Hi-res audio earbuds? Let's check these out
0:03
Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out this. This is the 1More Evo Hi-res Audio ANC earbuds, and they're really nice
0:18
Let me jump into a close-up so you see what we're talking about. Now, the earbud itself features 10mm dynamic drivers
0:25
a 20 to 40,000 Hz frequency response, and adaptive ANC, and this is a rockin' ANC
0:32
Up to 42 decibels of noise removed from your environment. It is pretty remarkable
0:38
There are four ANC modes, and you just tap and hold on the end for 1.5 seconds
0:43
and you can step between those modes, or you can use the 1More app
0:47
I'll show you that app in just a minute. LDAC and Hi-res certified, so you're getting a lot of musical data
0:54
from your source device to the earbuds, which is giving you a really nice sound reproduction
1:00
Bluetooth 5.2 gives you dual pairing. You can pair them simultaneously to your phone and to your computer, for example
1:08
and whichever one's pushing out audio, that's the one it's going to work with
1:12
And Bluetooth 5.2 is also the very latest Bluetooth, which gives you super easy pairing and a really long range
1:19
and you never have to worry about them being out of sync or having one paired but not the other, so it just makes life a whole lot easier
1:27
Battery-wise, it's 8 hours per earbud, and you can see the earbuds are a little bit bigger than a lot of their competitors
1:34
That's probably for the Hi-res audio circuitry, but it's also obviously for a slightly bigger battery
1:40
So 8 hours per earbud, and you can put them in and charge them in the handy little case
1:46
and that gives you 28 hours total, optimal settings, ANC off. So if you have ANC on and you have your music super loud
1:55
you're going to get a little less battery life. That's just the nature of the circuitry and technology
2:00
is it just takes a little energy to work. Now, how do you charge the case? I'm so glad you asked
2:05
On the back, there's a USB-C charging port, but as I can show you with my OtterBox Qi wireless charging base
2:14
you can also charge them wirelessly, which is really nice. Probably not a make-or-break feature, but a really handy one
2:22
if you have wireless charging around for different devices. Put it on, let it charge, super easy to work with
2:28
Now, one of the things that 1More really prides itself on with these particular earbuds
2:34
is that they're using 6 microphones to pick up your voice and to give you the best possible sound and to eliminate some of that background noise
2:45
Now, I have it hooked up to my phone. This is the Google Pixel 6 Pro
2:52
That's a tough one to say when you have earbuds in. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you..
3:00
First, let's go into the 1More app. And you can see... So here we have the earbuds, and I can switch ANC modes
3:12
Yep, I can hear that difference. Now you can see there are four different modes, strong, mild, WNR, and adaptive
3:20
But I can also adjust things like playback, which affects what happens when you take them in or out of your ears
3:27
You can use Sound ID if you want to do custom EQ
3:32
There's some Bluetooth setup. There's a firmware you can check to see if you have the latest version
3:37
First thing I did when I got them out of the box was that, and you know what
3:42
I had a firmware update. Really, really common. Make sure you have the latest firmware
3:46
It just works better. Now, what I really want to do is I really want to demonstrate the audio
3:52
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to record myself talking and then switch that audio
4:00
So now you're hearing my voice as picked up by the 1More EVO mics
4:06
And you should hear a significant difference from my little clip-on microphone that I use for my audio regularly
4:12
But this is what someone would hear if you were on the phone with them
4:16
Cool. Now, let me just stop that and save this. And we'll turn off the screen recording
4:25
Hopefully that all worked. And that's basically everything. They're really nice. They're very comfortable
4:33
They're IPX4, so they're water and sweat resistant. They are not going to work in the pool
4:39
You are not going to be able to go deep sea diving with these in your ears. Why would you do that
4:43
That would be a really bad idea. But if you're out and about and it starts to rain or something, totally no problem
4:51
They fit in the case. The case is a smidge larger than most of its competitors
4:56
But like the earbuds being larger, you're getting a lot more battery life and a much better circuitry system
5:02
So, lots to like here. Now, not much else to tell you about it
5:06
I guess we can look in the box. So, the box is a classic 1More box design
5:11
So, there are designer sketches on one side of it. This is true across the entire 1More line
5:18
I've reviewed a lot of gear from this company and it's all really good. The user guide comes in many, many languages
5:25
There is a fun 1More Bear sticker. There is some information on warranty and proof of purchase
5:34
And there is the charging cable, as you would expect. USB-C on one end, USB-A on the other end
5:41
And finally, there are a lot of different ear tips. In fact, it comes with four different sizes of ear tips
5:51
And I just want to emphasize how important it is to try out different sizes to get the ones that work best with your ear
5:59
Because it will make a world of difference on that bass. Now, speaking of that, let's talk about the sound
6:07
I really liked the sound. I think that there was a really nice sound stage
6:12
There was a good spatial sense. The bass was strong. I could adjust it with the sound ID and everything
6:19
But it wasn't thumpy or overpowering. And the highs were nice. They weren't bright
6:25
They weren't a little bit awkward. I turned it up pretty darn loud
6:29
I was listening to some old Duran Duran. Such a great band
6:33
And it was just making me want to dance. It was just a really nice sound reproduction
6:39
And that, combined with its powerful ANC, makes it a real winner
6:44
These are some really nice earbuds. And at a good price. In fact, at a great price right now
6:50
But let's talk about price after I ask you if you could subscribe to my channel
6:55
Just a click on that subscribe and we're connected. Great. Now, these are, or this is, I never really know with earbuds
7:05
Is it a singular or a plural? Like headphones. Is it an is headphones or are headphones
7:10
I don't know. This particular unit is known as the 1More Evo Hi-Res Audio ANC Earbuds
7:21
And they're $169.99. And they will be launching on May 10th. So, I'm putting this video up pre-launch
7:30
Now, they do have a launch promo. If you go to their 1more.com website, you can save $30
7:36
Making them $139.99. And they're offering a Qi wireless charging pad too
7:42
That's a heck of a deal. Go to 1more.com. Look for the 1More Evo and pick up a pair for yourself
7:49
These are some solid earbuds. They have a lot going for them
7:53
Especially that strong, solid ANC. So, definitely worth checking out. That's all I got
8:00
I'll catch you in my next video. Be safe
8:10
And have a great day
