Again, I have a model from 1More on the review. The next time they worked at a typical level for themselves, presenting a stylish, high-quality and unusual model, but this time in the form-factor of the inserts.
The format of the in-ear headphones (they are also "tablets", they are also "earbuds", they are "like those of the old iPod"), which dominated the personal audio market a few years ago, now just as completely lost the palm to the headphones- "plugs" (they are also "vacuum", they are also "in-channel", they are also "IEM"). The reasons for this are two: first, the best sound insulation of the latter, and secondly, a lesser dependence on the features of the structure of the ears of the listener. But there are insoles and pluses: they usually better build an imaginary scene and many better fit anatomically. In addition, in a city, you still hear what's happening around you. In general, 1More could not miss this niche and made it a model that has all the things for which we love their solutions.

Packing and delivery kit
And this time 1More did not retreat from the taken level, all this we have seen more than once: a beautiful box with a magnetic valve, sealed in plastic, stylish printing, conveniently decorated with individual boxes of accessories. The latter is also traditionally a lot, except for the headphones themselves, you get:
- Case from black "biokoji" with magnetic valve
- "Aviation" adapter for two 3.5-mm monojack
- clip for fixing the wire to the clothes
- 2 pairs of foam nozzles
- 2 pairs of rubber round baits
- 3 pairs of rubber tips of different size with an "ear", which improves the fixation of earphones in the ear
As you can see, even here 1More managed to give out more than others.
Design and comfortable wearing
Appearance in many respects is typical for the company's headphones, a pleasant combination of pale golden and bluish-gray colors is used. Everything without exception is made of metal, everything is thought out in terms of forms and appearance, everything is collected at the highest level.
E1008 are made as open as possible, their form factor does not have to close, but the developers also made additional holes on the outside of the case, designed to improve an already good imaginary scene. Of course, there is no need to speak about any soundproofing, the headphones are not designed for noisy environments and those who want to completely shut themselves off from it.
These inserts very well "sit" in the ears and very reliably for this form factor there are kept, providing good comfort. Still, keep the auditory canal constantly corked IEM - the idea is not the best, but with the liners the problem does not arise. If you decide to run or jump with them - at your service nozzles with a fixing loop.
The cable here is non-replaceable, above the splitter it is made in soft rubber insulation, below - in a fabric braid. The wire is flexible enough, it does not harden very much in the cold, it does not get tangled and is not very prone to rustling from friction about clothes. All potentially problem areas are protected from fractures, but still in the course of operation it is worth to show a little care. On the cable of the right "ear" there is a three-button headset, the microphone is average in quality. The 4-pin plug is made with the G-letter, which will please fans of compactness.
Sound
The following equipment was used for listening.
- Yulong DA9 and Resonessence Labs Concero HP as DAC and Amplifier
- Apple MacBook Pro Retina 2016 as a source
- Fidelia as a player
- Lotoo PAW Gold, theBit OPUS # 2 and iBasso DX200 and others as portable players
- High Definition Records in Lossless-formats (Dr. Chesky The Ultimate Headphone Demonstration Disc and others)
Before listening to the headphones were warmed for 48 hours, noticeable changes in the sound was not observed.
This time, 1More decided to make a model with a "massive" sound and built the E1008 in a typical basshead style, perfectly suited to modern music. Naturally, the company did not change its traditions and used two emitters (dynamic + ceramics on HF), offering listeners a little more than "typical biblings."
The bass here is noticeably accentuated, it has an increased massiveness and is usually not averse to "show oneself". Of course, the extra weight does not go for the benefit of speed, but in general, the resolution of the LF is not bad here for this price category. Deep layers of the bass are also present, but, expected for the form factor, they do not dominate, the main load is taken by midbass. Working out the textures is normal, but because of the accentuation, the bass sometimes crawls on the midrange.
The middle is made noticeably smoothed and fed together, so as not to strain the potential buyer with excessive details and sharpness. Because of this, headphones, of course, will not suit audiophiles and other connoisseurs of detail, they are simply not for this purpose. Despite this, E1008 is very good at building an imaginary scene both in width and in depth (roughly average in size), most likely affected by openness and form factor.
HF is really good in resolution, but in order to achieve a comfortable feed, they are markedly "pressed" quantitatively, so they occupy a place somewhere in the background, which undoubtedly will please those who do not like this part of the range. To my taste, it was possible to add HF all the same, since their permission allows them not to be masked, and the overall feed-in would make it more balanced.
Compatibility
Correctly chosen impedance and sensitivity of this model allow it to work without problems with both smartphones and specialized players, although the need for a high-level source for the E1008, perhaps not.
Since the headphones have a pronounced coloration of the sound, I would recommend them for simple styles such as popular music, electronic genres, simple rock - often on these recordings this model sounds effective, although not truthfully. But, naturally, at this point everything is traditionally based on the listener's preferences. To the quality of recording, the model is tolerant, somewhere on 4 points on a 10-point scale of "fault-finding".
Traditionally, several sample tracks
Pink - Whatever you Want . Let's be frank, if professionals work on pop music, the result often turns out to be interesting from the point of view of quality. Fresh album Pink "Beautiful Trauma" was no exception. In E1008, thanks to the underlined LF and the good construction of the imaginary scene, its strengths are spectacularly framed.
Watgod - Pelican . Another example of a composition that is perfectly suitable for these headphones in nature. Here, too, there is a powerful bass, supplemented by interesting volumetric effects, allowing you to fully experience the advantages of the form factor E1008.
Wrongtom - The Same Dub Twice . Well, and another track in the piggy bank data headphones, since I decided to select the material on which they show themselves well. Positive low-frequency dubious vibrations will return you thoughts in the summer and allow you to brighten up the long evenings of the autumn-winter season, especially if they are effectively presented by the heroes of today's review.
conclusions
1More clearly understand what they are doing and what result they want to achieve. Their model in the form-factor "liners" is clearly oriented to the mass market and offers everything that consumers demand: from bass sound to high quality. Of course, this is not a model for audiophiles, but it was not designed for this.
