EVO

I used to have **1More Evo** which I loved. But then I discovered **Earfun Free Pro 3**, sold my Evos and kept Earfun. They sound amazing - to me. The app is very good, ANC above average I'd say. The charging case is the smallest in the world. However - I am always on a quest for better sound. And after reading and watching some reviews, I am buying **Roseselsa Ceramics** **Ultra**. We'll see how it compares.

I have Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds and think they’re fantastic - worth the extra cash. Saying that, I value the ANC for travelling etc and that’s a big selling point for me. Have tried cheaper ones such as 1More Evo and Soundcore Space A40 and the ANC is pitiful in comparison. Had them over a year and no issues with battery, connection dropping etc…

It's tricky to find stuff that doesn't clip. Airpod pro 2 and 3 are your best pure anc options. I had a similar experience with my commute that was on bike, potentially five different ferries, and a train every day. The 1more Evo was the only tws set I tried that never ever fell out of phase with the thrumming engines and became constructive interference, but still sounded good enough that I felt the extra price was worth it. I don't like the airpods sound profile, and I hate apple as a company, Sony still hasn't addressed their battery problems, and Samsung has just not supported their customers either. And I don't like that the bose can't just become no anc. But I'm tired of disposable TWS buds that cant be repaired. My 1more evo's just keep going and going and they're all I ever need, but I do try other stuff, and genuinely I just commuted with the rosetechnics ceramics x using jbl cloud foam tips on my bicycle and for 30 bucks they actually have a real, honest to God great anc, not only that, they have a wind noise algorithm that works great, even though I was doing 25 on my bike this morning. The transparency is good, not robotic, but just a bit muffled. They do need foam tips, but I use the generic Sony xm4 foam tips on all my TWS stuff since they're shallow and fit insanely well, the extra earplug effect really helps the anc work even better and most buds can get silence out of that. But I just put them in and started clapping as hard as I could right next to them and no clipping at all. Surprisingly no ambient anc pressure either. And with ldac, they sound pretty stellar. Small case, small size with no stems. I honestly am not going back to expensive TWS or wireless stuff, unless 1more releases a sequel to the Evo, because the Evo are the only wireless headphone I've ever tried that make me actually want to listen to music on the over some of my wired stuff. Just enough anc to get me through my commute, then when I get to campus, I use one pair of nice iems (moondrop kadenz or apevoix Grit) and one pair of open earbuds for when my ear canals get tired (for years was the nicehck eb2s, but the kz duet just blew every open earbuds I've ever tried out of the water) I'd maybe try the rosetechnics ceramic x with some foam eartips (jlabs cloud or the generic Sony xm4 foam tips, I go a size down for the sony xm4 tips) as a $30 test while you look for the xm5's, and if they work, great, if not, you can have them as a backup (they do just sound good) and get some airpod pro 2 or 3's. If you do get the ceramics, install the app, set the eq to rock, and change the language from Chinese to English. You can also fully program the touch controls.

Because sound quality is not the focus of the APP. The ANC is insane though. I used to have the Sennheiser cx plus actually and yes I think they sound better from my memory. The 1more evo sounded way better than AirPods Pro 3. That is in terms of technical ability once EQd.

Just tried them out briefly at the Apple Store. ANC and transparency are really good. Sound signatures dynamic and v shaped and should be pleasing to most consumers ears. However the bass is a bit loose, slow and muddy. In another comment I compared the sound to my 1MORE evos and found that they have much better sound technically and they have an EQ. But most people should like the AirPods Pro (provided they’re not an audiophile like my self lol.)

I got a pair of 1More Evo wireless earbuds on sale for $100 (originally $200)and they still work like a charm 3 years later. Stick to weird Chinese brands, never buy Bose, Beats or Apple products
