1MORE has launched the S20 Ultra, an open-ear clip-on earbud featuring high-resolution wireless audio, environmental awareness, and long-lasting comfort, aiming to disrupt the portable audio market for commuters and lifestyle users worldwide.
1MORE has launched the S20 Ultra, a pair of open-ear clip-on earbuds that aim to combine environmental awareness with higher-grade wireless audio. The company has set the price at $79.99 and says the model is being sold through authorised channels worldwide, including its own shop and Amazon, with a 20% introductory discount for the first 30 days.
The S20 Ultra is built around a three-magnet acoustic system, which 1MORE says is intended to improve bass depth, midrange accuracy and treble clarity. More notably, it supports LDAC and carries Hi-Res Wireless certification, a combination that should appeal most to Android users with compatible devices. In practice, the benefit will still depend on the source material, the playback device and the open-ear design, which cannot isolate sound in the same way as sealed earbuds.
To tackle one of the main compromises of open-ear listening, 1MORE has added SDT Sound Focusing 2.0, a directional system that is meant to push more audio towards the ear and reduce leakage. The company also includes a 360-degree panoramic mode for listeners who want a broader, more spacious presentation. That may suit films and casual use, although some users will still prefer the more conventional stereo image of standard audio mode.
The hardware is positioned for long wear. 1MORE says the C-shaped clip uses nickel-titanium memory wire, while BalanceAIR+ 3.0 is designed to spread pressure more evenly around the ear. The company also claims the structure has been tested for 10,000 bends and is far lighter than traditional ear-clip products. With IPX5 water resistance, up to 8.5 hours of playback per charge and as much as 40 hours including the case, the S20 Ultra appears aimed at commuters, office users and runners. A four-microphone ENC system is included for calls, alongside Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device switching and app-based controls for locating the earbuds and adjusting sound.
