1MORE Triple Driver BT In-Ear Headphones Review

In order to enjoy high-quality audio with this particular set, it is best that your sound source does support LDAC codecs, with a bandwidth of up to 990 Kbps; our trusty Huawei P30 enabled LDAC as soon as the headphones got connected, so no issues here. After listening to many audio clips on YouTube, FLAC albums and different podcasts on SoundCloud, we can say that it covers the whole spectrum optimally, with a decent amount of bass (if mounted with the correct tips in order to provide a good seal). The voices are clearly rendered, so we haven’t had issues while watching some TV shows on the smartphone as well. Versus the Stylish True Wireless In-Ear, this particular model does have the microphone mounted in a closer area to the mouth, so expect no issues taking phone calls or chatting for longer in conferences via Skype.

The Sony Xperia 1 Review: A 21:9 Take of the World

Sony is a company that we don’t talk nearly as much about as one would expect when it comes to their smartphones. In fact, here at AnandTech we had the odd circumstances of never actually been able to review a Sony phone. Be it unfocused marketing on Sony’s part or just bad luck on our part, it was a coverage area we’ve been looking to address for some while now.

This year, after numerous quarters of financial losses of the division, Sony’s mobile group was in particular turmoil as the company division has been going through some major restructuring. The most major change is that the Xperia Mobile division has been now grouped into Sony’s TV, audio and camera product lines, ending its time where the group would operate completely independently from Sony’s other divisions. In a way, this is a good change; we’ve in particular seen statements from the company’s spokespersons that past Sony smartphones suffered from the disconnect to other company divisions, for example having to figure out camera processing on their own as the Alpha camera team would not be allowed to help the smartphone team.
