1More Aero review

Since the introduction of spatial audio on the first generation of Apple’s AirPods Pro, a growing number of companies that specialize in wireless headphones and earbuds have begun working on their own versions of the technology to compete with Apple’s 360-degree sound format. Heavyweights from the industry, such as Sony and Yamaha, have now joined the party.

Even less well-known brands, such as 1More, are jumping on the wireless earbuds bandwagon with the release of their brand-new 1More Aero model. The 1More Aero spatial audio may be its most alluring feature, but let’s not forget its impressive feature set, including active noise cancellation (ANC), Bluetooth multipoint, and wireless charging.

These are all very useful features. However, these buds suffer from a number of functional shortcomings, which may cause customers to opt instead for more expensive and well regarded alternatives.

1More Aero review: Design

The 1More Aero has a design in the shape of a stem with a lightweight plastic finish that is either black or white. The white version has a longer tail, more tapered toward the end, and does not have a silver tip, making it easy to confuse it with Apple’s AirPods from a distance. However, if you look at it more closely, you’ll find that the tail does not have a silver tip. The Aero comes with silicone tips in sizes small, medium, large, and extra-large.

We found that the S tip provided a secure fit and a good seal in my ear, which helped to block out outside noise and kept the earbuds from falling out as we strolled down the street. On the other hand, we discovered that after around an hour and a half of continuous listening, people started to experience feelings of discomfort. The fact that the lid doesn’t quite reach the edge of the case gives it a subtly different aesthetic and makes it easy to flip open with one hand, both of which are features that we appreciate in the matching case.

In addition to being lightweight, it enables charging via USB-C and wirelessly. Touch controls are included with the Aero, which can withstand water pressures up to an IPX5 rating. Because of the unusually restricted nature of the controls, one of my primary complaints about these earphones is that they are uncomfortable to wear. You may double-tap on either earphone to play/pause the music or answer a call.

You can triple-tap on either side to access the voice assistant on your device. Finally, you can tap and hold on either side to cycle between the different ANC settings on the Aero headphones. Because the earbuds do not have any controls for skipping tracks or adjusting the volume, you will have to remove your phone from your ear in order to perform either of these functions. When it comes to turning down a call, the same rule applies. You can buy this earbuds from its official website.

1More Aero review: Comfort

Let’s be honest: no one wants to wear earbuds that feel like they’re drilling into their head. The 1MORE Aero Earbuds are nice because they are comfortable. They are slim and not too big, so they won’t stick out like a sore thumb from your ears. We also liked that they fit tightly and comfortably in my ears, which are bigger than average.

The gym, and they didn’t fall out like my AirPods did. We probably wouldn’t suggest using them for running, though, because I’m not sure how well they would stay in place during a sprint. They do have an IPX5 rating, so you could get them wet or run in the rain.

1More Aero review: Sound quality

1MORE AERO uses Bluetooth version 5.2, which only supports AAC and SBC. APTX and LDAC are not supported. But it has a 10mm dynamic driver that looks like a diamond, and it’s also tuned to HIFI level. The way 1MORE AERO sounds makes me think that the quality isn’t very good, but my hearing is pretty good.

The 1MORE AERO is tuned a little bit more toward the middle and low frequencies. The low-frequency sense of quantity is good, and the softness and elasticity are also good. Also, there will be a bit more reverb, and the overall atmosphere and sense of space are good. The vocals are in the middle, the distance isn’t too far away, and the brightness and sweetness aren’t too high. Overall, it is fairly mild and smooth, with no obvious bias, and both male and female voices can be controlled.

The high frequency is not very bright, and the resolution is not very good. The details of the instruments are neither rich nor obvious, and when taken as a whole, they only add a little something to the performance, which isn’t very good. The tuning of 1MORE AERO is in a slightly warm style, and the sense of space and atmosphere is also very good.

It’s just that the overall permeability isn’t quite good enough and the quality isn’t very good, but the sound is very comfortable. The APP also comes with 12 sets of professional studio sound effects already built in. All of these sound effects come from studio sound-adjusting technology, which is still pretty professional. You can pick the right sound effects based on the style and feel the most exciting sound.

1More Aero review: Noise cancelling

The noise-cancelling depth of the 1MORE Aero can reach up to 42dB, especially if the “deep noise cancellation” mode is used. Its effect is slightly less powerful than that of the 1MORE EVO, but it can still block out most background noises while commuting. Also, the official announcement says that this pair of earbuds can cancel out noise up to 4,000Hz.

Noise from daily commutes has been effectively blocked, and so has noise from people talking. In real life, 1MORE Aero doesn’t make you feel dizzy after wearing it for a while, and the noise-cancelling effect is very comfortable. When the subway’s deep noise cancellation is turned on, most of the background noise is filtered out, and the voice is only heard in the smaller stations.

The voices of people talking on the phone next to you are also not very loud. You can choose the comfortable noise cancellation mode if you want to keep some of the sounds around you. You can switch to anti-wind noise mode if there is a lot of wind outside. In the deep noise cancellation mode, there will be a little bit of background noise when the noise is being blocked out.

1More Aero review: Performance

The last type of audio is spatial audio. For the price, it’s good enough. Whereas Apple’s version only works with Dolby Atmos-compatible songs from Apple Music, 1More’s technology works with all audio, though the results vary depending on the content. Modern songs have a stronger bass when this feature is turned on, and live performances feel a little more personal.

Dolby Atmos and other formats better put effects in the right places. The spatial sound in 1More isn’t as good. When I listened to the John Wick movies on the AirPods Pro 2, the action scenes didn’t have the same impact and clarity. Also, 1More’s headtracking detection doesn’t work as smoothly as the technologies from Apple and Sony.

1More Aero review: Battery Life

The 1More Aero is different from the comfobuds that came before it. Now, the buds’ charging contacts are on the stem, which is also what keeps the buds firmly in the case. The USB-C charging port is on the back of the device, but these headphones are also Qi-compatible, so you can charge them wirelessly at the office or at home.

The buds can also be charged quickly (Use the USB-C for fast charging). If you choose the fast-charging option, a 15-minute charge will give you 3 hours of listening time. Now, the buds have a total battery life of 28 hours, which is made up of 7 hours in each bud and 3 extra charges. This is because you won’t have ANC on if you turn the buds on.

1More Aero review: Conclusion

There are many good and some great wireless earphones to choose from, but they usually cost money. Just about too many. If you need to stick to a budget, you only have a few options. 1MORE did a good job with the Aero Earbuds by giving them the features people wanted, making them sound great, and selling them at a great price. But don’t forget about the personal EQ settings. They will sound even better after that.
