Can a cheapo set of earbuds sound great?

 

 

I’m almost embarrassed to mention a set of earbuds, which sell for $52 or so on Amazon(I paid $69.95 elsewhere) on this illustrious site. But the 1MORE Triple driver headphones are amazing.
I’ve been looking to supplement my Audeze headphones with less bulky earbuds for travel and convenience. I sampled some in the $200+ range and was to say the least, not impressed. On a lark, I purchased the low price 1MORE and was blown away. Rich, detailed sound with decent bass. Of course, they can’t be compared to high end phones, and I don’t know how durable they are.  But for the price, you can’t beat them. Nice packaging too.

“… for the price ,you can’t beat them …”

My take:

(1)” for the price” ….OK. Fair enough… enjoy them in this limited and narrowly defined context.

(2) “Great” ? Hmmm … uh, no … Not in my reference frame. Units at this price point strata may deliver an acceptable yeoman performance to some, but a rating of “great” wont pass muster in my reference frame.
Everything in this crazy hobby is built to its price point with an audio performance in lockstep.

But, go enjoy them .
