00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:02.500
This video was sponsored by OneMore

00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:05.600
and they've got us checking out their Evo earbuds today.

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:07.760
They are available in at least white and black.

00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:10.180
Ooh!

00:00:10.180 --> 00:00:13.460
And it looks like they have compacted up their case

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:15.560
quite a bit.

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:20.000
They boast 28 hours of playback time on a single charge,

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.640
eight hours on the earbuds themselves,

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.480
the other 20 in the wireless charging case.

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:25.520
They've got Qi charging.

00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:28.040
They can also charge via USB-C.

00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:30.200
They have antimicrobial ear tips,

00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:32.380
which is a pretty useful feature.

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:34.860
I mean, I'm not usually that concerned

00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:38.620
with getting microbial infections from my own ears,

00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:41.080
but if you were to share, which I would never recommend,

00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:42.420
I guess that could be a concern.

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:45.600
They offer two different types of transparency mode,

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.700
one that's just a basic transparency mode

00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:50.980
and another that actively looks for voices.

00:00:50.980 --> 00:00:52.700
And they've actually got multiple tiers

00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:54.280
of active noise cancellation as well.

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.040
So in terms of feature richness,

00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:57.920
these are looking pretty darn complete.

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.800
They boast six microphones for rejecting ambient noise

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:02.920
when you're on a call.

00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.240
And that's actually where I'd like to start

00:01:04.240 --> 00:01:05.700
because that's a big problem that I have

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.420
with my current daily drivers, the AirPods Pros.

00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:10.880
Because of the highly subjective nature of audio products,

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:13.420
I should lay out that even though this is a sponsored video,

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:15.760
I still can't say anything I don't believe.

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.620
So if I were to say these are,

00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:21.300
in spite of looking kind of deep and bulky,

00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:23.260
extremely light and comfortable,

00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:25.780
then that would be because that's what I actually think.

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:27.740
And I do need to kind of, uh,

00:01:27.740 --> 00:01:28.740
Mark, you're going to have to try

00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:29.940
and kind of catch me over here

00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:31.520
because I need to lie down.

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:34.100
Really for me, the main mark

00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:36.180
of a wireless earphones comfort

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:38.160
is not necessarily day to day.

00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:39.520
And these are, these are, I mean,

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:41.680
these are just kind of really solid there.

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.580
There's no way they're coming up in my ears.

00:01:43.580 --> 00:01:46.460
Just even with the stock tips right out of the box,

00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:48.820
really liking that, really lightweight,

00:01:48.820 --> 00:01:53.280
but can I lie on them?

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.190
Okay.

00:01:56.190 --> 00:01:57.550
Wow. Okay.

00:01:57.550 --> 00:01:59.900
On a hard ARM rest,

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:04.500
there's a little bit of a pressure point right here,

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:07.060
but I looked at these and I thought, wow,

00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:09.140
these are going to be really uncomfortable

00:02:09.140 --> 00:02:10.500
and they are totally not.

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:13.060
Included in the box are five different size of ear tips.

00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:15.640
You can see them laid out here on the table in front of me,

00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:17.660
as well as the USB-C charging cable.

00:02:17.660 --> 00:02:19.920
And of course the wireless charging case itself.

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:21.880
Let's get a quick size comparison in here.

00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:24.660
Apple still sets the standard when it comes to

00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:26.840
super compact charging cases,

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.280
but you can see that one more has actually made up

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.060
a ton of ground.

00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:35.080
And when you factor in that they've actually got

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:36.420
greater battery capacity,

00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:39.420
then at least there's a justification for it.

00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:40.880
Unlike how it used to be.

00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:43.160
They will fit comfortably in what I like to call

00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:46.640
my earphone pocket, slide in and out pretty easily.

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:48.260
I was worried that this textured finish

00:02:48.260 --> 00:02:49.780
might be a little bit too textured,

00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:52.220
but actually it seems not bad.

00:02:52.220 --> 00:02:54.920
You kind of get under it and there you go.

00:02:54.920 --> 00:02:56.320
And if we want to go any further than this,

00:02:56.320 --> 00:02:57.620
we kind of need to install the app,

00:02:57.620 --> 00:02:59.780
which conveniently I have already done.

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:02.780
Let's see how well their magnets guide them into,

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:04.060
okay, that's not bad.

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:05.720
Not a lot of fuss, that's nice.

00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:07.200
Every once in a while you'll encounter ones

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:10.000
where it's just like kind of finicky to get them in place.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.300
So if I'm just, yeah, I want to be just kind of careless.

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:13.140
Let's check them in there.

00:03:13.140 --> 00:03:14.320
Yeah, not bad actually.

00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:18.260
Love how painless it is to pair these days.

00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:20.340
Oh, and they're Bluetooth 5.2,

00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:23.060
which means that they support multi-device.

00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:24.240
Pretty sick.

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.490
Really?

00:03:25.490 --> 00:03:30.350
10 millimeter dynamic driver plus a balanced armature

00:03:30.350 --> 00:03:32.930
driver for punchy base and smooth mids.

00:03:32.930 --> 00:03:36.770
I don't know if I have seen a wireless earphone design

00:03:36.770 --> 00:03:39.850
that's hybrid dynamic and balanced armature drivers.

00:03:39.850 --> 00:03:41.230
Maybe I have and I just forget

00:03:41.230 --> 00:03:44.230
because I'm doing this for a long time, but.

00:03:44.230 --> 00:03:46.250
Okay, put the headphone in a comfortable position

00:03:46.250 --> 00:03:51.110
in the ear, turn the talking mic towards the mouth

00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:53.510
and leave the earbud uncovered.

00:03:53.510 --> 00:03:56.730
Oh, so there's your main microphone right there.

00:03:56.730 --> 00:04:00.110
And I guess this one and this one

00:04:00.350 --> 00:04:03.510
are both for ambient sound rejection, which makes sense.

00:04:03.510 --> 00:04:04.830
You're gonna need an internal mic

00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:08.010
if you want to have any kind of chance

00:04:08.010 --> 00:04:09.630
of active noise cancellation.

00:04:09.630 --> 00:04:10.610
Okay, listening modes.

00:04:10.610 --> 00:04:13.030
Touch and hold for one and a half seconds.

00:04:13.030 --> 00:04:16.410
I do wish that that auditory feedback

00:04:16.410 --> 00:04:20.150
for changing modes would happen once it registers.

00:04:20.150 --> 00:04:21.750
Oh wait, it does eventually.

00:04:21.750 --> 00:04:24.110
So are there three different modes I'm cycling through?

00:04:24.110 --> 00:04:25.230
Okay, I wish it was a little faster.

00:04:25.230 --> 00:04:26.650
I wish it was one second.

00:04:26.650 --> 00:04:29.650
Okay, so let's hear transparent mode.

00:04:29.650 --> 00:04:30.990
This is full pass through.

00:04:30.990 --> 00:04:32.330
Hi, how are you guys doing?

00:04:32.330 --> 00:04:33.790
I'm doing good, yourself?

00:04:33.790 --> 00:04:37.590
I will say compared to the XM5s that we just looked at,

00:04:37.590 --> 00:04:38.810
oh, sorry, the over the ear.

00:04:38.810 --> 00:04:43.810
So WH-1000XM5s, one more is not doing as good a job

00:04:43.810 --> 00:04:47.690
of naturally passing through my surroundings to me,

00:04:47.690 --> 00:04:50.930
but to their credit, my voice in my own head

00:04:50.930 --> 00:04:54.470
sounds way more natural and it's far less off-putting.

00:04:54.470 --> 00:04:57.210
I also don't have voice enhancement on yet.

00:04:57.210 --> 00:04:59.630
So can you guys hit me with a voice again?

00:04:59.650 --> 00:05:00.520
Hi.

00:05:00.520 --> 00:05:01.900
Jono, you wanna talk to me at all?

00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:03.400
I think you're a swell guy.

00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:04.700
Oh my God, don't suck up.

00:05:04.700 --> 00:05:06.140
I do think you're a swell guy.

00:05:06.140 --> 00:05:08.240
I don't detect much difference between them,

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.680
but both of them are absolutely usable.

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:11.940
It's nice to have easy access

00:05:11.940 --> 00:05:14.240
to just no active noise cancellation.

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.820
That can help you save some battery

00:05:15.820 --> 00:05:18.260
if you just want to passively block out noise.

00:05:18.260 --> 00:05:21.860
They are IEMs and there's no actual air channel

00:05:21.860 --> 00:05:23.120
through them or anything like that.

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.540
So they will naturally block a lot of the surrounding noise.

00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:29.600
And then ANC is gonna take that to another level.

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.580
By default, they're on strong.

00:05:32.580 --> 00:05:35.520
And I can tell you that quieted down

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.860
basically all of the ambient noise here.

00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:40.220
No strong pressure sensation,

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:44.480
but even their strong is not the strongest I've encountered.

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.220
I can say that much already.

00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:51.200
Now, the thing about clapping is that any ANC

00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:52.700
is gonna have trouble with that,

00:05:52.700 --> 00:05:55.880
but you'll still be able to take some of the edge off of it.

00:05:55.880 --> 00:05:58.600
I will say that it is surprising how far we've come

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.560
for anything other than an Apple

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.000
or a Bose product for active noise cancellation performance.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.920
Like we are gonna need to do a serious ANC roundup.

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.120
Once we've got our dummy head working and all of that,

00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.140
guys, check out that LTT video.

00:06:12.140 --> 00:06:13.280
It's coming very soon.

00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:16.800
We're gonna be benchmarking like $40,000 dummy heads

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.740
for testing acoustic equipment.

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:19.680
Sound ID.

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.080
Oh, this is that personalization thing.

00:06:22.080 --> 00:06:23.740
Choose the sound you like.

00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:26.140
This is a really cool way of doing this.

00:06:26.140 --> 00:06:29.840
So it plays around with the EQ a little bit.

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:33.340
And then you just A, B, choose which one you like.

00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:36.260
And then it kind of dials it down and dials it down.

00:06:36.260 --> 00:06:40.000
We're at the point now where they are extremely close.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.730
Okay.

00:06:41.730 --> 00:06:44.810
Let's see what my sound signature is.

00:06:44.810 --> 00:06:46.490
Obviously that could be genre specific,

00:06:46.490 --> 00:06:48.570
but they actually do a pretty good job of providing

00:06:48.570 --> 00:06:52.210
at least a handful of different genres for you to choose from.

00:06:52.210 --> 00:06:54.530
It's now personalized.

00:06:54.530 --> 00:06:55.370
Okay.

00:06:57.420 --> 00:06:59.590
Well, what does this mean?

00:06:59.590 --> 00:07:01.090
Are you gonna show me what my, like,

00:07:01.090 --> 00:07:02.890
EQ is?

00:07:02.890 --> 00:07:04.250
Oh, well that's lame.

00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:06.370
Okay. Well, there's a bit of feedback that I would provide.

00:07:06.370 --> 00:07:09.470
I'd like to see what kind of EQ I ended up choosing.

00:07:09.470 --> 00:07:10.530
Sure.

00:07:10.530 --> 00:07:15.290
How about some ABBA?

00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:19.020
ABBA is a really cool way

00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:22.630
for any idiot normie

00:07:22.630 --> 00:07:26.590
to go through and dial in a customized EQ.

00:07:26.590 --> 00:07:27.990
Because the reality of it is

00:07:27.990 --> 00:07:32.010
between two similarly priced headphones,

00:07:32.010 --> 00:07:34.970
a lot of the time you can make up a lot of the difference

00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:38.350
between them by EQ-ing too much bass out

00:07:38.350 --> 00:07:42.830
or by EQ-ing down some of the sparkle and the highs.

00:07:42.830 --> 00:07:45.650
And so by just having this simple little setup process

00:07:45.650 --> 00:07:47.470
that's really intuitive,

00:07:47.470 --> 00:07:50.360
these just sound really good.

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:51.880
How much do they cost anyway?

00:07:51.880 --> 00:07:53.040
170 bucks.

00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.600
Okay. So they're priced right up there

00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.020
with what you would expect for a pair

00:07:56.020 --> 00:07:58.440
of feature rich wireless in-ears.

00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:01.280
But honestly, like I see a ton of value

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:03.500
in that particular aspect of the software,

00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:04.740
more than just about anything else.

00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:06.900
Like they sound great

00:08:06.900 --> 00:08:08.440
because I tuned them to make sure

00:08:08.440 --> 00:08:09.880
they would sound great to me.

00:08:09.880 --> 00:08:11.860
I ended up making it all the way through the video

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:13.960
before remembering to do this test call

00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:14.800
to check out the mic.

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.660
So, hey John, are you recording the call?

00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:18.200
Yep. I am recording.

00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:19.820
Well, I would ask how I sound,

00:08:19.820 --> 00:08:21.300
but honestly it's kind of irrelevant

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:22.580
because we're going to let the audience decide

00:08:22.580 --> 00:08:24.260
for themselves how I sound.

00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:25.880
You sound great though.

00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:28.140
Thank you. You sound fantastic.

00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:29.000
Thank you.

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.300
I mean, in fairness,

00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:32.760
there's not actually a whole lot of like ambient noise

00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:33.740
around me right now though.

00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:34.580
Do we even...

00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:35.640
Do we really have anything

00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:38.020
that makes a ton of noise at the moment?

00:08:38.020 --> 00:08:39.540
Mark kind of makes a lot of noise.

00:08:39.540 --> 00:08:40.740
Mark, okay.

00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:41.980
That's not the kind of noise though.

00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:44.540
It has to be like traffic noise, like that kind of thing.

00:08:44.540 --> 00:08:45.880
Okay. Here's something.

00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:48.380
I can rattle this chain.

00:08:48.380 --> 00:08:51.980
Okay. So I'm talking to you

00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:56.020
while I am raising a bay door.

00:08:56.020 --> 00:08:57.120
I don't know.

00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.560
I don't know how much this is making a difference or not.

00:08:59.560 --> 00:09:00.640
Okay, cool.

00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:03.380
So that's kind of what it's supposed to sound like.

00:09:03.380 --> 00:09:04.960
And then whatever Jono has

00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:08.040
decided is what it's managing to subtract from it.

00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:09.900
No, they're not IE 600s,

00:09:09.900 --> 00:09:11.380
which we checked out recently.

00:09:11.380 --> 00:09:12.480
Guys, you can check that video out

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.400
if you're looking for something else to watch,

00:09:14.400 --> 00:09:16.020
but they also aren't intended to be.

00:09:16.020 --> 00:09:17.880
They don't have a wire.

00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:22.160
It would also be really nice if it spat out the EQ

00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:23.960
and then, you know how it says,

00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.600
hey, you should listen to some music and try it out.

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.640
So it should spit out your EQ,

00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:33.020
then allow you to play some music and fine tune things

00:09:33.020 --> 00:09:34.880
so that you can find something that works across

00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:36.720
the different genres that you like.

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.740
I definitely didn't leave enough in the highs

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:41.260
for music like this, for example.

00:09:41.260 --> 00:09:42.960
Still tons of potential.

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:44.700
Just like you have the potential to subscribe.

00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:46.480
Thanks one more for sponsoring this video

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.760
and thanks to you for watching.

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:48.600
See you soon.
