Bose earbuds tested against 1More model

The Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds were included in a comparison test by the French tech review site Numeriques, which also evaluated the 1More Triple Driver priced at 95.30 euros. The Bose earbuds, available for 99.95 euros, are presented as a competitor to the 1More model, which is noted for its strong value for money.

Bose earbuds' features and usability

The Bose earbuds are praised for their ease of use, including no need for battery recharging, a practical remote control, and minimal latency. They also include noise reduction, durability, and voice capture in noisy environments, though their comfort is considered improvable.

Limitations of Bose ANC and sound quality

The active noise cancellation (ANC) in the Bose earbuds is noted to struggle with reducing voices and high frequencies. In terms of sound, the earbuds offer deep bass and good dynamics, but the emphasis on upper-midrange and high frequencies is said to unbalance the sound reproduction beyond 70% of the volume.

ANC as a benefit for wired users

While the ANC is seen as a benefit for users who prefer wired earbuds, the Bose earbuds are considered difficult to justify their price compared to some more affordable wireless models. The ANC feature may appeal to those who prioritize noise cancellation without switching to wireless technology.

1More Triple Driver's strengths

The 1More Triple Driver is highlighted for its excellent quality/price ratio, reliable construction, beautiful and robust materials, complete accessories and controls (compatible with iOS and Android), excellent comfort, and very good sound reproduction quality. It is considered a strong contender in the wired earbud market.

1More Triple Driver's minor drawbacks

However, the 1More Triple Driver is noted for slightly shrill midranges and an uncoupled mini-jack, which could be a concern for some users looking for perfect audio performance and seamless connectivity.
