Our Verdict
Anker SoundBuds Curve Wireless
1More Piston Fit
The Anker SoundBuds Curve 2017 are way better headphones than the 1More Piston Fit. The Anker are more comfortable, better built, have great audio reproduction, and shouldn't have any stereo image issues. The 1More are wired, so they don't have latency issues like the Anker, have a better in-line microphone, and you won't have to worry about battery life. This shouldn't outweigh the better sound and comfort of the Anker. Even if the Anker are a bit more expensive, they provide a better value to performance overall.
