What reviewers said
1MORE H1707
The 1MORE H1707 is a wired over-ear headphone that uses a hybrid triple-driver setup—a 40mm titanium dynamic driver, ceramic tweeter, and passive bass radiator—to deliver a lively, punchy sound. It's lightweight, comfortable, and easy to drive from phones or laptops thanks to its 32-ohm impedance and high sensitivity, making it a strong budget option for everyday listening. However, its midrange can come across as slightly cool, so pairing it with warmer gear may be necessary for some listeners.
- Pro:Comfortable and lightweight build
- Pro:Punchy bass with lively, detailed sound
- Pro:Easy to drive from portable devices
- Con:Mids can sound cool or recessed
- Con:Requires careful source matching
- Con:No wireless or ANC features
