Our Verdict
The 1More Triple Driver have a balanced sound but lack soundstage due to their design. This makes them a good pair of headphones as they reproduce tracks with an above-average fidelity, on par with much more expensive in-ear models. However, for more neutral listeners, they may not be ideal because they lack the ambiance that large, open headphones provide.
- Good audio reproduction.
- Lightweight, ultra-portable design.
- Low leakage.
- Mediocre noise isolation for an in-ear.
- Poor Soundstage.
Above-average for commuting. They're very portable and have a good control scheme, but they do not isolate well enough for the loud environments involved in commuting via public transit.
- Good audio reproduction.
- Lightweight, ultra-portable design.
- Low leakage.
- Mediocre noise isolation for an in-ear.
- Poor Soundstage.
Good for sports use. They have a decently stable in-ear fit with many varying tip sizes. They're also quite easy to carry on your person at all times and have a good control scheme. However, the cable may get hooked on something and yank the headphones out of your ears. Also, their in-ear design might not be as comfortable for everyone.
- Good audio reproduction.
- Lightweight, ultra-portable design.
- Low leakage.
- Mediocre noise isolation for an in-ear.
- Poor Soundstage.
Average for office use. They barely leak so can have your music playing at high volumes and not distract your colleagues. However, they do not block ambient noise well so they won't be most suitable headphones if you have a very lively or noisy office.
- Good audio reproduction.
- Lightweight, ultra-portable design.
- Low leakage.
- Mediocre noise isolation for an in-ear.
- Poor Soundstage.
Average for gaming. The 1More Triple Driver have a wired connection, so they have negligible latency which is suitable for gaming. They also have a decent microphone that's compatible with consoles and PCs and a well-balanced sound. Unfortunately, they lack a good app to customize their sound profile, like most gaming headsets, and the in-ear fit may not be as comfortable for all listeners especially for long gaming sessions.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The 1More Triple Driver are one of the better performing wired in-ears that we've tested so far. They have a good audio reproduction, a compact design and a surprisingly sturdy build quality for their price range. They outperform some of the more expensive in-ear headphones on the market, and they're a good wired option for most use cases but won't be as convenient as some of the other wireless and truly wireless headphones available. See our recommendations for the best closed-back headphones and the best wired headphones.
The 1More Triple Driver are better headphones than the 1More Quad Driver. The Triple Driver are slightly more comfortable for long listening sessions and their sound quality is better. The Triple Driver block more ambient noise, which makes them a bit more versatile for commuting as well. On the other hand, the Quad Driver feels better-built than the Triple Driver. Also, the Quad Driver perform worse in most of our tests despite being more expensive. Ultimately, the Quad Driver won’t offer as great a value as the Triple Driver.
The 1More Triple Driver headphones are slightly better than the KZ AS10. The 1More have more accurate audio reproduction and also have an in-line remote with volume control. The mic version of the KZ doesn’t even have this feature. On the other hand, the KZ look better and have more durable build quality, especially with the braided and replaceable cable. The KZ look and feel more premium than the 1More.
The MOONDROP Aria are better headphones for neutral sound than the 1More Triple Driver. The MOONDROP are more comfortable, feel better built, and have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. On the other hand, the 1More come with an in-line mic by default, meaning you can take calls on the go.
The 1More Triple Driver and the MOONDROP KATO have different strengths, and you may prefer either one. The 1More are more casual use headphones with a microphone so you can take calls on the go, have more consistent audio delivery, and can block out a bit more background noise. However, the MOONDROP are in-ear monitors designed for neutral sound. They're more comfortable, better-built, and have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer.
