When it comes to working out, we probably just grab whatever pair of headphones or earbuds are our favorite, and get to getting. And that’s fine, when you’re heading to the gym, and you’re inside. But what if you’re jogging or bike riding outside? You need to be aware of what’s going on around you, which can be tricky with most designs. You can go with bone conduction, or you could go with something more like these “open ear” designs the 1MORE S30 and S50 have.
What are they?
On one hand, the 1MORE S30 and S50 look like your standard true wireless earbuds, albeit with loops that curve off to hold them in place. And those are the key. With most earbuds, we’re used to the tips on those to help hold things in place in your ears. With those tips, though, you’re necessarily blocking out some – if not all – of the outside noise. Not helpful for hearing if there’s a car bearing down on you. With these, those loops are keeping the earbuds – and their 14.2mm drivers – positioned so that they can send your music to your ears, but also allow outside noise in.
How does 1MORE describe this capability?
That’s a good question – and here’s what they have to say:
- The 1MORE S30 sports headphones redefine how athletes interact with audio during their workouts. Powered by a 14.2 mm Dynamic Driver featuring a DLC diaphragm, these headphones offer unparalleled sound quality. The incorporation of the DBB Low-Frequency Enhancement Algorithm further enriches the audio experience.
- The Innovation Open-Ear Design of the 1MORE S30 embraces a novel approach to athletic audio, ensuring 10g of each earbud fits snugly and gently curves for optimal comfort. This design promotes situational awareness, enhancing safety during movement-intensive activities.
- With IPX5 sweat resistance, the 1MORE S30 stands up to rigorous workouts, while the 4-Mic Intelligent Noise Cancelling filters the environmental noise when you are on a call, keeping all the details of your voice. The 1MORE S30 boasts an impressive 30-hour battery life and utilizes Bluetooth 5.3 technology for seamless connectivity.
- The 1MORE S50 sports headphones redefine sports audio with a host of groundbreaking features. The integration of the 1MORE PurePower Driver with its strong magnetic design results in a remarkable 40% increase in driving force, ensuring an unparalleled auditory journey. The advanced DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) diaphragm guarantees superior sound quality, while the collaboration with Sonarworks and the exclusive Sound ID feature brings a personalized sonic experience like never before.
- Grammy master-tuned sound elevates the listening experience with balanced acoustics and meticulous attention to detail. The revolutionary Open-Air Tech employs innovative Directional Sound Loops, enveloping the user in a captivating soundscape. The skin-friendly silicone material, coupled with the ergonomic ear hooks, guarantees ultimate comfort during extended wear.
How can you get a pair?
That’s pretty straight-foward – you can get them over on Amazon, or of course directly from 1MORE. The 1MORE S30 ($59.99) (1MORE / Amazon) are available in black or white, while the 1MORE S50 ($119.99) (1MORE / Amazon) come in grey or white. Obviously, there’s the entry level and higher-end levels here, so it can be an inexpensive thing to try out. Do be aware, those prices are slightly discounted at the moment from MSRP, so they could bump up to regular pricing ($69.99 / $149.99) down the road.
