Introduction
1MORE's Capsule dual driver in-ear headphones aim to combine great sound and aesthetics through a hybrid driver configuration. In terms of the driver configuration, 1MORE has gone for the conventional approach, leaving the low end for the dynamic driver and the midrange and treble for the balanced armature. This particular configuration has been seen quite a few times before and usually results in a pretty decent-sounding pair of in-ears if tuned appropriately.
Styling-wise, 1MORE has played it safe. The Capsule is made out of aluminum, which should bode well for its long-term durability. The cable is beefy and includes a simple inline remote with both playback controls and a microphone.
You get all of this for just €69.90, which should be a very competitive price point for a pair of quality in-ears with a full feature set. We put the Capsule through its paces to see if it can live up to expectations!

The Package
1MORE definitely puts a lot of effort into the aesthetics of their products; even their boxes look stylish. The box is also more than durable enough to keep the Capsule safe during shipping.
Bundled with the Capsule are three sets of tips, earphone body covers, and a carrying bag. Even though the bundle is not huge, you get everything you need to get started. Compared to other bundles for earphones in the same price range, the quality accessories from 1MORE are right at the top.
The TRRS mini jack is well made and very slim. This should enable you to use the Capsule with any phone or DAP on the market today.
1MORE seems to care about their users and how they use the Capsule. They even include two small magnets at the rear of the in-ears, which makes them stick together. This reduces cable tangling and makes them easier to stowaway and get out of a filled bag. Of course, it also means they attract any magnetic materials that might have accumulated where you store them!
