CONCLUSION

   It’s been a long time since 1MORE focused in the development and release of a high-end TWS model so the EVO (EH902) was more than just welcome. To be completely honest with all of you I still use the EHD9001TA model from time to time so that alone is enough reason for me to take 1MORE seriously when they release anything of the sort. So just how good are the EVO? That’s what all of you are probably thinking and the answer is very good, at least when it comes to audio clarity and accuracy. By using the SoundID feature you can tailor the audio of the EVO to your liking and yes it makes a difference. Overall, it’s been a while since I could actually listen to music (using the M15 mostly – LDAC makes a difference as long as you use material that can match or surpass its supported quality - but also my smartphones) using a TWS model (at least the ones I review) and actually enjoy it. So clearly the EVO ticks the audio quality/performance box. In terms of ANC however I can’t say I was 100% satisfied. The good news is that with some ANC modes audio quality actually improves slightly (or more accurately volume levels increase thus audio seems to improve) but ANC is not able to fully filter external noises. It of course depends on the noise but again its ANC feature is not quite as good as what one can find on some of the more expensive TWS models. Moving to build quality and size no problems here, fit could be better i guess but even on the treadmill neither earbud fell off (not completely). As for battery life 1MORE claims 8 hours per earbud with ANC off and 5.5 hours with ANC on and once again they are not way off. I managed to record a maximum of 7 hours and 37 minutes with ANC off and 5 hours and 12 minutes with ANC on so both numbers are quite good, even more so for such tiny earbuds.

   The EVO TWS were officially released 2 days ago and currently retail for USD169.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com – $30 discount coupon available at checkout) and for 169.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de – 30Euros discount coupon available at checkout) so they are quite more affordable compared to for example the BOSE QuietComfort. Long story short after 2 weeks of using the 1MORE EVO i really have no serious complaints by them, yes, the ANC is a bit weaker than what I’d like but unlike other TWS earbuds it doesn’t negatively impact audio quality. So, with the 1MORE EVO you’re getting it all, audiophile audio performance (tailored to your own taste), high build quality (IPX4 certified housings), ANC and battery life (not to mention a very good price tag with the current coupons) so they clearly deserves the Golden Award.
