METICULOUS DESIGN

In terms of sound making components, most quad-driver in-ear headphones use balanced armatures exclusively. The 1MORE Quad Driver took a unique design approach in this respect and incorporated a diamond-like carbon dynamic driver with extra deep bass extension. The Shure SE846 and Westone W40 only use balanced armatures which often have difficulty reproducing bass the same way a larger dynamic driver does despite their frequency response. 

In the exploded view above you can see the 1MORE design with a dynamic driver and three balanced armatures, each acting like individual speakers tuned to specific frequencies.

THE BEST OF BOTH SCIENCE AND SOUL

Another feature that sets the Quad Drivers In-Ear headphones apart from the Westone and Shure is the frequency response. The Quad Drivers have a sound extension that goes up to 40kHz and is the only in-ear headphone in the group that is Hi-Res certified. With a single armature specifically dedicated to transience, an acoustic quality that creates a soulful sense of realism, the 1MORE Quad Driver In-Ear headphones are likely to have you hearing musical elements you've never noticed before. The high-end frequency response give the 1MORE Quad Driver In-Ear headphones a clear advantage with the playback of premium, hi-res, DSD and lossless audio playback files. But sound is more than numbers and graphs - it's about soul. Each 1MORE product is custom tuned by Grammy award-winning sound engineer, Luca Bignardi for a flat response with the perfect amount of sparkle where you want it. 

SUPERIOR PHONE CALL QUALITY

If you're like most people, you use your phone a ton. 1MORE included their superior quality MEMs microphone and iOS and Android compatible controls in the Quad Driver In-Ear cable, so you can control tracks from your favorite music service and experience crystal clear calls too. Both the Shure and Westone do not include a mic or controls for cellular phone use.
