1More Triple Driver
Etymotic Research HF5
The 1More Triple Driver are better critical listening headphones than the Etymotic Research HF5. The 1More are more comfortable and have a better-balanced sound quality that does not sound as forward and harsh with instruments and vocals. The 1More have better bass than the Etymotics. and have a slightly more durable look and feel with braided audio cables and denser metal buds. On the other hand, the Etymotic isolate much better passively than the 1More, so they're a better choice for loud, noisy environments. The Etymotic also have a lighter design that some may prefer, although the lack of inline controls makes them slightly less practical on the go.
