Time to call back to the 2019 year before the epidemic, magic acoustics' first noise-canceling bean was glimpsed at CES. It is not only the flagship of 1MORE true wireless headphones, but also the first TWS with ANC noise reduction, and its previous noise reduction products are mainly anchored with collar iron. Therefore, it is a milestone in a number of product lines. Since then, noise reduction has been popularized in the field of true wireless and has gradually become standard. After three years, the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry field, the true wireless under the technological innovation can not be the same as that year. And 1MORE's second-generation new noise-canceling bean EVO also comes with the much-anticipated model, whether it can become a new benchmark for true wireless noise-canceling headphones in the industry, let's see and taste it:
1. Unboxing:
The packaging of the EVO is contrary to the previous common gray and white box design, and it has turned into an earlier black magnetic display page gift box, and the headphones under the one-go seal painting have been specially brightened. The red and gold markings on the left side are nameplates and Hi-Res certification marks.
Close-up of the magnetic flap clasp of the brushing process:
The words QI (Wireless Charging) and LDAC are printed on the side, and it won the CES Award that year.
In the process of opening the package, the draft pattern on the "title page" is revealed, but here I suggest that you can add a Chinese description with the detailed design, so that the user will have an intuitive understanding of its characteristics before using the headset.
Second, the comparison:
EVO is an abbreviation for "evolution", meaning evolution. The new noise reduction bean is named after this, which is both simple and powerful, and direct enough to show the public the confidence of accumulating efforts in one product over the years, so it is also more full of expectations.
The bottom of the charging chamber is a single silicone pad that guarantees a firmness when placed on the table top (increased friction) without wearing out the fuselage. In the sunlight, the mat is printed with various parameter information. It is worth mentioning that EVO supports Qi wireless charging. In this way, when we work indoors, we can directly put it on the mouse pad, charger and even mobile power supply with wireless charging function, and pick it up to be "full of blood" and use it at any time.
The biggest difference between the EVO and the previous generation of noise-canceling beans is that although the similar flat body has a natural flow linear design with a curvature, the cabin body volume of the new noise-canceling beans is about one-third smaller. Holding it in the palm of the hand is more petite, and it is no problem to carry it in the pants pocket and pocket, which is convenient for daily carrying.
The exterior design of the EVO headset cabin will have a kind and familiar feeling for friends who have used 1MORE's various real wireless beans. The alloy shell is responsible for lifting the identity of the machine and the metallic texture, and the delicate spray paint process on the surface is particularly skin-friendly and smooth in the hand. The gilded LOGO is embedded in it, which is more dazzling than the dark engraved nameplate of the old noise-cancelling bean. Whether it is the appearance, or the size, or even the grip opening and closing, everything is so simple and clean, and just right.
Third, the charging chamber:
In terms of contents, in addition to various color pieces of paper, there are 3+ 1 pairs of silicone ear tips of different sizes, Type-C port charging short lines. It is a pity that only the storage bag that was delivered earlier was missing. Let's take a direct look at the headphone body:
In fact, in addition to the "gilded black" in my hand, the color of this headset is also "snow porcelain white" to choose from. However, I prefer the pure black series, which is low-key and stable enough, and it is good to match with the same color EDC around me.
In terms of one-handed perception, the moment the hatch is opened, unlike the frosted and dull cabin, a pair of headphones are juxtaposed, like a pair of smart cat eyes, and the "eyes" in the middle reflect your figure. Playing with it in your hand will have a sense of "pearls and jade". I believe that even girls will love it. It is worth mentioning that the headphones and the charging compartment use a unified color matching, whether it is the same black fuselage, or the gold color of the panel frame, pickup holes and catheter filters, they are coordinated and complement each other.
Details determine success or failure, and 1MORE's polishing of details is intimate enough. The lid is concave, and the nails can be easily opened by force when the lid is flapped. Speaking of endurance, EVO is not only smaller and lighter than the previous generation, but also has done a lot of "durable" aspects. First of all, its total battery life can reach 28 hours, which is calculated by using 4 hours per day, which is just enough to meet the needs of a week's commute. In addition, in order to alleviate the pressure of battery life, it also supports Qi wireless charging and fast charging functions (charging for 15 minutes, continuous use for 4 hours). Even with noise reduction turned on, it can be used for up to 20 hours.
The USB-C port in the middle of the back is also deliberately made of the "red tongue" design, plus the dark gold LOGO, so that the cabin as a whole is a little more refined, not too dull and monotonous. The headset is IPX4 waterproof, and the daily sweat and rain are not a big deal.
1MORE's workmanship has always been solid, and this EVO cabin body is tightly seamed, smooth and comfortable to the touch. The headphone compartment is magnetically tight and does not shake. When the earbuds are stored, the angle will be deliberately raised, and the headphones can be picked up and placed easily by gently dialing up. Wearing, the EVO single ear weighs only 5.7 grams, which fits naturally and can also be worn as a delicate and fashionable embellishment next to the ear. The shaking produced by the intense, large-scale exercise will not make it fall off, and office workers who have been crowding the bus and subway for a long time do not have to worry about being squeezed out.
Fourth, noise reduction beans:
The headphones are bean-shaped and fit naturally and firmly with the pinna. The size of the EVO is small and exquisite, the size is also greatly reduced compared to the previous generation, and the appearance of the headphones is very resistant. Some people compare it to a water droplet, but it is also appropriate, and the 3D ceramic back cover is full and round, bright and recognizable. The logo in the middle is faintly visible. The bronzed metal trim is the finishing touch. At the same time, due to the high hardness, there will be no scratches, and there will be no interference from electromagnetic signals.
The headphones are also surrounded by pickup holes and infrared sensing, the former is used to pick up ambient noise for better call effects and a more immersive listening atmosphere; the latter can be used to automatically stop playing, take off the song will stop playing, plug the ear to continue, or very convenient.
Each of the 1MORE EVO headphones is equipped with "feed-back" dual-microphone active noise cancellation (QuietMax intelligent noise cancellation), which can reduce noise to a depth of up to 42dB. As a result, it has also obtained double premium/A-class noise reduction certifications from SGS and CAIS. There are three microphones arranged in front, rear and side of the headset, the feed-in microphone is used to pick up ambient noise, and the feedback microphone is to eliminate in-ear noise, and the call microphone is high-definition dialogue. The whole machine has a total of six microphones of omnidirectional, with the DNN deep neural network algorithm, the actual measurement can still achieve clear calls and smooth communication in noisy environments such as supermarkets, downtowns, bus stations and so on.
The touch of the headset is still very sensitive, double-click broadcast/temporary, long touch can switch between different noise reduction modes. We can also customize the operations such as switching tracks, playing/pausing, answering/hanging up, etc. through the APP. Of course, more interesting is that the EVO also supports "voice control", in the laboratory can open voice control, directly free hands, but in terms of actual experience, the current hot words are still relatively small, but support fuzzy word commands, there is still a certain delay in the use of the process, but basically can be accurately identified.
V. Experience:
In terms of sounding unit, the headphones adopt the same dynamic coil + moving iron dual-unit structure as the previous generation, which is composed of low-distortion moving iron and DLC diamond diaphragm. Its high-frequency extension range can reach 40,000Hz, so it can also capture richer sound detail. EVO uses The Bluetooth 5.2 version, while the wireless audio format it supports supports Qualcomm's APTX and Sony's LDAC (96KHz/24bit), and is certified by Hi-Res Wireless. In addition, like the well-known Grammy Master Tuning standard, there is not much to say, and I personally think that the most noteworthy thing is the application of Sound ID intelligent personalized sound effects. And EVO can also connect two devices at the same time, which is still very friendly for dual-machine party members or friends who are used to switching mobile phones and tablets.
The first use will list the songs, and you need to choose your favorite tracks from them. Then you can start the test, and the two options A and B will appear at any time in the process for you to compare and choose. After a few rounds, you'll generate a "My Sound ID" that matches your listening style. The equivalent of a personalized EQ adjustment.
The headset has three listening modes, which are off by default, so you can also hear the ambient sounds of your surroundings, especially the human voice, when listening to audio. We can turn on ambient transparency or vocal enhancement in transparency mode. In this way, wearing headphones, you can also know the surrounding situation and the sound of speech. In terms of noise reduction, the EVO has four noise reduction modes: depth, comfort, adaptability and wind noise resistance. As mentioned earlier, 1MORE EVO has 42dB depth noise reduction, plus its own physical sound insulation effect is not bad, after turning on the depth of noise reduction, even in the noisy supermarket store, although the surrounding environment sound into the ear, but the sound is "weakened" almost nowhere, listen to the music or audio program sound content can be heard clearly and clearly, do not have to deliberately increase the volume to immerse themselves. As a text worker, I usually use a mechanical keyboard to code words, and after wearing headphones to turn on noise reduction, the crisp tapping sound of the keyboard is excluded. More attentive typing.
The new noise reduction bean EVO is no longer just a simple and rough division of noise reduction strength and weakness, but according to the different environments and scenes when used, to intelligently adjust the ideal listening state. This is the so-called "all-scene intelligent dynamic noise reduction". When we are in a windy weather or riding, the oncoming wind will produce a whistling noise, at this time to open the "anti-wind noise" can eliminate this whistle; and when taking a vehicle (bus, subway, plane) can switch to "deep noise reduction (noise reduction depth of 42dB)", can block uncomfortable mechanical sounds and noise, more able to enjoy the music quietly, even with the music for a while is not bad.
Comfort noise reduction is more "soft", it reduces the noise of the surrounding environment, but also does not "isolate from the world." It is easy to use when in the office, the street, the milk tea/coffee shop, etc., balance the ear pressure, and the sound is comfortable. Dynamic noise reduction is very interesting, it does not require the user to switch back and forth, you can "put yourself in the shoes" of the environment to automatically set a more comfortable depth of noise reduction. This is also the one I use most often. In addition, in the actual measurement, the sound quality before and after the noise reduction is turned on has not changed. There is also no discomfort in the ears.
Although there are still many true wireless headphones on the market that claim to have active noise cancellation functions, there are still quite a few, but in terms of actual comparison at hand, the comprehensive effect is presented. EVO can be invincible within a thousand yuan. Among other competitors, either the depth of noise reduction is not enough; or the noise reduction subdivision function is too small, and many only have a noise reduction turned on, and even there is no strong and weak gear. In terms of depth, breadth and convenience of noise reduction, EVO is unparalleled. It allows users to enjoy the sound journey while bringing appropriate comfort.
In terms of listening, the EVO is also worthy of the flagship level. Its three-frequency connection is natural, balanced and smooth. The performance of the low frequency is excellent, the sense of volume is abundant, the elastic foot is enough, and the diving is also deep. The sound is delicate and stretched, and it is not thin and dull. Both thickness and strength have excellent control.
The mid-frequency is well-layered, the sound is mellow, and the sound base is clean. The vocals are full and mid-straight, and while the ears are close, the tooth sounds are also well controlled. Whether it is Cheng Bi's folk songs with sound, Wang Feng's rock and roll that sways with it, or Wang Ruolin's lazy and charming jazz music, it can have just the right interpretation and have a good listening. Listening to Wang's "No Time to Dry", the mix of electronic music, heavy metal, and blues on the arrangement is rhythmic, the prelude of the music box sampling, warm and quiet, when the sudden guitar and drums come in, the strong sense of contrast formed by the sharp turn burst into the ears, and the emotional catharsis is effectively released. When listening to Tong Li's "Full Moon West Building", the emotional place is clean and neat, without dragging mud and water.
The high-frequency part is transparent and bright, the details are accurately restored in place, and there is a certain amount of information. Analytical force and extension are also relatively good. Overall, the tuning quality of 1MORE EVO is suitable for listening to popular pop, rock jazz and other genres. The upgrade has brought a lot of improvements, even in the same price of headphones is also an outstanding existence.
Summary: As a comprehensive evolution of 1MORE after three years, the comprehensive performance of the new noise-cancelling bean EVO is undoubtedly sincere. Slightly older, it is smaller in size, higher in appearance, longer in battery life and richer in functions. In particular, for its main "intelligent noise reduction", not only more modes, but also can be dynamically switched according to different scenes and environments when using. This is undoubtedly very attractive for business people and commuters. In addition, its sound quality is also surprising, and the materials and workmanship are also the style of the factory. It can be called a fine product in domestic products, and it can stand out in a group of noise-reducing TWS, and it is highly recommended by individuals.
