What reviewers said

1MORE Piston Fit

The 1MORE Piston Fit is an ultra-budget wireless earphone that delivers a lively, bass-forward sound for its price, though it falls short of neutral or refined tuning. With Bluetooth 5.0, an IPX4 rating, and a lightweight 14g build, it covers practical basics for casual listening, but its 8-hour battery and SBC-only support keep it firmly in entry-level territory. Overall, it's a decent value pick for those prioritizing affordability and a fun sound signature over accuracy or premium features.

  • Pro:Very affordable price point
  • Pro:Punchy, energetic bass response
  • Pro:Lightweight and comfortable in-ear fit
  • Con:Muddy midrange and sharp treble
  • Con:Battery life is only average at 8 hours
  • Con:No support for advanced codecs like AAC or aptX

Moondrop JIU

The Moondrop JIU is an affordable wired USB-C earphone that delivers surprisingly polished sound for its price, with a well-tuned dynamic driver and a DSP microphone for calls. It's a sensible pick for casual listeners who value simplicity, though its non-detachable cable and occasionally bright treble may deter some. Overall, it offers solid value within the still-narrow field of DSP-equipped budget IEMs.

  • Pro:Excellent tuning for the price
  • Pro:Good technical performance for a budget model
  • Pro:USB-C connectivity with DSP mic for clear calls
  • Con:Treble can be overly bright for some
  • Con:Fixed cable cannot be replaced
  • Con:Not an elite technical performer
