Sound quality:

We found the ComfoBuds Pro delivers sound quality that falls in the very good range - it reproduces music and voice very well although it does have some noticeable sonic quirks and excellent active noise reduction. With the noise cancelling mode engaged and the 1More app noise cancelling listening mode set to strong (maximum) (as received state of the headphone) the bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is slightly prominent and boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is even, but is somewhat hazy and a bit grainy. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is fairly extended, but is somewhat smeared and a bit subdued. The sound also has a good sense of liveliness and is somewhat open--sound-wise it almost seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears and does a good job of recovering room ambience. Warmish character. The overall sound can be summarized as slightly bassy and somewhat hazy. Noise Canceling: Excellent noise reduction across the entire frequency range with the low frequencies reduced the most. A very faint rushing sound can be heard in quiet environments when there is no audio program to drown it out.

Comfort and Fit:
We found that these earphones as typical of in-ear models produce a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening might be uncomfortable for some. Users will probably find that this model stays in place with no problems for casual use and that they are very stable even during vigorous head movement. Hitting the stem that hangs out of the ear can knock an earphone lose and cause it to fall out of the ear.
