When browsing for earphones or headphones, you’ll regularly come across the name 1More. The 1More comfobuds Mini Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones are our pick for the best earbuds you can buy today. Its products may not be the ones you’ll flock to when money is no object. But they’re still worth checking out if you’re looking for features that stand out without breaking the bank.
Active noise cancellation, which works reasonably well despite some hissing, is a significant benefit over other competitors at this price point. However, it’s the size we find most appealing. The 1More ComfoBuds Mini is a miniature version of the 1More ComfoBuds. They claim to be the world’s tiniest couple, and we have no reason to dispute them.
The beauty behind the 1More ComfoBuds Mini is simply not paying attention to their existence, reminding us of our favorite fitness trackers we take on our regular walks. You’ll have to spend some time setting them up at first.
Expect to activate ANC as well, as our 1More ComfoBuds Mini had it turned off by default until we opened the app. It makes a significant difference. While ANC isn’t bulletproof, it did let us zone out a little more when strolling down a busy street. We didn’t have to worry about distracting noises unless we turned Transparency mode on.
While the 1More ComfoBuds Mini aren’t ideal, they’re still a great value for money. We can’t get over how small they are, and for many people, that will be the most compelling reason to purchase them.
The audio quality is very nice. Although the soundstage is a little weaker and less all-encompassing than certain competitors (we’re looking at you, Nothing Ear (1)). It’s still sufficient when compared to the other beneficial qualities.

At this time, both black and white variants are available, with pricing that is nearly the same for both. Because they’ve only recently launched, don’t expect any discounts.
Design
The 1More ComfoBuds Mini earphones are amazingly small. If you have small ears, you’ll appreciate how easy they are to slip in and secure, and how different. They are from most other earbuds on the market, which are all about the same size.
The charging case is bulky in comparison, but when you close it, it has a nice clang, and the earphones fit snugly inside.
Wear detection is also included on the 1More ComfoBuds Mini, which automatically pauses your music when you remove the buds from your ears. It’s a touch slower than we’d like, sometimes taking a second or two to catch up, but it’s a lot easier than remembering to pause music yourself.
Audio performance and noise cancellation
To get the best audio and noise cancellation capabilities, you’ll need to modify the 1More ComfoBuds Mini. It’s important to turn on ANC at first since it makes a difference. While full ANC does not completely eliminate background noise, it does a good job of lowering it (though we did notice a little hissing in the background).To choose the best sound profile for your

While there isn’t an equalizer or presets to choose from, the profiling tool allows you to spend five minutes fine-tuning the sound to your satisfaction. It provides a sense of personalization to the listening experience and makes a tremendous impact.
The sound is good, but the bottom frequencies have a distinct lack of punch. The soundstage isn’t especially broad, so you won’t get the same immersive experience as you would with earbuds like the Sony LinkBuds or NuraTrue. It was the same story with Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy, which lacked the mesmerizing sense of direction that a pair of AirPods Pro with Spatial Audio can provide.
However, Switching to David Bowie’s Under Pressure, on the other hand, proved how the sound is dependably clear and the higher frequencies are crisp enough.

Battery life and Wireless Charging

With USB-C fast charging, you’ll get 1.5 hours of uninterrupted listening from a 10-minute quick charge.
Although the battery life isn’t particularly impressive, the buds should easily last you for a day’s worth of listening and beyond. A five-minute charge provides nearly an hour of playback time, which is useful if you’re about to leave.

Bluetooth 5.2 is used for connectivity, which works well and provides a reliable connection. SBC and AAC codecs are also supported, but nothing more advanced, thus you won’t be able to listen to high-resolution audio files.
