Has hype ever impressed you more than the actual product itself? There is a horror-thriller movie released recently called Longlegs that had a string of marketing before its release. While many movies these days suffer from revealing too many key plot points in the trailer, these teasers did exactly what a teaser should do, which is to tease the movie. In fact, it did even less than that. As I went into the movie, I had little to no knowledge of the plot and what direction the story was going to lead. The distributor, Neon, had released many teasers on their YouTube channel, and all of them were very short and creepy, setting up a great atmosphere of what to expect from the tone of the film without giving any key plot points away. They also created a custom website for the movie to emulate events that had occurred in the movie, and even set up a phone number for people to call and listen to a creepy voice on the end -- which I did not try, haha. Neon pushed forward with this for most of 2024 to generate hype, and as a result, many people were excited for this movie and ended up watching it, making Longlegs plenty of box office money. In a similar way, 1MORE continues to push forward with their open design earbuds with the 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30, which we will be looking at today. I recently reviewed their Fit Open Earbuds S50, so it will be interesting to see how their S30 earbuds compare. Will 1MORE be able to keep up the momentum with their open design earbuds? Let us read on to find out!
Today’s unit of the 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30 arrived from their American headquarters in San Diego, California, USA. Traveling through Amazon Shipping, the brown box arrived in great condition with no scratches or tears to us here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Although not shown in this photo but as mentioned earlier, 1MORE also sent us their Fit Open Earbuds S50 for review as well, which I covered a few weeks back.
The 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30's retail box is similar to what you would expect to other 1MORE retail boxes we have seen in the past, with a mix of black and gray accents in sight here. The only other color here aside from the black and gray that covers the box is the red rectangle that envelopes the 1MORE logo on the top left and the white text at the bottom left. The product name and text below describe the product, specifically emphasizing the open-air technology for comfort, directional sound technology, four ENC microphones, and IPX5 water resistance. A scaled-up version of the S30 earbuds is shown in front of the case. More information on the product can be found on the back of the box.
