The company may not be a household name, but 1More proved that it was worth keeping an eye on with its Triple Driver in-ears, which offered sizzling sound for just $100. At CES this year, 1More announced what promises to be a bigger, better follow-up called the Quad Driver in-ears, which it recently said will begin shipping in the first week of April.

Like the Triple Driver in-ears, the Quad Driver features a sleek metal exterior, which adds a more stylish touch than the usual utilitarian look associated with in-ear monitors. This premium feel doesn’t end with the look, as multiple replacement ear tips and a carrying case to keep the in-ears safe while you’re on the move are also part of the package.

As the name implies, the Quad Driver in-ears feature one more driver than the Triple Driver. While the Triple use a dynamic driver to handle the low end and two balanced armature drivers to handle the upper parts of the frequency range, the Quad Driver adds another balanced armature driver. This should make for more nuanced midrange and high frequencies, as well as improved bass since the dynamic driver can be used solely for the lows.

We had a chance to try the Quad Driver in-ears for ourselves at CES earlier this year in Las Vegas, and while trying out headphones on a cacophonous show floor is less than ideal, we were impressed by what we heard. Like the Triple Driver, the Quad Driver in-ears offered crisp, clear sound, but with an expanded soundstage and more powerful bass.

While the 1More Quad Driver in-ears won’t be available until next month, you can pre-order them now for $200 from the company’s website. In the meantime, for a better idea of what to expect, take a look at our initial impressions of how the Quad Driver in-ears sound.

1More’s $95 ComfoBuds Pro are the latest AirPods Pro alternative
1More ComfoBuds Pro

If you've been considering buying Apple's AirPods Pro, but have remained hesitant because of their relatively high price, 1More has a possible solution. Its ComfoBuds Pro true wireless earbuds provide a virtually identical feature set for $95 -- that's $154 less than the AirPods Pro's regular $249 price.

Available in a satin-finish black or matte white, the ComfoBuds Pro use the same elongated stem shape as the original ComfoBuds, which debuted earlier this year, but they provide a better seal with your ear canal thanks to the use of silicone eartips. But their key feature is hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC), which makes them an interesting alternative to the much pricier AirPods Pro.
