Short answer: the Sony MDR-EX10, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #1151 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 2.1/5, at $24.99; the 1MORE Stylish ranks #1219, rated 1.4/5, at $21.94. With prices this close, go by the sound-quality ranking rather than the cost. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 1291 in-ear headphones; for better sound, the EPZ G10 ranks #16 at $23.74.
The Sony MDR-EX10 is the better-sounding pick. Bass is lifted about 5.3 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. Watch for: A 4.3 dB peak near 9.6 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp.
What the 1MORE Stylish does well: A coaxial pair of dynamic drivers and a built-in microphone make it a cheap all-purpose phone earphone for calls and commuting. The catch: In crinacle’s measurement it earns a preference score of only 42, with a 4 dB spread around the target and a warm tilt, so the tonal balance is well off what most listeners prefer.
Buy the Sony MDR-EX10. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $3.05 saving on the 1MORE Stylish is not enough to make up the difference.
