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

ASTRO Gaming A50 (Gen 3)

The ASTRO Gaming A50 (Gen 3) is a premium wireless headset designed for immersive gaming, delivering crisp virtual surround sound and a comfortable over-ear fit. Its standout feature is the convenient charging base, which also acts as a hub for connectivity, though the detachable microphone and software experience are less impressive than the hardware itself.

  • Pro:Comfortable for long gaming sessions
  • Pro:Convenient charging base and dock
  • Con:Microphone quality is only average
  • Con:Companion software is clunky
  • Con:No Bluetooth or multipoint support
