now i do review quite a few TWS ear buds and many that have anc but every now and then there is a
pair that really does stand out and it's these for me right now are the one more evos definitely a
standout peritoneus earbuds for their features sound quality and overall build and what is on
offer here so this model has anc various different levels up to 42 decibels of noise cancellation
we have six microphones and those microphones are used for noise cancellation for calls too as well
it does have a runtime on a single charge of up to five and a half hours with anc on with anc off up
to eight hours and then with the case you do get an additional two and a half charges with anc on
or off okay they're still going to get those two and a half charges now the sound quality
is where it does really stand out for me it's tuned by a grammy award-winning sound engineer
and we do have with this a 10 millimeter driver handling the lows in the mids and a balanced
armature which of course is going to be handling the highs and the tune of it is super balanced and
one of the best that my ears have heard in quite some time included with the evos you'll find a
type a to type c cable so charge time for the cases two hours for the earbuds is one hour
and we do have some additional silicon tips there so it's important you find a size that is going to
fit your ears the best there so you get the best possible seal for the active noise cancellation
and also the sound quality i just wanted to point this out too inside the box i think it's
quite cool that they have included this so this is from the full-time grammy award-winning sound
engineer luca and you can see they put some little sketches in here of them which is a nice added
touch evos do come in two colors there's white or black and i think this white one looks very
nice so we have a status led right here the lid is closed magnetically it stays shut and the earbuds
inside if you move it there's no rattling like some other cases which i do find annoying on
the back we have a type c port when you open it up they pair up pretty much straight away we've got a
button here to reset it now because it's running bluetooth 5.2 tech you can actually pair these
up with two different devices there's a status led on each one of the earbuds you can see as
it's peering up there and the overall quality of this case is excellent and the evos do support qi
wireless charging standards so you simply place it on a wireless charging mat and you'll see the
status led comes on and it does start to charge it will take a little bit longer than cable charging
but it is more convenient these earbuds do have a very good design and they're packing on a lot
of features so we do have a sensor here that it has an auto play and stop so if you remove them
it'll stop the music once you put them back in it'll go again which is handy to have in
a microphone here there's an outer microphone at the top here this is the capacitive touch surface
this is where you would tap to for example go to the next track and you can control the volume too
via these but you need to customize that to set it up through the app so there are customizable
touch controls which is good and then you'll see that we've got a little microphone there too so
there's three microphones on each of them in total this one down here is dedicated more to the voice
calls when you're placing voice calls it also applies noise cancellation and then that active
noise cancelling is using all six of them in total so excellent finish there are no sharp edges with
the join of the plastic right here the silicon tips haven't loosened up on me now or got a little
bit softer or anything like that in my week of testing them and we do have a metal filter right
inside there and those there are the pogo port contacts for charging them when it's in the case
the evos do support the ldac codec now that kodak streams at a very high bit rate
really improves the quality so if your phone supports it you definitely want to be using the
audit codec otherwise it has aac sbc which is more of a fullback coded if if you're on android but do
try and use aac at least for these of course to get the good sound quality that these do deliver
so what about our playback time so the earbuds themselves with anc on i get just over five
hours with anc off you're able to get up to eight hours the case will give us an additional
20 hours of active noise cancellation playback time or if you're not using the anc it will give
us an additional 28 hours now the evos to my ears these sound absolutely fantastic they've gone for
a very balanced tune i don't find the bass to be overpowering i don't find it to mess around with
the mids at all we've got a 10 millimeter driver in these then with a balanced armature so the
balanced armature is handling all of the highs and as a result the highs sound super detailed they're
crisp rock music especially sounds great vocals are very good and if you want it the 10 millimeter
driver does deliver some great mids and very deep bass you can tweak that of course with equalizers
i use here power amp but i'm just listening to it at the moment all sorts of genres of music but
with a default equalizer so it's completely flat with this i haven't changed it at all and that's
why i say that these do have i think an excellent tune balanced and just super high quality sound
that's coming out of these the evos have to be this year's best i i think that i've listened to
especially when it comes to the sound stage and just the general tune out of the box speaking of
tune it can be tweaked even further through the one more application so when you first boot this
up there is a questionnaire to personalize the sound to your tastes which is great
and it is a global equalizer so it doesn't matter if whatever music app you're using
you've got an equalizer there you don't need to use that so it can be for netflix and everything
else connected of course to these earbuds so you do have here a option for the smart playback to
disable that that's using that sensor so when it detects it's in your ears the music will continue
when you pull them out the music will stop custom settings i've made a bit of a change here myself
to this so triple tap now i have the volume up and down which is great and you can see we do
have these other options so i like that level of customization that you don't normally get with
other brands other brands won't even have an app they push through firmware updates so there's one
that's already comes through so even before these are officially released they had a pre-release
firmware they've improved upon the sound quality the signature of them and tweak things like the
microphones which is really good to see that they're on to this and they can fix anything
and tweak it once they get that feedback coming through push out firmware updates there are some
guides there and soothing sounds which is basic ambient noises like rain or storms or things like
that to help you sleep and relax which is another little bonus that it does have this app and you
can sit there the listening modes with the anc transparency mode or just have it off completely
microphone quality now with the evos so they do have some active noise cancellation and i've got a
fan from a pc a desktop pc that's it going in the background we shouldn't be able to hear that and i
do find that the microphone quality that we're getting with the one more evos is excellent so
voice calls that are placed with this i have not had any problems and this is on the latest new
firmware and latency this used to be a problem but it's really a thing of the past now with
modern bluetooth 5.2 and the newer tech coming through so the evo's watching an episode here
of vikings valhalla it's all in sync with their mouths perfectly i can't see any problems now this
is with a snapdragon 8 gen 1 powered phone mind you if i use my iphone there's a little bit of
a delay now gaming is the only area where i see and a tiny little split second of latency there
it's not super annoying but some people may detect it but here with streaming like amazon prime video
netflix no problems at all with the latency so as soon as you open the case they pair up and
they're very easy to fit so put them in give them a little bit of a twist you get the beep
beep confrontation that it has connected up and you can see they don't stick out my ears too much
uh fatigue-wise i get a little bit after about four hours of listening to music with these which
is pretty standard there that's like with any other inner ears a little bit of pressure there
from the silicon tips but i do have a very good seal and i don't feel like they're going to fall
out on me so when i'm walking around i go up down the stairs here uh standard kind of things i don't
feel like i have to keep doing that which i can't say about other tdrs earbuds some of them always
feel like they're going to drop out and i have to keep doing that not these ones once i put them in
the fit seems to be very good for me now i haven't gone for a run testing
them out because these aren't really sports earbuds i wouldn't be doing sports with them
but they do have an ipx rating so it's just sweat and splashes and things like that is not going to
be a problem for them so you can do that if you want but i just think this kind of fit without
the air hooks might have that potential to drop out or feel like it's going to drop out on you
so anc yes it's there it is powerful compared to other models that i have reviewed and i've covered
so they claim 42 decibels is the noise reduction ambient noise reduction there now i've got
no way to measure that at all however compared to the other models you can certainly tell that it is
quite powerful for inner ears that is you can hear that light white noise the hissing noise that's
going on in the background when it is activated and cycling through the different modes so it's
got a pass-through mode it tends to work quite well now it just makes a beat noise as you go
through them but i really wish that one more if they could add a voice confirmation to tell us
like it could say anc strong mode anc mild anc wind noise uh pass through mode that would be a
little bit more handy even though what you put it on the password mode you know straight away when
you're on it because you can suddenly hear things a lot better i've noticed that if you especially
are outside when you have the pass-through mode on you want to hear traffic or announcements for
example in a train station bus station whatever you do hear a bit of wind noise come through with
those mics that's one thing i picked up on that the wind noise is amplified you get a lot of it
but you don't get it if you use the active noise cancelling modes for listening to the music it's
only when you have it in that pass-through mode so disconnections have i had any problems i'm
in a busy noisy 2.4 gigahertz environment which these do run on so bluetooth frequency there and
other bluetooth apps and tech around so i've got keyboard mice phones all that sort of stuff no
problems with the connections the range on these seems pretty standard so it's about 10 meters five
more than that about eight meters or so that they start to break out one of these but i can go
and leave my phone here go downstairs and even a bit outside and it's still working and then
one of the ears might disconnect and i realized that oh i haven't actually got my phone on me so
that is good and then let's talk about the tune of these this is one of the key things why would go
for the one more evos fantastic tune just so balanced you get detailed crisp highs that
you don't get with other brands you've got the vocals that really do stand out they're clear
soundstage is great the bass um it's not overpowering which is something that i can't tell
about a lot of other tunes of terrorist tech that i get that they're just too much bass the lows are
just boosted up way too high but not here they are balanced a very good tune to my ears and of course
using an equalizer if your personal preference is more base more lows then you can just boost
that up and and that's that's good but for me the training out of the box is is something i really
don't want to mess with it's good i think it is good especially for rock lovers out there rock
music those highs so detailed from the balanced armature but we still get powerful bass when you
want it if you're listening to other genres so all up these are quality very high quality
heroes earbuds we've got wireless charging from the case l deck support now i wanted to mention
ldac that i couldn't test it out with my phones here i couldn't get it to actually show that it
was running on the ldac codec i was running on aac so i'm not too sure what's up with that because
other brands or even from one more i'm pretty sure i could run ldac with some of their other
ones the dual driver pro that i tested out a long time ago so i'm not too sure what's up with that
it could just be a firmware thing they do have firmware updates with the application of course
application you can tweak the sound you can change a few other settings he's also got that auto
pause feature so much on offer good sound quality battery run time is on a single charge with a anc
on average so it's only about five hours is all i'm able to get out of them but if you don't use
the anc all the time it's up to eight hours which is definitely fine and acceptable even five five
is not too bad and you do get extra two and a half charges out of these so they are a solid offering
from them they get a big thumbs up from me for all of those things i mentioned the features the
sound quality the tune definitely there and i do have to see in the next one bye for now
