Amazon I've been trying a lot of Bluetooth headphones recently, mostly from big brands like Bang & Olufsen and Sony.

This week I've been testing a pair from a smaller US brand called 1More. They don't cost as much as the higher-end pairs I've tested, but they definitely hold their own.

Like Sony's h.ear headphones, 1More has ditched the standard black and gray headphone colors for red and blue. Bright colors aren't the only thing that helps these headphones stand out, though.

Unlike most headphones, which rely on an adjustable headband for the proper fit, 1More's headphones have independently adjustable earcups. The band is stationary, but the earcups are attached to it on a little sliding track. This method doesn't have any major comfort advantages, but having a solid, stationary band does make this pair of headphones feel more durable.

1More sells a few different headphones, but I've been testing their latest over-the-ear pair, and I have to say they're among the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. There's ample padding on both the top of the headband and the ear cups; the latter are big enough to fit over my entire ear comfortably. Unfortunately, there's no active noise cancelling here, so there's a little bit of ambient sound leakage if you're in a loud environment. That can be counteracted by cranking the volume up, but that isn't an ideal solution.

Sound-wise, these are among the best headphones I've ever tested, and they're definitely in the upper tier of the Bluetooth headphones I've ever heard. The treble is a little accentuated, which can be a little painful on super treble-heavy tracks, but the bass and midrange are both very smooth. The sound quality was consistent whether I was listening to high-quality music from my personal library, or streaming through Apple Music.

The same is true with different genres of music. Unlike some headphones that show you all of your music's flaws, 1More's headphones covered them up. They have a sound signature that's all their own, and if it wasn't for their slight treble heaviness, they'd be a perfectly rounded pair.

On the Bluetooth side, I was pleased with the performance of these headphones. There were very infrequent dropouts, specifically when my hand was over my phone while putting it in my pocket. But even those lasted for less than a second — a brief blip instead of a total disconnection. Once paired, these headphones reconnected with my phone, without fail, multiple times a day.

Having tried headphones over three times 1More's asking price, I wasn't sure exactly how good headphones in this price range would fare. It turns out I had little to worry about. They might not sound as good as my best pair of Bluetooth headphones, but 1More has put out a great looking, sounding, and feeling pair of headphones.

If anyone asked me to recommend them a budget-friendly pair of Bluetooth headphones, I'd suggest these without thinking twice.
