1MORE PistonBuds Pro Review

Peter Donnell / 2 years ago

1More is one of the hottest headphone brands on the market today, with a range that spans some extremely competitive affordable models to audiophile-grade enthusiast models for those with deeper pockets and a taste for high-end hardware. While the PistonBuds are closer to the affordable side of the scale, they’re still around $70, so not exactly loose change. However, the level of features they offer for that price range is extremely enticing.

PistonBuds Pro

For your modest investment, the PistonBuds Pro promise their latest QuietMax active noise cancellation technology, which includes multiple levels of ANC, and a handy listen-through mode so you can hear your surroundings more, not less. There’s also their in-house designed and tuned 10mm dynamic driver, which comes complete with 12 EQ profiles and Sonarworks, so you should easily get a sound that suits your taste. There’s a low-latency gaming mode, decent battery life, IPX5 water resistance, and of course, they’re completely wireless with Bluetooth 5.2.
