1MORE ComfoBuds Pro True Wireless Headphones Review

A Closer Look & Performance

These headphones actually come with one of the largest docks I’ve seen. It’s still quite slender and the smooth edges make it comfortable to hold or store in your pocket. However, it’s longer to deal with the length of the earbuds, but also provides room for a larger battery too (450 mAh).

It’s got a magnetic lid on it, and the colour looks amazing too. It comes in black or white editions, but honestly, I can’t imagine they look as nice as the blue one.

Tucked into the rear, you’ll find the USB C charging port. The cable is included, but honestly, you should be able to use any Type C cable you’ve got lying around.

Flip open the lid, and you’ll find those lovely headphones in a matching blue. There are some protective covers on them when they’re new, so remember to remove those, obviously.

The dock its self is quite nice. While perhaps a little longer than most, it’s not encumbering. It uses magnetic mounts too, so the headphones snap into their sockets easily.

As for the headphones themselves, they’re actually pretty gorgeous and that blue looks even better on these than the dock! They looked a little large, but their size is similar to AirPods, but at just 5.2 grams each, they’re a touch lighter than the AirPods 5.4g.

The headphones have 50 mAh batteries, which means they’re good for up to 6 hours of usage on a single charge, which is actually super impressive, many wireless headphones in this price range are 2-3 hours at best. You’ll get another 20 hours total use before you need to recharge the dock too.

While the headphones can fully charge from flat in around an hour, it’s their fast charging that makes them the most versatile. A mere 15 minutes in the charging dock will give you an additional two hours of usage, making them awesome for long journeys.

Another welcome feature is the autoplay/pause feature. There are some infrared sensors that will pause your music when you take a headphone out of your ear and resume when you put it back. Handy if you’re enjoying your music and your friend keeps asking you endless questions. This feature can be disabled in the app though.

There are six microphones built-in, three on each earbud. They’re designed to provide some surprisingly advanced ANC, as well as provide input for making phone calls. On the former, you have two modes built-in, one is strong ANC, and it worked exceptionally well, while the other is a listen-through mode so you can hear people talking or traffic, while still enjoying louder music, and that works great too! Some variations on these are available via the free app.

The sound is big, really big! Those powerful drivers really pack a wallop with a lot of bass, detailed mids and clear highs. They’re quite loud when you need them to be, but overall, they just have a great sound that really puts the wow into whatever music you’re playing. However, there’s a lot of customisation too, with a powerful range of EQ settings to choose from. Acoustic, Bass Booster, Bass Reducer, Classical, Deep, Electronic, Hip-Hop, Loud, Lounge, Podcast, Pop, Vocal Booster, etc, etc. However, you need the app to apply them, but the settings stick to the headphones, so you won’t need the app next time unless you need to make a change.

The fit and finish are great, they’re light, feel very comfortable, and lock into your ear nicely.

There are three sizes of silicone heads in the box, so tinker with them until you find the one that suits you best. For me, it turned out to be the pre-installed ones, so I basically wasted five minutes of my life.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
