1More Color Buds and Dual Driver ANC Pro Review

Today we are checking out not one but two headphones by 1More. 1More’s Color Buds retailing at around £95 GBP, these are small wireless earbuds with multiple colours to choose from and Dual Driver ANC Pros retailing at around £145, that have a strange futuristic looking wireless neckband. Which would we choose out of the two?

Pros

  • Dual Drivers feel premium
  • Wired and wireless playback
  • Have even more specs than the colour buds obviously
  • Slightly better balanced profile
  • ANC
  • LDAC
  • Great controls

Cons

  • Might not be the most fashionable
  • Not a great lead from the earpieces bit kink friendly
  • ANC didn’t seem as good to me on these as the 1More’s True wireless ANC in ear headphones but those were more expensive so I'm not mad at the ANC for not being as good on the Dual Drivers.
Rating: 7.

KitGuru says: We think the colour buds win the war here. They may not have some of the features of the other models, the highs are a little more prominent but for the price difference we think you get a lot for your money here. The Dual Drivers are a close runner up though. They have a great sound profile and the ANC is a nice touch. They also have some pretty impressive specs.

DLSS 5 NVIDIA

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
