The video is a comprehensive review of the One More Color Buds earphones. Tony highlights key features, including the lightweight design, various color options, touch-sensitive buttons, and Bluetooth 5.0 support with aptX and AAC codecs. He appreciates their snug fit and stylish earphone design but criticizes the case's glossy finish and color. The earbuds can function independently, unlike other models with a master-slave setup, and the One More Music app offers battery indicators and limited touch button customization.
In terms of performance, the earphones fare better than some competitors like Creative Outlier in background noise isolation but fall short in comparison to high-end models like Jabra 75t. They use balanced armature drivers, providing a tonally flatter sound, particularly benefiting mid-range frequencies suitable for podcasts and vocals, though they lack the punchy low end of dynamic drivers. The soundstage and instrument separation are also not up to par, making the audio experience less dynamic and more claustrophobic than competitors such as Creative and JBL. Despite good traits like style, battery life, and decent call quality, the earphones are ultimately critiqued for their overall sound quality and soundstage.

In this part of the video, Tony reviews the One More Color Buds, noting their vibrant design and price of around £99/$99. He mentions that the package includes the earphones in a charging case, a USB Type-A to USB Type-C connector, and various colored ear tips. The case and earphones together weigh about 40 grams, making them lightweight. While Tony isn’t a fan of the greenish color and glossy finish of the case, he appreciates its lightweight and well-designed rounded edges. The earphones weigh 4.1 grams each and fit snugly in his ears. They feature magnetic charging, a pairing button, and battery life indicators. The charging case provides up to 22 hours of playback, which is less than some competitors like the Creative Outlier Air, which offers up to 30 hours. Tony concludes that while he dislikes the case design, he admires the stylish appearance of the earphones.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the features of the One More Color Buds earphones. They highlight that the earphones come in various colors, including black for those who prefer a less vibrant look. The earphones have touch-sensitive buttons on both earpieces and support Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX and AAC codecs. Additionally, the earbuds can work independently unlike other models which have a master-slave setup. The One More Music app provides battery level indicators, smart playback, and customizable touch-sensitive buttons, although customization is somewhat limited. The call quality is demonstrated, noting that while decent for the price, it doesn’t match more expensive models like the Jabra 75t.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares the performance of two sets of earphones, focusing on background noise management and voice isolation. They note that while the Creative Outlier earphones struggle with background noise, the One More earphones do a better job of isolating the speaker’s voice, though not as effectively as higher-end models. The discussion then shifts to sound quality, highlighting the use of balanced armature drivers in these earphones, which differs from many competitors that utilize dynamic drivers. This distinction is significant because balanced armature drivers typically provide a more tonally flat sound, whereas dynamic drivers offer a more dynamic and punchy low end.
The speaker mentions that the earphones support aptX and AAC codecs, with no issues in lip sync or video delay when used with a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. They express mixed feelings about the overall sound quality. The sub-bass lacks the extension of dynamic drivers, while the mid-bass is tighter and more precise. The earphones excel in the mid-range, making them suitable for podcasts and vocal tracks, as the mids are more forward sounding compared to competitors. However, the highs, while decent, are not as vibrant. The speaker’s main complaint is the soundstage and instrument separation, which fall short of expectations for balanced armature drivers.

In this part of the video, the reviewer discusses the performance of a pair of earphones with a focus on their tonality, imaging, and instrument separation. While the earphones have good tonality, their instrument separation is lacking, making them sound less dynamic and more claustrophobic compared to competitors, such as the Creative Outlier Air. The reviewer notes that despite some good traits, such as style, charging case, battery life, and call quality, these earphones fall short in sound quality and soundstage when compared to alternatives like Creative and JBL. The reviewer concludes with a verdict that these earphones are not as good as their competitors in terms of overall sound quality.
