What reviewers said
1MORE H1023
These wired in-ear headphones combine a dynamic driver with dual balanced armatures for a rich, detailed sound that excels at its price point. The build feels premium and the included accessories are generous, making them a strong choice for budget-conscious audiophiles. Their main limitation is a narrow soundstage typical of in-ear designs, but overall they deliver performance that rivals more expensive models.
- Pro:Excellent sound quality for the price
- Pro:Premium build and design
- Pro:Generous accessory bundle
- Con:Limited soundstage due to in-ear fit
- Con:No noise cancellation
- Con:Wired only, no wireless option
Audio-Technica ATH-ANC23BK
These wired in-ear headphones from Audio-Technica offer active noise cancellation with a surprisingly long battery life of up to 60 hours from a single AAA battery. They deliver a balanced, neutral sound profile that outperforms many budget competitors, though the noise reduction is modest and the cord-mounted control module is quite bulky. Overall, they're a solid value for the price, but not the best choice for heavy noise environments or extended wear.
- Pro:Very long battery life (60 hours) from one AAA battery
- Pro:Neutral, well-balanced sound for the price
- Pro:Good value in the affordable noise-cancelling category
- Con:Noise cancellation is only fair, not effective in busy offices
- Con:Bulky cord-mounted module can feel intrusive
- Con:Not ideal for long listening sessions due to comfort issues
