1More Triple Driver vs Samsung AKG Type-C

I want something that will have a good bass profile and overall sound quality, no muddy bass or piercing highs, and can hold a stable connection to iPhones/Apple products.

The best budget earbuds for small ears that we've tested are the Samsung AKG Type-C. These inexpensive earbuds have a comfortable fit that makes them suitable for long listening sessions. They have a solid, durable-feeling design and come with three differently-sized ear tips to help you get a good fit.

Orchestral tracks, like the opening scene in John Adams' The Gospel According to the Other Mary, sound phenomenal. You get the richness of the lower register instrumentation and the bright treble edge of the higher register strings, brass, and vocals perfectly complementing each other. The balance here is nearly perfect, with the bass response playing a supporting role without shrinking into the distance—you get a wonderful sense of the space the recording was made in, and ideal clarity throughout the entire frequency range.

These wired in-ears have a comfortable and lightweight design. Their slightly bass-heavy sound profile also delivers extra thump, rumble, and boom to audio, making them a solid choice if you like to listen to genres like EDM and hip-hop. Thanks to their in-line mic, it's easy to take calls on the go. It has a good recording quality, so your voice sounds clear and intelligible to the person on the other end of the line

and that is a problem. A $100 pair of IEM's isnt disposable. You should be able to fix them. No excuse for not being able to

My original ones are still working a year later and these lasted a couple weeks (bought because soon wanted my original ones). They do work good with volume control and are comfortable to wear. I cannot comment on microphone issues though as I had none.

Steve compared the Triple Driver with his favorite under $100 in-ear headphone, the FiiO EX1, and found the sound very different. While the earpieces of the two designs have a similar shape, the Triple Driver is finished to a higher standard and did a better job blocking external noise than the EX1.The EX1 is clearer and more transparent while but the Triple Driver's sound is richer and more textured. It was akin to listening to headphones plugged into a tube amplifier -- everything was just a little prettier and nicer sounding with the Triple Driver

Furthermore, I wear industrial ear muffs over them to keep the noise from around me out as these buds do not cancel out enough noise to do the job by themselves and I don't want to turn the volume up to compensate and risk damaging my ears. If you're an audiophile or looking for noise cancelling earbuds that work with a USB C port, these are not for you. But if you just need something for the occasional conference call and don't have to worry about background noise too much, then these will work. I give this product 3/5 stars

The connectivity is very spotty. Reviews call these are some of the best-sounding true wireless offerings, but I find that the highs sounds rather poor. My 1Mores blow them out of the water at less than half the price. I know there are differences from a wired set with the G8's DAC to Bluetooth, but cymbals are missing a LOT of detail on the high end with these

I haven't switched to the omni-present bluetooth buds since they lack the sound quality of the better corded models. I have a reasonably good ear having been a recording studio sideman guitarist in my youth. This is pretty good for most genres of music, though my Bose Noise-Cancelling buds have better audio - at many times the price. You really have to go over $100 to beat these ones

Just doing a side by side test based on comfort and audio clearness, my old (2015) iPhone earphones (that have been through the washing machine, oops) are better than these. I reached out to the seller, and based off the other reviews, there's a good chance that they will clear this up and I will get a pair of earphones worth the $60 price tag. In this case, I will update my review to reflect any new information. If not, then I will be quickly returning these (and awfully frustrated that I have to pay return shipping out of pocket for such a disappointing product)

Went to buy another for my son's pixel. Update: Dropping this to a 3 star since my original review, I purchased another pair of the same ones and its not the same quality. It looks the same, but when using it for calls on the phone or on zoom calls, the other end tells me I sound like a machine with lots of noise. Its a hit or miss for this price
