The 1MORE Evo earbuds are certainly aiming high, but did they actually make the shot?
They certainly hit more marks than they miss.
The 1MORE Evo are available in either black or white, and each finish is equally impressive.

In my case, the tips that were preinstalled on the Evo earbuds fit perfectly.
The 1MORE Evo aren’t impervious to weather, but they areIPX4 rated.
Just don’t dunk them in your morning coffee or throw them into your washing machine.

It also keeps a strong hold on the earbuds once they’re tucked inside.
1MORE estimates the Evo can run up to eight hours on a single charge.
That said, in normal use, I never ended up running down the battery.

Just 15 minutes in the case gets you a few more hours of listening time.

Recently, more advanced codecs likeSony’s LDAChave made hi-res audio a more attainable goal in Bluetooth headphones.
The 1MORE Evo rely on LDAC for its hi-res audio, but this isn’t supported everywhere.
In testing the 1MORE Evo, I used my iPhone and Mac to test the headphones in less-than-ideal conditions.

1MORE has long been a proponent of combining multiple drivers inside earbuds.
The bass is slightly boosted by default, but compared to many other earbuds, this is rather tame.
The built-in microphones used for calls aren’t much to write home about.

They don’t sound fantastic, but it certainly isn’t bad.
For calls, it seems to pick up equally well indoors or outdoors, which is handy.
If I wasn’t playing anything back, I could slightly hear the higher frequencies.

Once I started playing music at a moderate volume, I couldn’t hear the TV at all.
TheTransparency mode, which lets outside sound in through the built-in mics, also works very well.
