You might not know 1More, but if you’re in the market for affordable headphones and earbuds with decent sound, we recommend getting familiar with the brand. With notable pairs of well-performing headphones in its lineup including the Sonoflow headphones, a staunch member on our list of the best headphones, 1More offers audio tech with quality sound and ANC without breaking the bank.
While 1More caters to all preferences, whether it be open-ear buds to over-ear cans and wired earphones, its two newest products, the Q10 and Q20 true wireless earbuds, are cheap even by their standards. Retailing for AU$29.99 and AU$39.99 respectively, if you’re looking for no-fuss cheap earbuds with good sound, battery and ANC, they’re firmly what you could call a solid purchase. Right now you can score an extra 20% discount with a Amazon coupon that makes them even more enticing.
While being the cheaper choice is always a nice bow in the cap, our pick is the 1More Q20 wireless earbuds because of their ANC functionality. Both earbuds offer Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, dual microphones to improve clarity on calls and IPX4 waterproof ratings, but that’s where the similarities stop.
Their designs are different, with the Q10 similar to that of the 2nd gen AirPods, while the Q20’s snugger in-ear fit looks more akin to the AirPods Pro and bass lovers may want to go for the Q10 thanks to their 13mm dynamic drive to the Q20’s 10mm. But, if you want to block outside noise and focus on your listening or work then the choice is clear – especially when you add a longer battery for only a few extra dollars.
We doubt these will be entering our list of the best earbuds any time soon, but we said in our 1More Sonoflow review, that 1More’s tech is “proof that you can get a great pair of wireless headphones capable of ticking most of the boxes”, and these two new buds are further evidence of that. At 20% off their regular price, they’re a great pick-up even as a secondary pair.
