Have you watched in horror as the average price of high-end headphones has spiraled upwards? Prepare to be astounded! A new name, in the USA at least, 1MORE has come to the rescue. They do say they have sold 20 million units in three years in China. They now offer in the USA a pair of three-driver high quality in-ear headphone buds at an outstanding price that will not require you to take out a second mortgage on your home. “Aha”, we hear you murmur, “I can see the price tag, but will I be able to hear the value for money?” We share your skepticism: read on to find out what we discovered after using the 1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones (referred to as 1MORE Triples hereafter) over several weeks of intensive listening.

不知大家是否注意到目前高端耳机的市场均价都以螺旋式上涨？准备虎躯一震吧！最近美国有个新晋品牌——1MORE要来拯救你了！这个品牌3年间在中国已卖出了2000万条耳机。现在它在美国卖的这条三单元圈铁耳机，价格划算得惊人，让人毫不犹豫就入手了。“啊哈”，我听见你在叨叨叨了，“价格我是看到了，但听感、音质值这个价吗？”在频繁地听了几个礼拜1MORE三单元圈铁耳机（以下简称为“1MORE三单元”）之后，来看看我们的发现能不能打消你的疑虑。

Let us start at the beginning. The package arrived as an elegant book-form box with a magnetic latch. The earphones immediately caught our eye with their stylish form and color. Four smaller boxes were included within the package. Without disrespecting those YouTube unboxing videos you may have seen, we do not usually dwell on how the product is presented. This packaging was something remarkable. The four boxes held a minimalist gatefold instruction card, a neat carrying case, an additional connector and clip, and a pack of tips. The whole package is beautifully presented in the same way we have come to expect from our favorite computer manufacturer.

这就开始：耳机的外包装做成了磁吸的书本盒，耳机的时尚外观和颜色马上就吸引眼球，包装盒内有四个小盒子。无意冒犯YouTube上那些不带包装的耳机评测视频，我们都没注意到其实耳机展示方式也可以进行一番讲解。这款耳机的包装设计可圈可点，四个小盒子装着一份精炼的产品折页，简洁的便携盒，附送航空插头和线夹，一整盒耳塞套。整个包装设计，像我们心心念念的电脑产品那样呈现了产品的整体和细节。

To our amazement, an additional eight pairs of ear tip in two types and seven sizes is included! Those numbers are not a typos: you can count them for yourself in the top picture. At last, a manufacturer has not only acknowledged that it doesn’t matter how technically advanced earbud engineering and performance might be, if the buds don’t fit properly then all else is in vain, but has done something to address the issue. If you can’t find a fit from this range, you probably need to have a custom-made fitment manufactured by a qualified audiologist.

附赠8副耳塞套，耳塞套分为2种不同材质以及7种不同尺寸，太让人惊喜了！这不是我写错字，你可以照着图自己来数。看得出来，这个耳机品牌很清楚这一点：一条耳机无论在技术、性能方面如何牛X，但假如耳塞套不适配，其它就是空谈了，所以它在这个部分做到了。假如在这堆耳塞套中你还是找不到适配自己耳朵的，建议你去找听力专家定制耳塞套。

Some more attention to detail that impressed us was the quality of the cabling and retainers. They say that one never gets a second chance to make a first impression. We were trying to curb our enthusiasm at this point, fearful that our judgement for the all-important listening test might be affected.

有些细节值得我们注意：线材的质感和绕线器。人说“第一印象很重要”，话虽如此，却会在主观上影响对耳机试听的真实判断。

The headphones sounded so good right out of the box that we thought we had been bedazzled. Not so. After several weeks of intensive listening we were unable to find anything other than good things to say about the 1MORE Triples. That “we” is not a reviewing conceit. Several users were invited to try the headphones and all agreed that the listening experience was faultless. Anyone with an experience of the price of this level of equipment was astounded that such quality came at such a low price.

打开盒子听耳机，声音真不错，让我感觉有点“眼花缭乱”了。并非如此。经过几周频繁的试听，我们真的无法对1MORE三单元“鸡蛋里挑骨头”。刚才说的“我们”，不是我神经错乱，而是我邀请了几个小伙伴来试听耳机，他们都觉得听起来很好。任何一个人，只要是买过这个价位的播放设备的，都被这耳机的品质和低价给震住了！

If you are a technophile you can go to the 1MORE Triples webpage and check out the construction. Externally, the fit and finish was beyond criticism. The sound they produce is a testament to their advanced design and engineering internally with matching build quality.

假如你是一个“技术控”，你可以浏览1MORE三单元的网页，找到更多详细的产品参数信息。外观设计上，佩戴舒适性和制造工艺是很好的。音质表现上，1MORE实现了先进声学与内部结构设计上的匹配。

We invited an audiologist, Dr. Richard Luekenga, Au.D., CCC-A, F-AAA, from Hearing & Balance Doctors (hearingdoctors.net) to try the 1MORE Triples. Audiologists are generally more concerned with what is called the ‘speech banana’ and hearing loss, but Dr. Luekenga has an enthusiasm for listening to music, too. He also likes to listen while he exercises. Interestingly, he works with clients whose hearing is unimpaired, such as professional musicians who need hearing devices for enhancement and protection.

我们请来了听力平衡医学网（hearingdoctors.net）的听力专家Richard Luekenga博士、Au.D、CCC-A、F-AAA对耳机进行试听。通常来说，听力专家更在意的是语音分布图以及听力受损，但Luekenga博士也是一位音乐爱好者，喜欢在运动时听音乐。有趣的是，他与听力未受损的人打交道，比如一些需要用特定设备来增强或保护听力的专业音乐人

Dr. Luekenga and his assistant, Michael Reed, a certified Audiology Assistant, were impressed by the sound quality of the 1MORE Triples, comparing them favorably with the specialist items at three times the price that they use with bespoke ear moldings to make devices for stage and concert work. Both testers loved the fit. They especially the comfort level and ambient noise exclusion achieved with the foam buds. They also found them comfortable for extended periods when exercising.

参照专业标准，并与用于舞台、音乐会的定制级耳模价格进行了三次对比之后，Luekenga博士与助理Michael Reed（具有听力助理资质）都对1MORE三单元的表现印象深刻。他俩都很喜欢三单元耳机的舒适佩戴感，尤其喜欢泡棉耳塞套带来的舒适感和隔音效果。即使是运动时戴久了也很舒适。

We also conducted blind tests. This is the only way to achieve an objective assessment. Hearing itself is subjective enough, but if factors like brand name recognition, physical appearance, and price awareness in either direction, are allowed to intrude then the user responses become meaningless. The results were unequivocally consistent: the 1MORE Triples were always rated best in any price bracket.

我们也做了“盲听”测试，它是客观评估的唯一方法。听感原本就是主观的，但假如试听时，告知了你品牌认知度、耳机外观和价格其中任一因素，那么听感就会受影响而变得毫无意义。结果是，1MORE三单元表里如一，在任何价格区间内都做到最好。

How do these headphones rate when trying to punch above their weight against more expensive headphones? That’s when, even in blind testing, the subjective listening experience begins to take effect. The bad news is that if you just paid over $300 for some premium brand headphones then you may wish you had tried the 1MORE Triples before splashing out.

与高端、高价的耳机抗衡，它的性能表现如何呢？其实在盲测时，它在主观听感上就已经与高端耳机划等号了。另有一个“坏消息”：假如你花了三百多美元买了高端耳机，希望你在“乱花钱”之前就已经听过1MORE三单元耳机了，否则可能会悔断肠……

The 1MORE Triples were remarkably neutral across a range of sample tracks. When Debbie Harry sings, “Oh, you know her, ‘Miss Groupie Supreme’ / Yeah, you know her, ‘Vera Vogue’ on parade” in the song ’Rip Her to Shreds’ on Blondie’s 1976 eponymous first album, every word is clear, which many headphones struggle to accomplish. On the track ’Spanish Harlem’ by Rebecca Pidgeon from a Chesky audiophile compilation, every noise can be precisely located on the sound stage. In delicate piano pieces from ‘Beethoven-Five Piano Concertos’ played by Alfred Brendel, the notes drop like pebbles into a pellucid pool. That’s as far as we are prepared to go with the purple prose. The handling of a full-on symphony orchestra, checked with several versions of the ‘Brandenburg Concertos’, was equally satisfactory. Nothing seemed to be outside the capabilities of these earphones.在试听了不同风格的曲目后，1MORE三单元耳机的表现是相当均衡、稳定。当Debbie Harry唱着1976年首张同名专辑中的《Rip Her to Shreds’ on Blondie’s》：“Oh, you know her, ‘Miss Groupie Supreme’ / Yeah, you know her, ‘Vera Vogue’ on parade”，每一个吐字都如此清晰，这点上许多耳机的表现却差强人意。在发烧厂牌Chesky推出的Rebecca Pidgeon《Spanish Harlem》这首歌中，声场中的每个声音都定位精准。在Alfred Brendel演奏的《贝多芬5号协奏曲》优美的钢琴片段中，每一个音符像鹅卵石落进清澈的湖中，我能想象到的就是散文中华丽的辞藻。在大编制交响乐章的控制力上，采用多个版本《勃兰登堡协奏曲》进行试听，耳机表现令人相当满意。1MORE三单元耳机似乎统统都能驾驭。

The 1MORE Triples include an inline controller. It is iPhone compatible for calls in and out. It can also be used to switch tracks and manage volume for playing music on your mobile device. The only feature we can think to nitpick would be to have swappable cabling configurations for different environments, but at the asking price that would be asking too much.1MORE三单元圈铁耳机带有线控，可适配iPhone的通话功能，也可实现在移动设备上的选曲、音量调节功能。如果一定要挑毛病，在不同使用情景下无法换线这点有点遗憾，但以这个价格来要求就太过分了。

From muscular and robust sounds to slender and delicate sounds, the 1MORE Triples handled a wide range of audio with aplomb. Everybody hears things differently, but we are sure you will not be disappointed. Finally, as previously mentioned, there is that price: $99.99 is astounding and might be expected to shake up the whole market sector.无论是结实有力的低音，还是纤细优雅的细节，1MORE三单元耳机轻松驾驭声音的动态范围。每个人听感不同，但能确信的是它一定不会让你失望。像前面提到的，它的价格是令人尖叫的99.99美元，势必给整个耳机市场带来冲击。

Editor’s Note: 1More also makes very good Dual Driver In-Ear Headphones that sell for $69.99 in the USA. We tested them in addition to the 1More Triples that Ian praised above. For a $30 difference, we recommend that budget-wise listeners pay for the superior Triples. They have no equal in this price range.

编辑推荐：1MORE也在美国推出了表现出色的双单元入耳式耳机，单价69.99美元。在Ian大力称赞了1MORE的三单元圈铁耳机之后，我们也试听了它的双单元耳机。两者之间相差30美元，我们为聪明的您力荐这款旗舰三单元耳机。
