What reviewers said
1MORE H1006
The 1MORE H1006 is a wired over-ear headphone with a robust metal build and a bass-forward, V-shaped sound profile that suits gaming and music. It packs active noise cancellation, virtual 7.1 surround, and head tracking, while remaining easy to drive thanks to its 32-ohm impedance. However, comfort is compromised by a tight headband and smaller earcups that can trap heat, and its soundstage is limited by the closed-back design.
- Pro:Solid all-metal construction
- Pro:Easy to drive with low impedance
- Pro:Effective active noise cancellation
- Con:Earcups run warm and feel small
- Con:Headband padding is insufficient
- Con:Soundstage feels restricted
