Subjective Audio Analysis
Testing audio products by ear is a difficult task. There are subjective parts to testing by ear, which unfortunately cannot be eliminated. My taste or preference will bleed into the results. However, taking the time and putting the 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30 through its pace will hopefully eliminate, or at the very least, reduce as much of the subjectivity possible. There is extremely expensive equipment attempting to come to some sort of objective measurement, but it is still a challenge, since every person will pick up a pair of headphones and experience it slightly differently. With that in mind, I will do my best to provide an objective measurement through extensive tests and with a good understanding of my reference pair of headphones. I am testing the 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30 primarily as wireless headphones connecting via Bluetooth to my phone or laptop, as they are marketed as Bluetooth earbuds, so they will be tested as such.
As we have mentioned in my past audio reviews, there are really no true objective measurements for speaker sound quality. As the reviewer, however, I will put it through a series of subjective tests to try to come up with the most objective rating possible. Yes, it is quite a paradox haha. Tests were conducted primarily wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.3 with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which has support for both AAC and aptX. After over 50 hours of break-in time -- well above the typically required period -- we put the 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30 to the tests. All tracks were uncompressed or high bitrate files.
