality issue. You're tethered, and that's the deal.

Stacked against the competition, the 1MORE Triple Driver is playing a different game entirely. The Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation, Nothing Buds 2, Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro, Soundcore P31i, and Sony WF-C700N are all wireless with ANC and modern features. The 1MORE beats them on pure sound quality, that 97th percentile ranking is the kind of number those wireless buds can't touch at this price. But every single one of those competitors destroys the 1MORE on comfort, build, and convenience. The Sony WF-C700N and Soundcore P31i are both budget-friendly wireless options that you can actually take to the gym, something the 1MORE's 20.2 fitness score rules out completely. If you want the best audio per dollar and don't mind a wire, the 1MORE wins. If you want anything else, look elsewhere.

Pricing is a bit of a mixed bag depending on where you shop. In the US you're looking at $80, while European buyers see a spread from EUR 78 to EUR 95 across four listings in Germany, Spain, France, and Italy. That EUR 17 gap is worth paying attention to, and the EUR 78 listing is clearly the one to hunt down if you're in the EU. Canadian buyers get a straightforward CAD 90, and the UK sits at GBP 75. For a THX-certified triple driver earphone, even the higher end of that European range feels reasonable when you consider that the sound quality is in the 97th percentile. You're essentially paying for audio performance and accepting compromises everywhere else.

The 1MORE Triple Driver sits in the 97th percentile for sound in our database, which is the kind of ranking that makes you sit up and pay attention. For a wired in-ear at this price, that's genuinely rare. You're getting a hybrid setup with two balanced armatures and a dynamic driver, THX certification, and a frequency response that stretches from 20Hz up to 40kHz. On paper, this is an audiophile's budget dream. But the numbers also tell a less flattering story elsewhere: build quality lands in the 34th percentile, comfort in the 28th, and social proof is nearly nonexistent at the 10th percentile. So you're buying sound first and everything else second.

And honestly, that's the right way to think about these. The music score of 42.2 out of 100 might look low in absolute terms, but remember that's against every product type in our database, including full-size headphones and wireless buds with ANC. For a wired earphone focused purely on audio fidelity, the 97th percentile sound ranking is the number that matters. The question is whether you can live with the trade-offs that come with it.

Skip these if you need headphones that can handle daily life. The build quality sits in the 34th percentile, which means durability is a real concern, and the comfort ranking of 28th percentile suggests the fit won't work for everyone. The fitness score of 20.2 out of 100 makes them a non-starter for workouts. And if you rely on wireless connectivity, the 45th percentile connectivity ranking is a reminder that these are strictly wired. Anyone who wants an all-purpose pair of earbuds should look at the wireless competitors instead.

The 1MORE Triple Driver is a specialist, not an all-rounder. That 97th percentile sound ranking is the headline, and for $80 or EUR 78, it's a genuinely impressive audio experience. But the 34th percentile build quality and 28th percentile comfort mean you're making real sacrifices. If you're someone who sits down, plugs in, and focuses on music, these are an easy recommendation. If you want something to wear all day or take to the gym, the 20.2 fitness score should send you running in the other direction.
