The 1More Fit SE Open Earbuds S30 earphones offer an innovative open-ear design tailored to athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
The open-ear design ensures that 10g of each earbud fits snugly, gently curving for optimal comfort while prioritising situational awareness. By not sealing off the ears from the surrounding environment, it allows wearers to remain acutely aware of their surroundings and any potential hazards. Whether out jogging, cycling, or even walking, being aware of your surroundings is crucial for avoiding accidents or unexpected obstacles. Too often, I see people wearing the latest and greatest over-ear noise-cancelling headphones, oblivious to their surroundings.
The open-air design of the S30 won’t block the sounds around you, so their open-air design is the opposite of noise-cancelling earphones. However, you can enjoy your music while still being able to make split-second decisions and take appropriate actions to steer clear of any unforeseen incidents.
With IPX5 water and sweat resistance, the S30 stands up to rigorous workouts or even light rain, ensuring they remain functional and comfortable throughout your exercises.
The charging case is bulky as it needs to house the earphones, but thanks to the pebble-like shape, it wasn’t a problem slipping into my jeans pocket. Around the back of the case are the USB-C port for charging and the Bluetooth pairing button. Unfortunately, the case doesn’t support wireless charging.
Powered by a 14.2 mm dynamic driver with a DLC diaphragm, the S30 delivers impressive sound quality. Featuring what 1More calls DBB low-frequency enhancement algorithm to help boost the bass response which is generally a weakness of the open-air design. As a result, the sound has a wide soundstage, a well-balanced tone range, and a fullness that I wasn't expecting. People who dislike big over-ear headphones and cannot utilise in-ear buds are frequently the ones I suggest open-air design earphones like the S30, too. However, the S30 is also highly recommended due to their excellent sound quality!
The S30 are also great for calls thanks to the four-mic intelligent noise cancelling feature that filters environmental noise during calls, which will keep your voice clear, reducing the external sounds in your environment.
The S30 offers an impressive 30-hour battery life, including the case and 10 hours on the earphones, ensuring you enjoy your favourite music during long exercise sessions. They also feature Bluetooth 5.3 for seamless connectivity and fast pairing with either Android or iOS devices.
While the S30 offer exceptional audio for athletes, you must consider your personal preferences. Some users may prefer traditional in-ear or over-ear headphones, which provide more comprehensive noise isolation due to their closed-back design.
The 1More Fit SE S30 Open earphones are a sound investment for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to enhance their workout routines. They offer superb comfort, top-notch performance and sound quality at an affordable price.
