? 1MORE PistonBuds True Wireless In-Ear Headphones, the newest TWS from 1MORE.

The 1MORE PistonBuds are part of the budget-friendly series of the brand; in fact, 1MORE fans will notice the “Piston” name, a series from the brand that has been covering superb bang for buck models for many years already.





The 1MORE PistonBuds features touch sensitive back plates, an IPX4 waterproof rating, Bluetooth 5.0, AAC + SBC compatibility and 4 ENC microphones with Deep Neural Network algorithm for phone calls.

Inside each earpiece, the PistonBuds carry 7mm dynamic drivers and a battery life of 3.5 hours per charge; while the case can top-up the battery life up to 20 hours with it’s internal 535mAh battery.

To charge the unit it is needed 1.5 hours for the earbuds and 2 hours for the case through it’s USB Type-C connection – with a 5V 1A USB charger.

The case has a similar form factor with the case of the flagship 1MORE True Wireless ANC In-Ear Headphones with an elongated pill-alike shape and a taller profile than many TWS cases on the market. In comparison to the latter, the build material of the case is plastic instead of metal and no rubberized bottom is found.

The 1MORE PistonBuds are also be found as 1MORE ECS3001T.

Users can buy the 1MORE PistonBuds True Wireless In-Ear Headphones in either black or white color.

B

Bass & Sub Bass

With a friendly price and being launched in the entry-level range of the TWS catalog, the 1MORE PistonBuds are clearly aimed to users on a tight budget and to the general consumer public.

Indeed, the bass tuning of the 1MORE PistonBuds ticks all the boxes for the targeted market, with a strong bass response that sounds fun that adds a pumping feel to every track.

This TWS will provide plenty mid-bass punch for any kind of music genre while sub-bass can achieve a deep response with a balanced boost as to offer a full sounding experience without drowning the whole sound.

With an EQ, the whole bass response of the PistonBuds can be pushed into a massively deeper and way punchier sound but considering that this might also unleash a very bass-centered sound profile.

M

Mids & Vocals

The 1MORE PistonBuds True Wireless In-Ear Headphones midrange has a very warm profile and a cozy feel overall that extends from lower mids to vocals.

Many times, this kind of low midrange tuning can easily show an overstepping mid-bass bleed that adds a strong layer of congestion to the low end of the midrange; instead, the lower midrange and male vocals of the 1MORE PistonBuds exhibit a full and well-rounded sound that, yet, does not become distant nor excessively congested.

When looking at the mid and upper range of the mids, this TWS is able to provide a sufficiently crisp sound while, always, keeping it’s sound smooth and perfectly free of harshness.

Consequently, female vocals inherit the same excellent qualities as the aforementioned ranges, with an enjoyable and never disturbing sound.

A well-crafted custom EQ can, efficiently, fine tune the midrange of the PistonBuds adding a cleaner and clearer vocals response without losing it’s smoothness.

H

Highs & Treble

As expected with the tuning style of it’s bass and midrange exhibited so far, the highs and treble ranges of the 1MORE PistonBuds have a darkish tint and would not qualify as an award-winning option regarding detail retrieval.

In spite of this, the brand has a done a very good job keeping the highs and overall sound signature coherently tuned to provide a fun and rich sound with complete absence of piercing peaks and fairly smooth sibilance.

Consequently, the 1MORE PistonBuds True Wireless In-Ear Headphones will be an excellent option for users who prefer a non-fatiguing sound and long lasting music sessions over analytical sound signatures.

Using an EQ, users will be able to boost some brightness and add a bit of detail to the highs of the PistonBuds with no major cons.

SI

Sound Isolation

The 1MORE PistonBuds fit deep and snuggly inside the ears allowing an excellent seal that translates in a much stronger isolation from noises than most normal headphones and even than some ANC headphones – despite not having ANC tech.

Reaching absolute isolation will be quite easy when listening to music.

C

Comfort

As mentioned in the section above, the 1MORE PistonBuds provide a very tight fit, yet the rounded shapes and lack of sharp edges combined with the light weight of the earpieces (4.2 grams), allow this TWS earphones to offer an outstanding level of comfort and long lasting pain-free experience.

In addition to this, the earpieces have a relatively small size and sit flush with the ears (without considering the elongated ends)

Response to Equalization

The 1MORE PistonBuds True Wireless In-Ear Headphones showed a very responsive personality to lower and mid frequencies equalization with solid retuning potential while their upper end exhibited a somewhat lower efficiency.
