CONCLUSION
When 1MORE send their Spearhead VR BT In-Ear Headphones to our lab a couple of months back we were very impressed not only because of the color combination used (black and red is our best) but also because of their low weight which made it possible to use them even while working out. Of course, in order to reduce the weight of the Spearhead VR BT headphones 1MORE had to cut some corners (too much plastic all around) so in terms of build quality they are simply put not on par with the Triple Driver BT model which we reviewed a while back. The same applies with audio quality but luckily the Spearhead VR BT doesn't lag back as much as we had originally thought compared to the Triple Driver BT model. We were actually pleased with its audio performance (clear mids and highs with a good amount of bass) not only while listening to music and watching video clips but also while on calls (we didn't really use them with smartphone games). The LED effects are also a nice touch although RGB would be much more eye-catching than just red (plus 1MORE could had placed LEDs in some areas of the neckband as well). The built-in microphone also works well even in noisy environments (we have however seen better ones from models with multiple mics). The sole problem with the Spearhead VR BT is actually with its Assistant App since it didn't give us the Headphone Setting tab in some of our phones (thus we weren't able to change the LED effects and enable the 3D setting) but we did pass that along to 1MORE and they are looking into it.
Currently the Spearhead VR BT In-Ear Headphones retail for USD99.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 69Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) a price tag which feels just right for what you're getting in return. However, if music is your thing, we do suggest spending a bit more on the Triple Drive BT model (or wait to find it on sale) since it's quite a bit ahead in terms of both audio performance and build quality. That being said however we also think that the Spearhead VR BT is a very good choice not only for people who are into smartphone gaming but also for people looking to get a good all-around model for listening to music, watching video clips and making calls and that’s why it comes highly recommended by us.
