Detailed Test Results

Design and features:

These earphones have medium-high sensitivity so they can provide satisfying volume levels when used with home audio equipment and even lower-powered portable audio devices. The Quad Driver has an integrated microphone and volume, music player function, and call connect/disconnect controls that are compatible with iPads, some iPods, and some iPhones and some other cellphones. The call connect/disconnect button can be used with some iPhones and some other cellphones. These earphones may not operate properly with some non-Apple/non-Android mobile devices or other audio equipment. This model comes with nine pairs of ear pieces in various sizes and types, a mini-plug-to-1/4-inch-plug adapter, a mini-plug-to-airplane-jack adapter, a removable shirt clip, and a carrying case.

Sound quality:

We found the Quad Driver delivers sound quality that falls in the excellent range; while no earphone is perfect, the sonic shortcomings of this model are minor. The overall sound can best be summarized as fairly clear and evenly balanced. Bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even but a touch hazy and grainy. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended and fairly even, but the upper treble is a bit sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound a bit reminiscent of bacon frying). The sound has a decent sense of liveliness and is somewhat open -- sound-wise it almost seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears. The sound is very similar to that of the 1MORE E1001 Triple Driver, but the bass and treble are more even.

Comfort and Fit:
We found that these earphones fit and stay in place with no problem, but as typical of in-ear models they produce a sense of pressure in the ear opening that might be uncomfortable for some.
