This video was sponsored by OneMore

2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:05,600
and they've got us checking out their Evo earbuds today.

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,760
They are available in at least white and black.

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,180
Ooh!

5
00:00:10,180 --> 00:00:13,460
And it looks like they have compacted up their case

6
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:15,560
quite a bit.

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,000
They boast 28 hours of playback time on a single charge,

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,640
eight hours on the earbuds themselves,

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,480
the other 20 in the wireless charging case.

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,520
They've got Qi charging.

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,040
They can also charge via USB-C.

12
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,200
They have antimicrobial ear tips,

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,380
which is a pretty useful feature.

14
00:00:32,380 --> 00:00:34,860
I mean, I'm not usually that concerned

15
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:38,620
with getting microbial infections from my own ears,

16
00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:41,080
but if you were to share, which I would never recommend,

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,420
I guess that could be a concern.

18
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:45,600
They offer two different types of transparency mode,

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,700
one that's just a basic transparency mode

20
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:50,980
and another that actively looks for voices.

21
00:00:50,980 --> 00:00:52,700
And they've actually got multiple tiers

22
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,280
of active noise cancellation as well.

23
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,040
So in terms of feature richness,

24
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,920
these are looking pretty darn complete.

25
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,800
They boast six microphones for rejecting ambient noise

26
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,920
when you're on a call.

27
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,240
And that's actually where I'd like to start

28
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,700
because that's a big problem that I have

29
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:08,420
with my current daily drivers, the AirPods Pros.

30
00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:10,880
Because of the highly subjective nature of audio products,

31
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,420
I should lay out that even though this is a sponsored video,

32
00:01:13,420 --> 00:01:15,760
I still can't say anything I don't believe.

33
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,620
So if I were to say these are,

34
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:21,300
in spite of looking kind of deep and bulky,

35
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,260
extremely light and comfortable,

36
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:25,780
then that would be because that's what I actually think.

37
00:01:25,780 --> 00:01:27,740
And I do need to kind of, uh,

38
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:28,740
Mark, you're going to have to try

39
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:29,940
and kind of catch me over here

40
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:31,520
because I need to lie down.

41
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,100
Really for me, the main mark

42
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:36,180
of a wireless earphones comfort

43
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:38,160
is not necessarily day to day.

44
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,520
And these are, these are, I mean,

45
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,680
these are just kind of really solid there.

46
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,580
There's no way they're coming up in my ears.

47
00:01:43,580 --> 00:01:46,460
Just even with the stock tips right out of the box,

48
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:48,820
really liking that, really lightweight,

49
00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:53,280
but can I lie on them?

50
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,190
Okay.

51
00:01:56,190 --> 00:01:57,550
Wow. Okay.

52
00:01:57,550 --> 00:01:59,900
On a hard ARM rest,

53
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,500
there's a little bit of a pressure point right here,

54
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,060
but I looked at these and I thought, wow,

55
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,140
these are going to be really uncomfortable

56
00:02:09,140 --> 00:02:10,500
and they are totally not.

57
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:13,060
Included in the box are five different size of ear tips.

58
00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:15,640
You can see them laid out here on the table in front of me,

59
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,660
as well as the USB-C charging cable.

60
00:02:17,660 --> 00:02:19,920
And of course the wireless charging case itself.

61
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,880
Let's get a quick size comparison in here.

62
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,660
Apple still sets the standard when it comes to

63
00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:26,840
super compact charging cases,

64
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,280
but you can see that one more has actually made up

65
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,060
a ton of ground.

66
00:02:33,060 --> 00:02:35,080
And when you factor in that they've actually got

67
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,420
greater battery capacity,

68
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:39,420
then at least there's a justification for it.

69
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:40,880
Unlike how it used to be.

70
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,160
They will fit comfortably in what I like to call

71
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,640
my earphone pocket, slide in and out pretty easily.

72
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,260
I was worried that this textured finish

73
00:02:48,260 --> 00:02:49,780
might be a little bit too textured,

74
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:52,220
but actually it seems not bad.

75
00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:54,920
You kind of get under it and there you go.

76
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,320
And if we want to go any further than this,

77
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,620
we kind of need to install the app,

78
00:02:57,620 --> 00:02:59,780
which conveniently I have already done.

79
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:02,780
Let's see how well their magnets guide them into,

80
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:04,060
okay, that's not bad.

81
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:05,720
Not a lot of fuss, that's nice.

82
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Every once in a while you'll encounter ones

83
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,000
where it's just like kind of finicky to get them in place.

84
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,300
So if I'm just, yeah, I want to be just kind of careless.

85
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:13,140
Let's check them in there.

86
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:14,320
Yeah, not bad actually.

87
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,260
Love how painless it is to pair these days.

88
00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:20,340
Oh, and they're Bluetooth 5.2,

89
00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:23,060
which means that they support multi-device.

90
00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:24,240
Pretty sick.

91
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,490
Really?

92
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:30,350
10 millimeter dynamic driver plus a balanced armature

93
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:32,930
driver for punchy base and smooth mids.

94
00:03:32,930 --> 00:03:36,770
I don't know if I have seen a wireless earphone design

95
00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:39,850
that's hybrid dynamic and balanced armature drivers.

96
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:41,230
Maybe I have and I just forget

97
00:03:41,230 --> 00:03:44,230
because I'm doing this for a long time, but.

98
00:03:44,230 --> 00:03:46,250
Okay, put the headphone in a comfortable position

99
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:51,110
in the ear, turn the talking mic towards the mouth

100
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:53,510
and leave the earbud uncovered.

101
00:03:53,510 --> 00:03:56,730
Oh, so there's your main microphone right there.

102
00:03:56,730 --> 00:04:00,110
And I guess this one and this one

103
00:04:00,350 --> 00:04:03,510
are both for ambient sound rejection, which makes sense.

104
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:04,830
You're gonna need an internal mic

105
00:04:04,830 --> 00:04:08,010
if you want to have any kind of chance

106
00:04:08,010 --> 00:04:09,630
of active noise cancellation.

107
00:04:09,630 --> 00:04:10,610
Okay, listening modes.

108
00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:13,030
Touch and hold for one and a half seconds.

109
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:16,410
I do wish that that auditory feedback

110
00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:20,150
for changing modes would happen once it registers.

111
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:21,750
Oh wait, it does eventually.

112
00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:24,110
So are there three different modes I'm cycling through?

113
00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:25,230
Okay, I wish it was a little faster.

114
00:04:25,230 --> 00:04:26,650
I wish it was one second.

115
00:04:26,650 --> 00:04:29,650
Okay, so let's hear transparent mode.

116
00:04:29,650 --> 00:04:30,990
This is full pass through.

117
00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:32,330
Hi, how are you guys doing?

118
00:04:32,330 --> 00:04:33,790
I'm doing good, yourself?

119
00:04:33,790 --> 00:04:37,590
I will say compared to the XM5s that we just looked at,

120
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:38,810
oh, sorry, the over the ear.

121
00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:43,810
So WH-1000XM5s, one more is not doing as good a job

122
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:47,690
of naturally passing through my surroundings to me,

123
00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:50,930
but to their credit, my voice in my own head

124
00:04:50,930 --> 00:04:54,470
sounds way more natural and it's far less off-putting.

125
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:57,210
I also don't have voice enhancement on yet.

126
00:04:57,210 --> 00:04:59,630
So can you guys hit me with a voice again?

127
00:04:59,650 --> 00:05:00,520
Hi.

128
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,900
Jono, you wanna talk to me at all?

129
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:03,400
I think you're a swell guy.

130
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,700
Oh my God, don't suck up.

131
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:06,140
I do think you're a swell guy.

132
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:08,240
I don't detect much difference between them,

133
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680
but both of them are absolutely usable.

134
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,940
It's nice to have easy access

135
00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:14,240
to just no active noise cancellation.

136
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,820
That can help you save some battery

137
00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:18,260
if you just want to passively block out noise.

138
00:05:18,260 --> 00:05:21,860
They are IEMs and there's no actual air channel

139
00:05:21,860 --> 00:05:23,120
through them or anything like that.

140
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,540
So they will naturally block a lot of the surrounding noise.

141
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:29,600
And then ANC is gonna take that to another level.

142
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,580
By default, they're on strong.

143
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:35,520
And I can tell you that quieted down

144
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,860
basically all of the ambient noise here.

145
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:40,220
No strong pressure sensation,

146
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:44,480
but even their strong is not the strongest I've encountered.

147
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,220
I can say that much already.

148
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:51,200
Now, the thing about clapping is that any ANC

149
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,700
is gonna have trouble with that,

150
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:55,880
but you'll still be able to take some of the edge off of it.

151
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,600
I will say that it is surprising how far we've come

152
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,560
for anything other than an Apple

153
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,000
or a Bose product for active noise cancellation performance.

154
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Like we are gonna need to do a serious ANC roundup.

155
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Once we've got our dummy head working and all of that,

156
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,140
guys, check out that LTT video.

157
00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:13,280
It's coming very soon.

158
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,800
We're gonna be benchmarking like $40,000 dummy heads

159
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,740
for testing acoustic equipment.

160
00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:19,680
Sound ID.

161
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Oh, this is that personalization thing.

162
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,740
Choose the sound you like.

163
00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:26,140
This is a really cool way of doing this.

164
00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:29,840
So it plays around with the EQ a little bit.

165
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,340
And then you just A, B, choose which one you like.

166
00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:36,260
And then it kind of dials it down and dials it down.

167
00:06:36,260 --> 00:06:40,000
We're at the point now where they are extremely close.

168
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,730
Okay.

169
00:06:41,730 --> 00:06:44,810
Let's see what my sound signature is.

170
00:06:44,810 --> 00:06:46,490
Obviously that could be genre specific,

171
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:48,570
but they actually do a pretty good job of providing

172
00:06:48,570 --> 00:06:52,210
at least a handful of different genres for you to choose from.

173
00:06:52,210 --> 00:06:54,530
It's now personalized.

174
00:06:54,530 --> 00:06:55,370
Okay.

175
00:06:57,420 --> 00:06:59,590
Well, what does this mean?

176
00:06:59,590 --> 00:07:01,090
Are you gonna show me what my, like,

177
00:07:01,090 --> 00:07:02,890
EQ is?

178
00:07:02,890 --> 00:07:04,250
Oh, well that's lame.

179
00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:06,370
Okay. Well, there's a bit of feedback that I would provide.

180
00:07:06,370 --> 00:07:09,470
I'd like to see what kind of EQ I ended up choosing.

181
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:10,530
Sure.

182
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:15,290
How about some ABBA?

183
00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:19,020
ABBA is a really cool way

184
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:22,630
for any idiot normie

185
00:07:22,630 --> 00:07:26,590
to go through and dial in a customized EQ.

186
00:07:26,590 --> 00:07:27,990
Because the reality of it is

187
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:32,010
between two similarly priced headphones,

188
00:07:32,010 --> 00:07:34,970
a lot of the time you can make up a lot of the difference

189
00:07:34,970 --> 00:07:38,350
between them by EQ-ing too much bass out

190
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:42,830
or by EQ-ing down some of the sparkle and the highs.

191
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:45,650
And so by just having this simple little setup process

192
00:07:45,650 --> 00:07:47,470
that's really intuitive,

193
00:07:47,470 --> 00:07:50,360
these just sound really good.

194
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,880
How much do they cost anyway?

195
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,040
170 bucks.

196
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,600
Okay. So they're priced right up there

197
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,020
with what you would expect for a pair

198
00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:58,440
of feature rich wireless in-ears.

199
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,280
But honestly, like I see a ton of value

200
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,500
in that particular aspect of the software,

201
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:04,740
more than just about anything else.

202
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:06,900
Like they sound great

203
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:08,440
because I tuned them to make sure

204
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,880
they would sound great to me.

205
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,860
I ended up making it all the way through the video

206
00:08:11,860 --> 00:08:13,960
before remembering to do this test call

207
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,800
to check out the mic.

208
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,660
So, hey John, are you recording the call?

209
00:08:16,660 --> 00:08:18,200
Yep. I am recording.

210
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,820
Well, I would ask how I sound,

211
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:21,300
but honestly it's kind of irrelevant

212
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:22,580
because we're going to let the audience decide

213
00:08:22,580 --> 00:08:24,260
for themselves how I sound.

214
00:08:24,260 --> 00:08:25,880
You sound great though.

215
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,140
Thank you. You sound fantastic.

216
00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:29,000
Thank you.

217
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,300
I mean, in fairness,

218
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:32,760
there's not actually a whole lot of like ambient noise

219
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,740
around me right now though.

220
00:08:33,740 --> 00:08:34,580
Do we even...

221
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,640
Do we really have anything

222
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,020
that makes a ton of noise at the moment?

223
00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:39,540
Mark kind of makes a lot of noise.

224
00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:40,740
Mark, okay.

225
00:08:40,740 --> 00:08:41,980
That's not the kind of noise though.

226
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,540
It has to be like traffic noise, like that kind of thing.

227
00:08:44,540 --> 00:08:45,880
Okay. Here's something.

228
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,380
I can rattle this chain.

229
00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:51,980
Okay. So I'm talking to you

230
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:56,020
while I am raising a bay door.

231
00:08:56,020 --> 00:08:57,120
I don't know.

232
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,560
I don't know how much this is making a difference or not.

233
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:00,640
Okay, cool.

234
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,380
So that's kind of what it's supposed to sound like.

235
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:04,960
And then whatever Jono has

236
00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:08,040
decided is what it's managing to subtract from it.

237
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,900
No, they're not IE 600s,

238
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:11,380
which we checked out recently.

239
00:09:11,380 --> 00:09:12,480
Guys, you can check that video out

240
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,400
if you're looking for something else to watch,

241
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,020
but they also aren't intended to be.

242
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:17,880
They don't have a wire.

243
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,160
It would also be really nice if it spat out the EQ

244
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,960
and then, you know how it says,

245
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,600
hey, you should listen to some music and try it out.

246
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,640
So it should spit out your EQ,

247
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,020
then allow you to play some music and fine tune things

248
00:09:33,020 --> 00:09:34,880
so that you can find something that works across

249
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,720
the different genres that you like.

250
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,740
I definitely didn't leave enough in the highs

251
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:41,260
for music like this, for example.

252
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:42,960
Still tons of potential.

253
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,700
Just like you have the potential to subscribe.

254
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:46,480
Thanks one more for sponsoring this video

255
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,760
and thanks to you for watching.

256
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,600
See you soon.
