What reviewers said
1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro
This wireless neckband-style earphone combines a 13.6mm dynamic driver with a balanced armature for a detailed, warm-leaning sound. It offers hybrid noise cancellation, LDAC support, and quick USB-C charging, making it a feature-rich choice for its price. While the ANC is decent, it isn't the strongest on the market, and sound signature shifts when the feature is engaged.

- Pro:Solid battery life with fast charging capability
- Pro:LDAC support for high-resolution wireless playback
- Con:Active noise cancellation is only moderate, not class-leading
