As the flagship model in the SonoFlow series, the 1MORE SonoFlow Max HQ60 delivers enhanced noise cancellation, improved sound quality and longer battery life, making it a versatile choice for commuting, work and leisure.

QuietMax™ 2.0 Noise Cancellation for a Quieter Listening Experience

The HQ60 features QuietMax™ 2.0 noise cancellation, offering up to 50 dB of noise reduction. Its AI-powered adaptive noise cancellation algorithm detects and suppresses ambient sounds such as low-frequency subway rumble, tire noise from passing traffic, office equipment and nearby conversations. Users can switch between Noise Cancellation, Transparency and Off modes to suit their needs.

Transparency mode allows users to hear surrounding sounds without removing their headphones, making it easier to stay aware of their environment while commuting or going about their daily activities.

Coaxial Dual-Driver Acoustic Design for Rich Musical Detail

The HQ60 uses a coaxial dual-driver acoustic architecture, with dedicated high- and low-frequency drivers working together to deliver powerful bass, detailed vocals and extended treble. The headphones carry both wired and wireless Hi-Res Audio certifications, support the LDAC high-resolution audio codec, and have been tuned with input from Grammy Award-winning sound engineer Luca Bignardi.

With the 1MORE app, users can access 13 built-in EQ presets and customize sound settings to match their personal preferences. The HQ60 is also tuned by THX to deliver high-quality acoustic performance. Combined with the coaxial driver design, these features help create an immersive sound experience whether listening to music, watching a movie or playing a game.

Long Battery Life and Comfortable Design for All-Day Use

The HQ60 delivers up to 105 hours of playback on a single charge and supports Q-Flash fast charging, providing up to five hours of listening time with just five minutes of charging. Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device connectivity, wired and wireless listening modes, and dual-microphone Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) for clearer calls make the HQ60 well suited for work, commuting and entertainment.

For enhanced comfort, the HQ60 incorporates a BalanceAir 3.0 pressure-distribution structure, high-resilience memory foam ear cushions and skin-friendly protein leather. An adjustable headband, 45-degree adaptive swivel earcups and foldable construction make the headphones comfortable to wear and easy to pack away.

1MORE Classic HQ36: Vinyl-Inspired Retro Design Meets Modern Audio Technology

Weighing approximately 193 g, the headphones feature skin-friendly protein leather ear cushions and adjustable sliding arms for a secure and comfortable fit. The foldable design and included carrying pouch make the HQ36 easy to carry and store.

Hi-Res Wireless Audio for Detailed, High-Quality Sound

1MORE Launches Two Over-Ear Headphones in Japan, Bringing Flagship Sound and Retro Style to Music Lovers

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, a global cryptocurrency exchange, released its AI Trading Report, based on a survey of 3,708 crypto traders. The report examines how respondents use AI, how much trading authority they would delegate, and what protective measures they expect from platforms. Blockchain security firm Hacken contributed technical analysis of risks associated with AI agent trading and the controls designed to address them.

Key takeaways:

• 84.8% of surveyed crypto users have used AI for research or trading. While 58.3% report improved market research, 46% also report better trade execution, though 54% have yet to see improvement at the execution stage.
• Interest in AI agents is already significant: half of respondents are interested in AI agents but have not tried them.
• 65.9% of AI users act on its advice at least sometimes; Only 20% have tried execution without approving each trade.
• 54% would let AI trade with some funds, but no more than 20% of their account; only 6.5% would authorize more than half.
• Half of users with automated execution experience worry they could fail to detect or stop problems in time.
• Willingness to use automated trading grows from 55% under the baseline scenario to 71.8% when limits on funds, positions, leverage and losses are added.
• 95.5% support at least one mandatory protective measure, even as many want control over their own settings.

The report found that 84.8% of respondents had used AI to analyze or trade digital assets in the previous six months, with 53.1% using it at least weekly. Adoption was higher among younger participants: 88.5% of respondents aged 18–34 had used AI, compared with 69.9% of those aged 45 and older. Among respondents who reported not using AI, difficulty getting started or high entry barriers was a more common obstacle than AI mistrust, cited by 46.7% and 32.7%, respectively.

AI's biggest role remained preparation before a trade. Summarizing news was among the most frequent tasks for 54.3% of AI users, ahead of market analysis at 48.6% and finding trading opportunities at 38%. Only 7.6% selected direct execution as one of their most-used tasks. Looking at their most recent AI-assisted trade, 68.9% said AI contributed most before execution, compared with 22.7% during trading.

Users were also more positive about research than execution. While 58.3% reported better market research, 46% reported improved execution. Another 30.9% saw no change in execution, and 23.1% said it had worsened. These assessments reflect respondents' experiences rather than independently measured trading performance.

AI advice nevertheless influenced trading activity. Among AI users, 65.9% said they placed orders or adjusted positions based on its recommendations at least sometimes. These groups could overlap.

Risk limits changed respondents' willingness to automate. In a scenario offering notifications, pausing and permission revocation, 55% were willing to let AI trade automatically. Adding limits on funds, assets, positions, leverage and losses, with automatic stopping at the loss threshold, brought willingness to 71.8% — an increase of 16.8 percentage points.

That willingness did not extend to most of an account's funds. In a separate scenario prohibiting transfers and withdrawals and allowing users to stop trading at any time, 54% would authorize no more than 20% of their account assets and only 6.5% would authorize more than half.

Hacken's contribution examines why withdrawal restrictions alone cannot prevent losses. An agent with trading access could still be manipulated into buying an asset at an inflated price or taking on excessive exposure. Its analysis outlines protective measures set independently of the agent, including limits on orders, total positions and permissions, alongside security testing to ensure unwanted actions are blocked before execution.

On oversight, 46.2% of respondents preferred exchanges to offer safety settings users could choose to enable, about 1.8 times the share who preferred uniform minimum requirements set by the platform (25.7%). Support for user choice did not mean rejecting industry standards: among those who preferred optional settings and answered the separate standards question, 97.8% backed at least one mandatory measure.

Across all 3,464 valid responses to the standards question, a risk assessment or knowledge test before first use received the most support at 55.3%. Independent audits and limits on capital and loss that cannot be disabled followed at 38.8% each.

"As AI becomes more integrated into trading, our findings show that users don't want less control. They want clearer boundaries," said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. "For traders, that means clear risk limits, the ability to intervene when needed, and confidence that the platform has done its part before automation begins."
