What reviewers said

1MORE H1037

This wired in-ear model combines a dynamic driver with two balanced armatures to produce a warm, detailed sound with robust bass and natural mids. Its sturdy construction and comfortable fit make it suitable for daily use, though its soundstage is somewhat limited. At around sixty dollars, it offers impressive performance for critical listening and includes a generous accessory package.

  • Pro:Warm, detailed audio with strong bass
  • Pro:Sturdy build quality
  • Pro:Comfortable and stable fit
  • Con:Limited soundstage
  • Con:No noise cancellation
  • Con:Wired only, requires device with headphone jack or dongle

KZ PR1 Hi-Fi Edition

The KZ PR1 Hi-Fi Edition is a budget-friendly planar in-ear monitor that delivers a fast, detailed, and airy sound with a notably wide soundstage and strong imaging for its price. While its energetic tuning and clean bass are impressive, the response can be polarizing due to a somewhat uneven midrange and a less-refined cable, making it a solid choice for those who prioritize clarity over smoothness. Overall, it punches above its weight class for detail-oriented listeners, but it may not suit those seeking a relaxed or warm signature.

  • Pro:Excellent detail retrieval and speed
  • Pro:Wide, open soundstage with good imaging
  • Pro:Clean, punchy planar bass
  • Con:Tuning is not universally appealing
  • Con:Midrange can sound uneven or cluttered
  • Con:Stock cable is underwhelming
