Much more than a little bit I'm afraid. :weary:

Me too - rolled off at both ends too steeply for my tastes and way too early on the treble.

Just picked up the "SoundPEATS Hi-Res Wired Gaming Earphones with Hybrid Dual Drivers" which are built a lot like the 1More Triple Driver IEM, in fact, a bit better.

BUILD
These are very similar to the 1More Triple Driver in build and appearance (especially the cable). In terms of the wire itself, it's actually a little more robust than the 1More. Metal parts, feels very solid.

SOUND
IMHO, sounds better than the 1More Triple, which lacks some sparkle in the highs. Solid, deep low end and clear, articulate highs that never become grating or fatiguing. Sounds like there is a slight recess in the mids, so it's definitely a V-shaped signature, but a little EQ and it's gold. The 1More has a boomy bass that's a bit sloppy, while also having subdued highs. It does, however, have a better mid range out of the box.

QC
First pair I received had a driver imbalance (one side was louder than the other). However, the replacement is perfect. YMMV.

OVERALL
Around $20-$25 for an earbud built like the 1More Triple Drivers that sounds better (to me)? No brainer!

SIDE NOTE
Never really thought the 1More Triple Driver was a GREAT IEM, good, but not great. I found the bass too boomy and the highs too subdued.

The DTR1 Prelude is indeed an excellent sounding DAP. The overall sound is engaging and lively without sounding aggressive. The soundstage is the highlight for me. Spacious presentation and holographic feeling. With this kind sound at its asking price, it is a clear winner no doubt. Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always! :)


Price is pretty steep... wonder how it compares against iBasso DAP`s ?

I have not compared the DTR1 against iBasso DAPs yet. Have compared it against the Sony NW-WM1A though, the DTR1 has a more revealing presentation and the energy it has contributes to a higher engagement level. You can check out the DTR1 thread, here. Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always! :)
