1MORE Introduces Aero, Its First Spatial Audio Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation
1MORE, a globally distributed premium consumer audio company, announces an exciting new addition to its True Wireless earbuds range with the release of the 1MORE Aero. The Aero is one of only a select handful of earbuds offering a new listening experience with the inclusion of Spatial Audio; a dynamic head-tracking technology via a built-in gyroscope allowing the user to venture into immersion. Along with the ability to detect the listener's head movements in real time, the Aero comes complete with 1MORE's wide frequency QuietMax active noise-canceling (ANC) technology that provides up to 42dB of noise-canceling depth at a wider than normal range of frequencies from 40 Hz up to 4000 Hz, meaning the 1MORE Aero can block out more of the ambient noise whether it be the roar from the in-flight engines to the hustle & bustle of traditional city life. Furthermore, the Aero introduces the Smart Loudness Technology, which can provide a richer, more complete listening experience even at lower volumes with AI automatically compensating for many of the missing details both at high & low frequencies. The result is a punchier, much more resonant sound, for $109.99.
Featuring 10 mm drivers alongside diamond-like-carbon diaphragm for both an impactful bass and scintillating acoustic highs, the 1MORE Aero can also cater to all music genres thanks to 12 studio-grade EQ presets via the 1MORE MUSIC App. Like all of 1MORE's headphones, the Aero is already precisely tuned and balanced by Luca Bignardi - 1MORE's famed in-house 4-time Grammy award-winning sound engineer. The Aero offers 28-hours of playback and a 15-minute Quick Charge feature that allows the Aero to gain back 3-hours of playtime. The 1MORE Aero also features Qi technology for effortless wireless charging. The Aero also supports the latest Dual-Device connectivity, allowing for a simultaneous connection of two separate devices that the user can seamlessly switch between.
The Aero comes with five noise-canceling modes, including a milder mode, Wind Noise Resistant mode to help filter out microphone interference, an Adaptive ANC mode to automatically detect the right level of noise canceling depth based on the ambient sounds around the user, and a Transparency Mode that keeps the real world at their fingertips to clearly hear important travel announcements, all without removing the earbuds.
Pre-orders for the Aero open from October 18th (US and CA only) and officially launch on October 25th. To celebrate the launch, 1MORE is offering $20 off between October 18th to November 18th using coupons at Amazon and via the code 'AERO20' redeemable on the 1MORE US and UK website. Orders placed on the USA website within the first month will also come with a free Qi charger.
Product MSRP: $109.99; $89.99 after $20 discount (valid until November 18th)

I do love my AirPods Pro though!One very important thing I've discovered about ANC devices is fit. Over ear headphones aren't necessarily better. I have a pair of Bose QC25 headphones which theoretically should be better than my AirPods Pro simply from the better passive noise isolation.
That actually is not the case. For whatever reason, the ear tips of the AirPods Pro provide a super good seal with my ear canals. The actual listening experience is far better with my AirPods Pro than the Bose.
I bought the Bose when the consensus was that it was still better than Sony's first gen ANC headphones. Today Sony's headphones are probably better than Bose's latest but I'm not buying new ANC listening devices every year.
As for ANC earbuds, I'll probably end up sticking with Apple because the tip design is extremely well matches for my ear canal shape. And this isn't some sort of inane fanboy loyalty decision. I never liked any of Apple's wired earbuds since the fit was never that good. It's only the AirPods Pro.
It also helps that I use an iPhone and the AirPods Pro are better integrated with the phone but the main thing is that the AirPods Pro tip fit is optimal for me.
I have excellent passive sound isolation from my AirPods Pro (before I activate ANC). I've worn about two decades worth of earbuds that didn't have that same fit and now I truly appreciate the value of a great fitting eartip.
I used to think that over-ear ANC headphones were better. I also used to read ANC product reviews to learn about ANC performance improvements, etc. including Sony ANC earbuds like the ones you mentioned.
It turns out that the fit is more important than either.
I hate headphones and even though the Bose QC25s provided good ANC performance, I wanted to rip them off my head after an hour. So I ended up using them exclusively on long airplane flights.
Using ANC headphones/earbuds is much more than a frequency response curve. It's also important to note that a really well fitting set of earbuds can be comfortably worn much longer. The old wired Apple earbuds that didn't fit as well became uncomfortable after a while.
