Setup & Observations

Getting going with the earphones is simple, all you do is connect them to a compatible device with a 3.5mm port, and they're ready to use. To make the most out of them they need to be paired with an Android device, this is because the Triple Driver has increased functionality with Android in comparison to iOS.


The two outer buttons on the inline controller act as the volume control, this feature is only supported by Android and won’t work on iOS. The central button controls the play/pause function, song selection, calling function and speech recognition. The song selection feature only works on Android, however, and is not supported on Apple devices. The buttons on the inline controller are nicely weighted and give off a good tactile click.

The Triple Driver has a great quality feel to them as a whole. The main housing is solid, and the tolerances in the construction are superb. The cable feels nice as well which is reassuring for long-term use. This is then further backed up by the core of the cable being reinforced with Kevlar fibre.

Multimedia

Giving the 1MORE Triple Driver the test treatment involved listening to multiple genres of music, during this testing we found that the Triple Driver provided an insightful and powerful sound. The bass frequency is rich and potent yet very clean while providing a smooth extension down to the lower frequencies. The treble is vibrant but never harsh or brash, it's also highly detailed with a solid soundstage that provides a good sense of space. Usually, earphones suffer from a compressed soundstage due to their inherent design, but the Triple Driver doesn’t suffer this fate. I will say that they still can’t match headphones for a real sense of space, but for earphones, the soundstage is unexpectedly broad and tall. Vocal production is very versatile, and the Triple Driver can deliver a powerful vocal whilst maintaining a great sense of realism.

Our testing continued via the consumption of movies and TV. The 1MORE Triple Driver again impressed. With their robust bass, they did a great job of conveying the power of gunshots and explosions all whilst preserving a great amount of information in the treble. Their surprising soundstage is again made apparent as the sense of space provided was solid. Finer details in the sound were present, and they didn’t leave much unexplored. However, as satisfying as these are, they still can’t match the movie-going experience provided by a set of good over-ear headphones.


The in-game experience offered by the Triple Driver was, mixed. For titles that don’t rely too much on spacial awareness - like casual games, the Triple Driver offers an immersive experience. The bass is plentiful, the detail and clarity are superb, and most of all the experience was enjoyable.

However, for titles that require heightened spatial awareness and clear comprehension of your surroundings, the 1MORE start to falter. We can’t place blame on the Triple Driver as they were never designed for gaming, but, if you are planning on playing eSports titles, we would then recommend that you opt for a dedicated headset.

Also if you are planning on using these for gaming on PC, be mindful that the cable is quite short, so you may require an extension if your PC is underneath your desk or a bit further away from where you are sat.

Microphone

The microphone that the Triple Driver uses is surprisingly impressive with good levels of detail and clarity. The proximity is quite close to your mouth, meaning that you don’t have to speak too loud in order for the microphone to pick up your voice. We would, however, say that it isn’t quite good enough to replace a dedicated microphone.
For more general in-game chat and voice calls, it's more than adequate.
