Premium performance for under £100. Mobile phone manufacturers have really upped their audio game in recent years. Having high-quality audio via either speakers or headphone/Lightning connector is fast becoming a call-out feature. Samsung's Galaxy S9, for example, has speakers 'tuned' by audio specialists AKG, the Razer Phone carries size-belying speaker heft, while others, such as the LG G6, offer a hifi-class quad digital-to-audio (DAC) convertor. Some even go so far as to bundle in a decent pair of earbuds into the premium package, elevating audio to first-class citizen status.

There's an understandable plethora of choice for aftermarket buds, too, from the basic £10 replacements to audiophile-quality offerings costing more than £100, and because audio relies upon subjective perception to a greater degree, knowing what's genuinely good requires a careful look at the technology underpinning a range of buds. This is where a company called 1More likes to think it has an edge. Already widely available in the US, 1More is looking to win over support in Europe, and I have the firm's £80 Triple Driver model in for review today.
