Retro Aesthetics Meet Advanced Acoustics: 1MORE Classic HQ36 Headphones Launch with Style and Sound

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on its expertise in acoustics and understanding of contemporary design trends, professional audio brand 1MORE introduces the 1MORE Classic Headphones HQ36, a new model combining retro-inspired design with modern audio technology. Inspired by vinyl records, the 1MORE Classic HQ36 pairs a distinctive retro look with Hi-Res Wireless certified audio and active noise cancellation, delivering an immersive listening experience for music lovers while also serving as a stylish everyday accessory.

A Distinctive Retro-Inspired Design

The retro aesthetic is one of the defining elements of the 1MORE Classic Headphones HQ36. Its design incorporates classic vinyl-record textures and retro leather materials, with two color options: Maillard Brown and Jazz Black. Designed for a range of everyday settings, from outdoor photography and commuting to work and study, the HQ36 functions as both a listening device and a fashion accessory.

Weighing just 193g, the headphones feature skin-friendly protein leather ear cushions and an adjustable headband to accommodate different head sizes. The lightweight construction is designed to reduce pressure and heat during extended listening. A foldable design also makes the headphones easier to carry.

High-Resolution Sound with Every Detail

In terms of audio performance, the 1MORE Classic HQ36 continues the brand's focus on acoustic engineering and has received Hi-Res Wireless certification. It features a 40mm dual-magnetic composite diaphragm driver and supports LDAC lossless decoding technology, delivering three times the transmission efficiency of conventional SBC while preserving more detail and depth in music playback.

The HQ36 also supports dynamic spatial audio tracking, allowing the sound field to respond dynamically to head movements for a more immersive, live-like listening experience. In addition, six professionally tuned preset sound profiles and customizable settings through the 1MORE app accommodate different listening preferences across classical, pop, vocal, and other music genres.

Adaptive Listening for Every Environment

For noisy environments, the HQ36 is equipped with QuietMax™ hybrid active noise cancellation. Its dual-channel hybrid design provides up to -36dB noise reduction, helping reduce environmental noise in settings such as subways and cafés. Users can switch between Noise Cancellation, Transparency, and Off modes with a single control.

Transparency Mode allows surrounding sounds and conversations to remain audible without removing the headphones, providing greater awareness when listening on the go.

Faster, More Stable Wireless Connectivity

The 1MORE HQ36 also features an upgraded dual-core Bluetooth 6.0 solution for faster connections and more stable signal transmission. A 500mAh battery provides up to 60 hours of playback, while fast charging helps reduce downtime during commuting and travel.

For greater flexibility across different listening scenarios, the HQ36 supports both wired and wireless listening and comes with a cable for compatibility with a variety of playback devices. Physical controls provide direct access to power, noise cancellation and volume adjustment.

Through the 1MORE app, users can also access additional functions including one-tap headphone burn-in and OTA firmware updates, providing further customization of the listening experience.
