Fighting talk from the 1 MORE web site: 'Our mission is to deliver superior quality headphones at an amazing value to customers, disrupting an industry where price-hiking and design shortcuts are the norm'. From a newcomer to an old specialism - however many have joined it of late - that's either chutzpah or hubris. On the face of it, the H1707 lives up to its maker's claims of quality and value. This made-in-China headphone is the first I've encountered to incorporate what 1 MORE terms triple drivers, although strictly speaking that's inaccurate. Rather, the H1707 has two drivers - a 40mm main driver and tiny ceramic tweeter -supplemented by a passive radiator (an auxiliary bass radiator, or ABR, see boxout, p67). Still, nobody is going to suggest that this headphone is anything other than novel. It's also well-constructed and, at a smidge under £210, makes obvious claim to being value for money.
