I feel like I compare every earbuds I receive to Apple's AirPods lineup.
And this is the first time that I've received a set
that has me questioning whether I'll continue to use my AirPods Pro.
Let's take a look at the 1More Evo buds.
Hey, I'm
Chris and these are the 1More Evo buds.
The newest and greatest offering that 1More has released.
They've got high res audio, great noise canceling, gestures,
pretty much everything you'd expect from a premium set of earbuds.
And most importantly, multiple profiles.
That's right, 1More have finally released a set of buds
that can connect to more than one device at a time.
I've had the 1More Evo buds for over a month now,
but I didn't want to test them before
finishing any other videos on the ear buds I had before.
That's because I knew these were a premium product,
but for the past two weeks, I've been using them nonstop.
Every night I stick them in my ears.
I watch a few YouTube videos, listen to a load of music,
and at times I've even edited a few videos with them.
And since they've come out of the box, I haven't even picked up my AirPod Pros.
Now, ultimately, they do share everything in common
with other 1More ear buds from the packaging, the included
accessories, ear tips, and even the app functionality.
If you do want to learn more about that,
I'll refer to my Comfo Buds Mini review that I shared not long ago.
The sound straight out of the box is really damn good.
I was skeptical about the high res audio claims as being an iPhone user.
I can't actually take full advantage of these earbuds as I am
limited by Apple's lossless format, which streams differently.
But regardless of that fact, they sounded way better than my AirPods Pro.
The sound is richer, the bass isn't overly aggressive
and I'm hearing things I didn't before in the music that I love.
The all black look is really nice.
The case looks great with a subtle rose gold coloring
from the 1More logo onto the round hoops on the earbuds.
It still isn't the most premium quality feel, but there's a few
simple quality of life updates compared to other 1More earbuds.
For a start, the case has a flat bottom, which makes placing them down easier.
I'm not sure why most brands don't do this as it takes up less space on your shelf.
The case supports USB-C charging like most and now even includes wireless charging.
So whenever you're done listening, pop them back in the case
and just throw it on a wireless charging pad.
Overall, battery life for the buds has been really good.
I've not once ever run out of battery
when listening to music for hours on end, and that's even with the ANC turned on.
But then again, it's rare for me to have my earbuds in without
taking them off for more than three or four hours at a time.
But if you're wondering,
they are reported to have up to 28 hours of total playback, and that is insane.
Honestly, I don't even notice the battery with these
because they're always charged and ready to go.
Comfort wise, they fit snug in your ear and have plenty of size
tips for you to tailor them to yourself.
However, I did find the odd shape made fitting them a bit
annoying at times and they look a bit funny sticking out.
When my head is rested on a pillow I found them to be quite uncomfortable,
but your experience may differ as everyone has different shaped Ears.
Noise canceling, as mentioned earlier, is fantastic
and the microphones do an amazing job of creating a great transparency mode.
And it also makes phone calls really clear.
You won't have anyone complaining about you sounding like a robot with these
They're not as good as the AirPods Pro in this department, but it is very close.
Having multiple profiles is a huge step forward,
and I think no Bluetooth Earbuds should be released without it.
If you've ever used
AirPods, you know how spoiled you are when it comes to switching devices.
With the 1More Evo, you can connect to two devices at once
without having to reset your Bluetooth connection.
This makes switching from work time with my MacBook
to relaxing time on my phone so much quicker and easier.
Now let's talk about value.
At the time of recording,
these are on sale for £159.99 and they're available in black or white.
You may even find from time to time that there are money off vouchers on Amazon
making them even cheaper.
But are they worth it?
Well, let's compare them to AirPods Pro, which obviously are
the most popular earbuds in the world.
The sound quality to me surpasses the AirPods.
They're cheaper, available in more than one color support.
wireless charging, two devices can be connected at once,
and the battery life is reported to last longer.
And if you're on certain flagship Android devices, you can take
full advantage of even better quality sound with Sony's LDAC compression.
This is a huge improvement over regular Bluetooth streaming and really does
elevate them over the AirPods Pros when it comes to sound quality.
Now, they're
not perfect There are only a few things I would critique.
Gestures are limited to double and triple tap.
I think there should be more on a premium set of ear buds.
And they do not work
with Apple's Siri announcement feature, which I do love to use.
The weird shape is also something I'm not a huge fan of,
but not something I'll lose sleep over.
And the fact that they're limited on iPhones because of Apple is such a shame.
But I can't blame 1More for that, I can only blame Apple.
So ultimately I would 100% recommend these
to anyone with an Android phone, especially if it supports high res audio.
If you're an iPhone user like myself, I'd still recommend
trying them out because the multi-device support is my favorite part
along with an incredible sound and they're priced very competitively.
The only question is will people go with what is essentially a small brand in 1More
over more established brands like Sony, Apple, or Bose?
I'd honestly recommend you try them.
You'd be surprised with how good they sound.
I hope you found this review helpful.
I'm going to continue using them for the foreseeable future.
And if you'd like to pick them up
yourself, I've left a link in the description of this video.
