INTRODUCTION

   Unlike many people i know who tend to use their TWS (true wireless stereo) earbuds even while at home reading (some even while working) i mostly use them either when I’m on the treadmill or when i go to places on foot. Because in both scenarios there's a good amount of noise involved, I’m always looking for TWS models that also feature ANC (active noise cancelation) and even though more and more do so clearly not all of them are created equal. To date the TWS models with the best ANC I’ve used and/or reviewed are clearly the BOSE QuietComfort, Jabra Elite 85t (review soon) and the 1MORE EHD9001TA (review here) so there are clearly quite a few solid choices out there for people in need of ANC (I’ve also heard good things about the SONY WF-1000XM4 but i haven't used them). Well, 1MORE seems to have released yet another ANC capable TWS model in their product line, it's called the EVO (EH902) and I’ve been using it for almost 2 weeks now.

   1MORE specializes in acoustic design and development, smart software, and wearable audio products. Born with a profound mission to deliver superior audio quality at consumer-friendly prices. Additionally, 1MORE’s products have received multiple industry and design awards including prestigious CES Innovation awards, RedDot, iF Design awards and other major industry accolades.

   Inside the ceramic and plastic IPX4 certified housings of the EVO TWS 1MORE (available in black and white colors) has placed Hi-Res and THX certified 10mm DLC dynamic drivers (paired with balanced armature drivers) that sport a frequency response of 20Hz-40kHz and 32Ohm impedance (needless to say, 4-time Grammy award-winning sound engineer Luca Bignardi together with Sonarworks are behind their tuning). That's far from all however since 1MORE has also squeezed a Bluetooth v5.2 chip (support for LDAC/AAC/SBC audio codecs, HFP/A2DP/AVRCP profiles and dual-device connection), a grand total of 6 microphones (3 per earbud, feedforward and feedback microphones for their QuietMax technology and a regular microphone paired with their DNN - Deep Neural Network - algorithm for optimal results) and an tiny 48mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery which can keep going for up to 8 hours with ANC disabled and 5.5 hours with ANC enabled. In regards to their QuietMax ANC it can provide up to 42dB of total noise cancellation and can be switched between 5 different modes (ANC Strong, ANC Mild, Adaptive ANC, Wind Noise Resistant and transparent). Thanks to features like SoundID you can also tune the EVO to your own ear by taking a simple sound test powered by 1MORE Music's app AI. Finally, 1MORE also bundles a carrying/charge case for the EVO TWS earbuds which includes an 450mAh rechargeable lithium-ion pack and can provide just over 3 extra charges on each earbud (28 hours total with ANC off and 20 with ANC on).
