What reviewers said

1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro

The 1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro is a comfortable neckband-style earphone that combines hybrid active noise cancellation with a dual-driver setup for balanced, warm sound. It offers solid battery life, LDAC support, and an IPX5 rating, making it a feature-rich choice at an affordable price. While ANC is effective for low-frequency noise, higher-pitched sounds may still pass through.

  • Pro:Strong hybrid ANC for the price
  • Pro:Warm, balanced tuning with dual drivers
  • Pro:Good battery life, especially with ANC off
  • Con:ANC lets some high-frequency noise through
  • Con:Sound signature shifts when ANC is toggled
  • Con:No multipoint connection

Mpow 025C

The Mpow 025C is an affordable neckband-style headphone that offers a lightweight, portable design and the flexibility of both wireless and wired listening. It prioritizes convenience for calls with cVc 6.0 noise reduction for the single microphone, but its sound quality and build are basic, reflecting its budget price. With roughly 13 hours of battery life, it's a serviceable backup option rather than a primary audio device.

  • Pro:Very lightweight at 34g for easy portability
  • Pro:Long 13-hour battery life for a budget neckband
  • Pro:Built-in cVc 6.0 reduces background noise during calls
  • Con:Lacks active noise cancellation or any water resistance
  • Con:Sound quality is only average for the price
  • Con:Plastic build feels less durable
