Under the general trend that smartphones have cancelled the 3.5mm headphone interface, Bluetooth headphones have become an important part of the standard EDC for ordinary consumers in daily life. In addition to the continuous improvement of sound quality requirements, people are also pursuing an immersive listening experience. Even in a noisy environment, they have to enjoy music quietly. This is why more and more headphones are scrambling to add the function of active noise reduction.
MORE HD noise reduction ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro is the second collar headset with active noise reduction function under the 1MORE brand. It has luxurious configuration parameters: 1. combination of ring iron sound unit; 2. front-and-back dual-mix hybrid active noise reduction; 3. LDAC and AAC decoding, 4. Fast charging function... But can these brightly lit configurations really be converted into a collar headset worthy of consumers? Jupit3r will share with you his experience in the past two weeks in this review.
Unboxing experience with a full sense of ceremony
Friends who have used its products know that 1MORE is a brand that is very willing to invest in packaging and accessories. The luxury and exquisiteness of the headphones that cost several hundred yuan are even higher than that of many other brands of thousands of yuan products. The 1MORE high-definition noise-cancelling ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro reviewed this time is of course no exception. In addition to the schematic diagram of the headset, the front of the
packaging box also indicates the various honors it has won, including the CES2020 Design Award, the IF2020 Design Award, and the certified gold marks of High-Res Audio and High-Res Audio Wireless. The back of the packaging box is marked with the main parameters of the product in multiple languages, and the side lists the main selling points of the headphones in the form of an icon.
Like other 1MORE products, after opening the flip package of the high-definition noise-cancelling ring iron earphone Pro, you can see the design manuscript of the earphones. The English notes indicate that the design of this product is from the international team.
headphones are on the upper layer inside the box, while the lower layer uses a separate small packaging box to accommodate various accessories.
This headset accessories include a storage bag, USB A-C charging cable, USB-C to 3.5mm AUX cable, manual, bear stickers, and up to 7 pairs of replacement ear caps of different sizes. The addition of USB-C to 3.5mm AUX cable shows the brand's intention. Although we usually connect to mobile phones via Bluetooth, many DAPs, tablets and computers still retain a 3.5mm audio interface. When used with these devices, we can still choose to connect wired with less audio loss and no delay.
Pro adopts a neck-mounted design, and the middle part of its U-shaped collar has excellent flexibility and will not be damaged no matter how it bent. The two ends contain electrical components such as buttons, lithium batteries, microphones, charging ports, etc., and the relative hardness of the shell material is higher. There is an Type-Ch interface on the right end of the collar, which can support the charging of the device, or wired connection with the front-end device can be achieved through the standard Type-C to 3.5mm connection cable. The left end of the collar of
contains all physical buttons of the headset, including the power button, volume +/- button, play/pause button, noise reduction selection button and anti-wind noise switch.
In order to ensure the comfort of wearing and the service life of the product, the headphone cable does not extend from both ends of the collar, but comes out from the combinatorial point of flexible and hard materials. Although it is relatively fine, it has good toughness in actual measurements, and ordinary pulling will not cause it to break. There are magnets with positive and negative poles on the back of the left and right earplug cavity. When you hang the earphones around your neck without using them, you can suck the two earplugs up, so that they will not only not shake and affect you to do other things, but also are less likely to be lost.
For the convenience of distinguishing between consumers during use, left and right channels (L/R) are designed on the inner sides of both ends of the collar and the inner side of the cavity of the earphones. In addition, the collar itself also has a difference between the upper and lower sides. If the backwards occur, it is really a problem for the user.
headphones adopt a design style dominated by black and red, which is fashionable without exaggeration. The collar part is made of matte coating, which can effectively prevent fingerprints. The part of the headphone cavity uses a high-gloss coating, which makes the entire headphone look a little more flexible.
Pro weighs only 44 grams, and even if it is hung on the neck for a long time, it will not cause any discomfort. In terms of workmanship, the Pro has also reached a very high level. The entire body has been polished very smoothly, without any obvious mold opening line or burr feeling. 1MORE HD ring iron noise-cancelling Bluetooth headset supports IPX5-level waterproofing, which can effectively prevent sweat and rain from invasion, but cannot be completely soaked in water. In comparison, the more expensive Bose QC30 and Sony WI-1000XM2 have not obtained IP protection level certification, so you should pay special attention even when using it in the gym.
is easy to pair, the connection is stable, and the control is convenient
1MORE HD noise reduction ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro adopts Bluetooth 5.0 technology, and the actual connection is very stable and is not easily disturbed by external electromagnetic waves. There was no disconnection in the two weeks of Jupit3r experience. The key arrangement of
Pro is scientific and reasonable, and has the appropriate key stroke and excellent rebound speed. It is not easy to cause misoperation when using it. The power key can be used to power on and off, and enter pairing mode. The noise reduction button supports three-level noise reduction options such as "off", "weak gear" and "strong gear". The play/pause button is actually a multi-function button, which can be used to select songs, answer/hang up calls and other operations through different combinations. The volume adjustment key only supports volume increase or decrease. Unfortunately, the Pro does not have a built-in vibration motor, and it cannot remind users through vibration feedback when incoming calls, connecting and turning on and off like some other collar headphones.
Users can scan the code to download the 1MORE Music application jointly created by Kugou Music , and claim 1 month of Kugou Music membership and 1 year of Music Deluxe VIP membership. Users can not only play all songs from the Kugou Music platform on the 1MORE Music App, but also achieve headphone control, tuning and OTA firmware upgrades. The actual test of the Kugou Music platform is still relatively rich, and you can basically find Chinese and English songs that Jupit3r often listens to. However, 1More Music App does not cover all the functions of Kugou Music App. It is recommended to install the latter to maximize the membership rights of this month.
is comfortable to wear, and the noise reduction effect is excellent
Because most of the gravity is distributed to the collar part, and the more ergonomic oblique in-ear design, the 1MORE high-definition noise reduction ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro performs well.
Pro has good sound insulation even when noise reduction is not turned on. In a relatively less noisy environment, the earbuds themselves are enough to isolate most of the external noise, and can also get an immersive listening experience when playing music. However, on subways, planes or buses with relatively high external noise, we need to turn on active noise reduction.
Pro uses the most advanced feedforward + feedback (FF+FB) hybrid noise reduction technology, and is equipped with 4 noise reduction radio microphones at standard, with a noise reduction depth of up to 35-40dB. In the actual test of Jupit3r, it was found that headphones can not only effectively eliminate the low-frequency noise of , but also significantly reduce the noise of medium and high-frequency. Wearing a 1MORE HD noise-cancelling ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro on the subway during rush hours, the noise reduction gear is turned on, and the Jupit3r can hardly hear the friction between the wheels and the tracks, and the sound of the middle-aged woman talking loudly next to her also turned into whispers. When used in the office, Jupit3r not only cannot hear the sound of the air purifier next to it and the small fan on the desktop, but also the conversation between colleagues around him at normal volume will become looming. Adjust the noise reduction to the weak level, and the low-frequency noise is still greatly reduced. Although the medium and high-frequency sounds will become thin, you can hear it. It is worth mentioning that when the noise reduction is turned on to the strong gear, the ears can feel the weak pressure, but not in the weak gear. In the area where Jupit3r works, there are often strong winds, and when you go to the gym after get off work, you will pass by a wind vent.The Pro's own anti-wind noise function is very magical, and the howling wind will almost disappear after turning on. Unfortunately, the Pro does not include the "Hear-through" function commonly found on high-end noise-cancelling headphones. When you need to hear external sounds clearly, you can only pause the music or remove the earbuds.
triple-band equalization, excellent parsing
1MORE high-definition noise reduction ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro is equipped with a 13.6mm titanium diaphragm dynamic coil unit and a dynamic iron unit, which ensures the sound quality of the headset in the hardware. When transmitting audio wirelessly, this headset supports the most advanced LDAC encoding, with a transmission rate of up to 990kb/s, which is more than three times that of SBC. Through a series of algorithms, LDAC can obtain sound quality that is very close to CD when playing lossless audio. Most mid-to-high-end mobile phones with Android 8.0 or above systems support LDAC. For front-end devices such as Apple iPhone that do not support LDAC, the 1MORE high-definition noise-cancelling ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro uses AAC encoding to transmit. In order to adapt to various styles of music, the compilation will be restored to the greatest extent. The low-frequency volume and strength of
Pro are moderate, and the dive and elasticity are relatively average, but the advantages are rich in details and have very good resolution . Listen to Stormzy, Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy's "Own it" and you can feel that the Pro's drum beats are clearer, and it can also present more low-frequency details, and there will be no cloudiness and distortion when playing high volumes.
Thanks to the addition of the dynamic iron unit, the mid-frequency resolution of Pro is excellent, the sound is clear and clean and layered. The vocals are relatively frontal, and the instruments also have a good sense of encirclement of the vocals, and the entire audio is naturally three-dimensional. However, because the teeth sound is too controlled, some female voices with a higher sound like they are not emotional enough. The high frequency and brightness of
Pro are high-frequency and distinctive, with excellent control and good extension. The extremely high frequency is relatively convergent and does not make too much gain, but the transient is excellent and sounds natural, smooth and not artificial.
Users can also wired with the front-end device through the standard Type-C to 3.5mm connector connection cable to achieve lossless and delayed audio transmission. However, wired connection still requires turning on the headphone power supply to use, and cannot rely entirely on the front-end 3.5mm interface for power supply.
low latency, video and game audio and video synchronization
When using YouTube, iQiyi and Bilibili to watch online videos, the mouth shape and sound can be completely matched. When trying out large mobile games such as "Honor of Kings" and " Peace Elite ", there was no sound and picture out of sync, and the experience was very close to wired headphones.
has a long battery life, fast charging is
1MORE HD noise reduction ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro has a built-in 160mAh lithium battery, and the official claims that its battery life can be up to 20 hours. However, in actual use, the battery life depends on many factors such as noise reduction intensity and volume. When the noise reduction continues to be turned on to strong gear, and the music is played through Bluetooth at medium volume, the actual battery life of the Pro is 15 hours and 20 minutes. If the noise reduction is turned off or turned on to a weak gear, a 20-hour battery life should be relatively easy to achieve.
Pro also supports its own fast charging function, and it only takes about 1 hour to complete a complete charging in actual test. Moreover, it can play music for 3 hours continuously for 10 minutes, greatly enhancing the emergency response capabilities of the headphones.
Summary: The benchmark product within 1,000 yuan
1MORE high-definition noise-cancelling ring iron Bluetooth headset Pro is currently priced on major e-commerce platforms at 799 yuan. For a headset that has a four-microphone hybrid noise reduction, a mixed sound unit with a ring iron mix and matched sound unit, LDAC encoding, and has reached a very high level in design, workmanship, hardware configuration, noise reduction effect and sound quality, such pricing is very sincere, and there are almost no competitors within a thousand yuan. The addition of the App further improves the ease of use and practicality of the product, and the fast charging function also perfectly guarantees its emergency response capabilities. If you have to pick the bones in the egg, it can only be said that the function of "transparency mode" and vibration feedback is a bit regrettable. In general, Jupit3r really can't find a reason not to recommend this cost-effective headset.
