Design flaw make it not worth the money you pay
1More's triple driver in ear headphone has a good sound quality while it works, but this product has a design flaw that would make it not worth the money you pay.
The headphone's wire is braided all the way up to the bifurcation, which is great, but the wires leads to the 2 separated headphone units are not, and those wires are covered with only rubber-like material. What's worse than the wire not braided is that this rubber-like material is flexible, meaning it can be extended while the copper inside is not. This would make the wire extremely fragile. I thought I can make this headphone last longer by taking extreme care, but I was wrong, the extension of the rubber-like material happen naturally as the temperature of the environment changes, and just this single factor is enough to kill the wire inside within a few month of use, let along once or twice unintentionally pulls.
Without surprise, problem with torn wire appeared within 4 months of use. Right piece was intermittently losing signal, falling silent. However, the symptom goes away in the 5th month, just before I decided to return this product, and I was happy again, not knowing a even more series problem is growing.
Now after a little more than 1 year's use, the right ear piece is gradually losing volume, now it is only producing 50% volume as the left piece. And what's worse is that 1 year has passed, I already lost my warranty.
I thought since this problem first happened only 4 months into using it, I should give the warranty a shot anyway, and without surprise, the claim was denied, after the guy handling my case leaving the case open for 2 days for "personal reasons". I do get 30% discount code for purchasing a new set of headphones on 1More's website, but I am not going to spend any more money on this product with design flaw, and the new 4 driver version on 1More's website is still as expensive as the one sold hear on amazon, even with 30% discount.
I am buying a new cellphone, maybe for now I will just pick up a cheaper version of headphones, maybe from oneplus, I heard they have a wireless headphone that was very good.
TL; DR: Triple Driver version has design flaw that will kill the product in less than 6 month, don't buy it. The support was not very helpful, and makes me feel their offers are insincere.
