Here we have the 1MORE ComfoBuds. It’s a really compact pair of TWS earbuds – but there are some quirks here and here. I’ve been using it for quite a long time now, and in today’s video, let’s take a look at what this pair of TWS has to offer instead.
But is it any good? Let’s find out today.
Firstly, the box itself. It highlights a few key points about the 1MORE ComfoBuds – for example, the “semi in-ear for total comfort” here is foretelling of how the ComfoBuds fit in the ears – and if that isn’t enough, there’s a big image of how the buds themselves look – printed right on the box itself.
Opening up, we are greeted with the 1MORE ComfoBuds itself – alongside with a message on how to remove the buds from the case. But why?
Well, let’s first take a look at the case itself first. The 1MORE ComfoBuds has a supremely small body with a glossy plastic finish. Now, for my big hands – it’s a problem. It’s difficult to get a grip on the case and to open it – plus its glossy plastic finish makes it very slippery on my hands.
And once we opened the case, ah – this is why there is a guide on how to remove the earbuds from the case. And while the guide works – just pull the earbud tip towards you. In my opinion, that’s dangerous and delicate as the earbuds can just fall out and fly towards the ground.
Also, the case lid doesn’t open wide enough for my fingers to get in and take out. Yet the lid doesn’t lock itself in place. It’ll close if you tilt it slightly downwards.
The buds are quite slim and have a rather pointy tip at the bottom, which also has an LED to indicate its status.
Moving up, there’s also a touch-sensitive area with pretty minimal functionalities. But it only supports 2 gestures yet the touchpad is placed at an awkward position.
Since it is a semi in-ear design, it sits in your ear similar to the Apple AirPods. This is why I don’t understand why the 1MORE ComfoBuds has an eartip. Perhaps it is to align the angle of the tip more directly into the ear canal?
Okay, so wearing the 1MORE ComfoBuds is actually a tricky thing to do. Sure, it’s easy to put on the ear but it’s rather difficult to make it aim nicely into the ear canal for maximum sound quality. Yes, how you put and position the 1MORE ComfoBuds in your ears will affect the sound quality.
Speaking of sound quality, it’s pretty decent overall. Sure, the bass isn’t as good since it’s an open design but I’m okay with that since these types of earbuds are very comfortable to wear even for long hours.
The 1MORE app doesn’t actually do much, though. We can update its firmware via the app – which I highly advise you to do so, and you can also disable the proximity sensor if you want to. And that’s about it. There’s no custom EQ or anything similar.
You can also customize the gesture here – but like we mentioned earlier, there’s only two gestures supported.
Okay, that aside – how’s the battery life though? Considering the size of the bud, I don’t expect much. It can last for about 3-4 hours on a single charge and the case can provide slightly more than 4 additional charges.
As for the microphone, watch our video at the top.
Now, the price. At RM189, I think it’s a weird situation. On one hand, I personally really like this type of earphone design because I generally don’t like something plunged inside my ear – but on the other hand, the sound quality of the 1MORE is spotty because it is sensitive to how you place it in your ears.
Are there are other alternatives in the market, though? Well, this type of semi in-ear design is rather uncommon. Edifier and Soundpeats have a few and they’re not that much different in terms of price with the 1MORE ComfoBuds.
