The 1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro Wireless Headphones are a substantial upgrade over their predecessor, but that's only a small part of what makes them great. For $149/€165, you're getting features and performance that surpasses neckband headphones twice the price. If you're not all that crazy about TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headphones and, like myself, prefer the neckband design, you can stop reading and just get these. There's no way you'll be anything other than fully satisfied.

First and foremost, they're well made, look nice, and are very comfortable to wear. The silicone neckband is soft and very bendable, so you'll soon forget you're wearing it. The supplied silicone ear tips fit nicely, and there are several pairs/sizes to choose from. Anyone should be able to find a pair that fully seals the ear canal(s) without causing discomfort. Some additional form of in-ear stabilization is absent, but I don't see this as a problem. I never had these headphones fall out, even while using them in a gym, and use them in a gym you will because they're IPX5-certified—sweat and rain can't harm these.

Performance of the 1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro headphones is excellent. They sound really good across the board and sport one of the best microphones I have run across on any pair of wireless headphones. Conducting phone calls and issuing voice commands to Google Assistant was a breeze, both inside and outside. I haven't communicated as effortlessly with any other wireless headphones I have used to date. Their wireless performance is pretty much flawless as the built-in Bluetooth 5.0 chip establishes the connection quickly and holds it firmly without any drops or interruptions with even the high-bitrate LDAC codec. The hybrid active noise canceling technology works as well as you can expect from a pair of in-ear headphones. There's also "Wind Noise Resistance" mode, which I didn't find much use for.

Depending on the Bluetooth codec used, battery life spans from around 8 to upwards of 13 hours, which is good enough for pretty much any application. The battery supports fast charging—it only takes 10 minutes of charging to keep the headphones running for an additional 3 hours.

Overall, this is a well-rounded product I can wholeheartedly recommend. Considering everything you're getting, the $149/€165 price tag doesn't seem at all unreasonable.
