Hello! I’ve been looking for new earbuds (currently own QCY QS2 since 2 years). I’m glad I found your amazing and super helpful website because it has helped me a lot and I was able to narrow my search down to 2 earphones 🙂 I’m confused between Fiil CC Pro, 1More ComfoBuds Pro. I really love the design of the Fiil CC Pro. I’m also considering buy the fiil t1 lite as secondary earbud because of their waterproofing.
Can you please help me with this? I have seen a lot of comparisons but none of them really make it clear. I’ve been looking at a lot of reviews since the last three days and if you can help me with my following query, it will make my day! 🙂
Let’s take Comfobuds Pro as a baseline and let’s say that they score 100 in sound quality. Now what score would you give to Fiil CC Pro and Fiil t1 lite’s sound quality in comparison to Comfobuds Pro’s score (higher or lower score)? Please answer this for me. Thank you.
FIIL CC Pro and Fill T1 Lite have similar mid- and low-frequency effects, with a strong sense of rhythm. The high frequency processing of FIIL CC Pro pays more attention to the restoration of the sound, and it is softer. The tri-band performance of Fill T1 Lite is relatively balanced. The resolution of 1More ComfoBuds Pro vocals is a bit insufficient.
The following only represents the personal hearing experience score: (sound quality)
ComfoBuds Pro: 90
FIIL CC Pro: 92
Fill T1 Lite: 89
The author personally prefers FIIL CC Pro, not only because of the sound quality, but also because of the design. The disadvantage is that the waterproof level is not clear. The official did not give the waterproof parameters of FIIL CC Pro.
If you buy FIIL CC Pro as the main headset. It is recommended to buy Fill T1 Lite for auxiliary earplugs because it has an IPX7 waterproof rating.
All of the above are personal feelings and suggestions, please choose to buy according to your personal situation. (For example: appearance design, usage scenarios, capital budget etc.)
The price on Banggood:
1More ComfoBuds Pro: $85.99
FIIL CC Pro: $89.99
Fill T1 Lite: $62.99
