I can’t use traditional in-ear earbuds for more than 2–3 hours without discomfort, so open-ear designs are usually my go-to. In this video, we test the 1MORE Open Earbuds S70 from a real comfort-first perspective.
We check weight distribution, long-wear comfort, sound leakage, bass tuning, distortion at high volumes, mic performance with and without background noise, and app customization through the 1MORE app.
At around $110, these sit in the mid-range open-ear category. They deliver strong battery life (up to 40 hours total), fast charging, and good mic noise reduction — but they are definitely bass-heavy and can distort past 90% volume.
If you have sensitive ears and avoid in-ear buds, this might be worth considering.

What's up guys. In past videos I have mentioned this many times that I'm unable to use ear buds
that go directly inside the ear canal because after two to three hours they start hurting me
my ears so I always end up using ear buds like these which are open which are called open ear
buds. Many brands make them one more is one of them. One more is a brand I actually personally
really like I also use their headphones so you will see me mentioning them multiple times.
This is one more open ear buds S70. These are again open ear buds they are made by Tesla grade
magnetic acoustic design whatever that means. Open air tech for all day comfort 40 hours of
total playback time that's actually really good when you compare it with the competition and a
single charge can give you up to 12 hours of playback that's again good. Fast charging 5
charge gives you two hours of battery life they are splash and sweat resistant so minor splashes
like rain and sweat are fine but not like you can go swimming. They also support something called
low latency gaming mode. I'm not a I'm just a casual gamer so I'm not going to mention the
gaming thing but again let's check it out. The reason I bring them on my channel and in the past
I have also reviewed from other brands again is again the reason that my ears hurt. I can't use
the ones that go directly inside your ear canal and let me show you for those of you who still
don't understand. See so what happens is that when you this hook is used to hang them on your
ears and this area sits in front of your ear canal not inside it and then it directionally
pushes the sound inside your ear so your ear canal remains open it stays ventilated and the
pressure is not as much as you feel with others. Same is with this one overall design and build
quality wise the polish of the paint is good material this is a solid material not some cheap
material that you see on cheaper earbuds. So overall design wise solid marks see they haven't
cheap down on the design or materials. Same with the case even if you open it there is a satisfactory
click and then you open it like that they are automatically go through their natural position
see and I like this transparent design touch I like it most of the time the earbuds are
in a very enclosed space they don't have this transparent touch but I actually like it
I think it's unique they have magnets so they can easily sit inside so you don't have to
do it manually you have this light to give you battery indication this pairing button
left right indicators the material of the case itself is also really good and overall it feels
solid they nice little orange red tint to the type-c port they support fast charging
as we have mentioned earlier and let's see if I think there will be an extra cable if I'm right
some documentation there is one cable here type a to type c which we don't have to worry about
the main thing is our earbuds and one thing that I really like about one more and I always mention
is that all of their earbuds at least in my experience can act with one more app so you
can control them through one more so if I go to okay they have automatically connected
you can see the and the first time you have to manually pair them but and if you close the case
it will auto disconnect but if you open them they will auto pair first time is manual pair
and if we give them some time see they're back and you can see case charging which is 80 percent
then you have the left and right earbud charging which is 100 you also get firmware updates which
I really appreciate in every hardware product I review because getting a hardware firmware upgrade
means if for example there were bugs which are always there you get an update to fix them you
can turn on low latency mode if you're gaming then you have equalizer to select different
modes for example classical if you don't like bass because these usually have an
artificial bass enhancer because they are away from your ears so they use artificial
bass enhancement so it may not be to the taste of everyone so you can use bass reducer and
then electronic lounge hip-hop all those are here firmware upgrade this is the latest version
you can go to check the documentation with graphics you have gesture controls and double
tap and single tap phone call and all those things you have soothing sounds if you want to turn them
on custom settings this is you want you can control what double tap does and what triple tap
does of each left and right earbud so you can change the actions that you would like
next previous track volume up down play pause or you can totally turn them off which I really like
because sometimes you're just adjusting the earbud and it pauses or just it starts playing the next
track I have tried them on and there is a very good weight distribution to it weight distribution
means like weight is not just distributed right here it is also distributed here so that there
is balance and there is less fatigue on your ear hooks and they I find them because they sit on the
air hook so like over the ear the weight is not that big of an issue but still they're quite
lightweight I think let me see their claim how much each earbud is let me actually get the measuring
because it's good measure the weight many people ask about it let me turn off the light
okay let's check each earbuds weight I think they are competitive in terms of
industry when you compare them to industry so usually I think they have claimed like
about 8.7 in my testing we are getting around 9 which is what you usually expect in mid-range
open earbuds if you compare them to the industry it's not groundbreaking size reduction
but this is what you would usually expect from this price range now towards the testing what I
felt is that the artificial bass announcement is too much for me I am not a person who loves bass
but the people who like and love bass you will really like them they are heavy on bass I usually
less bass savvy so I would probably not adjust the EQ settings to be bass reducer so let's test
this on I feel like there is a distortion at the top end if you push the volume to the maximum
but if you decrease the volume little bit I feel like they perform better at around this
volume which is around 70 percent maybe 80 percent let me give you an example
so around if you stay below 90 percent you will not feel distortion but if you push
over that you will see distortion in the sound you will hear the distortion another thing is that
sound leakage sound leakage if you remain around 50 to 60 percent of volume the sound
leakage is minimal but if you push above the 60 percent mark I think if a person is sitting
next to you he can also hear it so if you want less sound leakage keep the volume less than
around 50 percent okay what else should I tell you we need to test this mic and yeah the playback
let me test the playback so right now triple tap is off sound is playing if I double tap it
it should stop playback let me show you this is the area for the touch and it should work
one two double tap okay pause double tap play okay so this and you can do the same with
this one and double tap also x to accept I think what's the one accept or reject call as well let's
see custom settings so right now it is just configure to play and pause and I think it
will also use as call attendant rejection if you want you can select triple tab to do like
previous track and next track and then the other one to turn volume up or down
it is totally up to you we have tested the action now we need to test the mic
so let's go to voice recorder voice recorder and right off the bat it tells you let me show you
again that it will be using see it will be using one more s70 to record the sound so we are good
in that regard let me view them this is right written right here all right let's do a test
noise cancellation or would we test that let's find a way let's do the normal test first
hey this is Rameez Raja and you're watching gadget hunting with RR how are you doing
and to show you I need to turn off the bluetooth hey this is Rameez Raja and
you're watching gadget hunting with RR how are you doing hey this is Rameez Raja and
you're watching gadget hunting with RR how are you doing that's pretty good actually that's how I
so mic on without any kind of noise is actually really good now we have to
trigger the noise somehow and let me turn on my ceiling fan so give me a second okay this is the
maximum speed of my ceiling fan and you will also be hearing it through my normal mic so let's see
if it cancels out my earbuds cancel out them or not let's connect them hey this is Rameez Raja
and you're watching gadget hunting with RR with me so let me know how are you doing okay I have
turned off the ceiling fan so that you can hear me at least through my normal mic let's turn off
the bluetooth and let's play hey this is Rameez Raja you're watching gadget hunting with RR with
me so let me know how are you doing that's actually pretty decent there was a lot of noise
and of course it compromised on the sound but it got rid of the noise so the claim of noise
canceling is actually quite good so mic wise and noise cancellation wise these are actually good
good I like them anything else let me see their specifications if I missed anything
that I wanted to tell you I have told you around they support fast charging so five minutes gives
you charge give you two hours of playback time they support bluetooth 5.3 there is a bunch of
acoustic engine tool orientation technology
balance here plus which means they have done a really good job of balancing as per their claim
in my testing it was decent nothing to worry about they have bass plus some technology which
is like they enhance the bass actually let me give you a test of the bass how it changes
I did not give you that test
okay I'm going to go to EQ settings and change the settings live in my testing I like the deep
one the most this one are the best bass reducer one the studio one has too much bass for me
but the people who like bass they will love it price wise these are around 110 dollars
which relies in terms of the open earbuds category in the mid
they're not in the flagship category they're definitely mid-range open earbuds
so I think they justify their price anything else I skipped I mentioned IPX5 rating
dual magnetic drivers yeah the one thing that they have left in their marketing claim is that
it is tuned by grammy-winning Luca Bignari I am not sure who that guy is but he's like a musician
or something like that and grammy winning that on top of that so he has tuned its sound in a way
like frequency tuning that it would sound good and that's it that's pretty much it
I think they these are good by they justify their price their material is good their design is good
the app integration I really like I always appreciate whenever there is an app integration
in the case I think they have done a good job with it so if you're out in the market
looking for some good mid-range open earbuds definitely give one more s30 a try
let's do a quick wear test you have this left and right this one is right this one is left
you take it and wear it like this and then you give it a little twist like this and you have
the wear this is how you wear it and see this area it is not inside the ear canal see this is
what I like because my ear canal remains open so I don't feel the pain I can wear them for longer
in general I do avoid wearing earbuds at all maybe it is my medical condition or whatever I have
them checked multiple times if something is wrong with my ears but there is nothing wrong with my
ears as per doctor so it means I'm just not used to wearing them again once you wear them many
people leave them like hanging no give them a little twist like this and you will get a wear
and these are targeted for sports gym or running do it like this they will not fall down
so see they will not fall down because of this hook design and for people like me who don't
like it the earbuds that go inside it overall the weight distribution is quite good I don't
feel them once I wear them actually don't feel them at all as something is there but it's not
something that I would remember for long and if I do like this and they will not fall down
so that's good as well as for the sound testing again I would mention it that they are bass heavy
there was a distortion over the 90 sound volume but other than that since they focus more on the
bass the some there is a compromise on the clarity of the vocals I feel like that's the way and then
I adjusted it from the studio to the deep mode and because I like that one because it has more
clarity on the vocals I actually am a person who prefers vocals more than what is on the
bass side or other so maybe it is a personal priority but overall I think for their price
and mid-range they have a pretty good sound anyway let me know what you think of it take care bye
