Yevo Lans Yevo 1
A new contender in the wireless earbuds space, the YEVO 1 actually comes from the creators of Swedish fashion and lifestyle brand Happy Plugs, which might explain the emphasis on design. These are easily the best looking wireless earbuds we’ve come across so far, with a minimalistic design that ensures the earbuds t nicely into your ear instead of sticking out from it.
The included carrying case is equally sleek, with a pull-out drawer design that seems to have just enough resistance to stay closed thanks to what seems to be magnets within. This also provides an extra four charges to the earbuds, so you’ll get a full twenty hours in your pocket on the go. A row of lights on the side of the case indicate just how much battery life remains in the case.
As with the other earbuds in this shootout, the Yevo 1 uses touch controls on the side of the ear buds to perform various functions. What’s di erent, is that you can assign touch controls to either ear via the companion app, so you could have anything from just two controls to a full set of six. The app also adds EQ presets, the option for Audio Transparency, and allows you to visually monitor the remaining battery life on the earbuds.
In terms of audio performance, the Yevo 1 proved to be a quality product – when the connection between earbuds held up. We found that on numerous occasions, the left earbud would randomly drop out then come back in, which is obviously most distracting from the performance. When they do play together, the earbuds produce a nice wide soundstage, playing with both channels well to get a more obvious stereo e ect. Vocals are generally presented nicely forward, and if you put on a piece with heavy acoustic backing instruments like Diana Krall’s Temptation for example, you’ll be able to easily pick out each of the instruments. While the bass on these is still lacking some, there’s an extra bass booster mode you can activate if you need more. Rock pieces like the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Give it Away and Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic need a good deal of energy to get you moving, and these earbuds are certainly capable of providing it.
