The 1More Piston Fit is fairly impressive for its price. It offers a strong low frequency performance, along with decent mids and clean highs. It may sound a tad shrill, but the audio balance is warm and enjoyable for volume levels up to 70 percent, which is loud enough for most listeners. It is also slightly less expensive than the best performer here, which makes it an even better value-for-money buy.
