1More Q21

Name: 1More Q21
Brand: 1More
SKU: 6448

Manufacturer: 1More

The 1More Q21 are true wireless earbuds designed for everyday listening without the hassle of cables. Built around an in-ear fit and rated IPX5 for water resistance, they cover the basics of portability and durability in a compact form. Active noise cancellation is on board, alongside a passive noise-isolating design that works together to reduce outside sound in a variety of environments. A travel bag is included in the package, and voice prompts help guide users through controls and settings.

On the technical side, the Q21 uses a 12 mm driver unit with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and an impedance of 32 Ohms. Bluetooth 5.4 handles wireless connectivity, and LDAC codec support allows for higher-bitrate audio transmission where compatible. AAC is also supported. The earbuds carry a 4-microphone setup with noise-canceling microphone performance for calls, and a mute function is available. Battery life reaches 5.5 hours on a single charge, or around 4 hours with ANC active, while the 600mAh charging case extends total playback to roughly 24.4 hours. Fast charging is supported via USB Type-C, with a full charge taking approximately 1.5 hours.

Pros

Active noise cancellation combined with passive noise isolation provides two layers of sound reduction
LDAC codec support enables higher-bitrate wireless audio transmission
Four-microphone setup with noise-canceling functionality improves call clarity
The 600mAh charging case extends total playback to 24.4 hours, making it suitable for extended use away from a power source
Fast charging is supported via USB Type-C, reducing downtime
A travel bag is included, adding practical portability out of the box

Cons

Bluetooth range is limited to 10 m, which restricts movement from the connected device
No wireless charging support for the case
In/on-ear detection is absent, meaning music does not pause automatically when the earbuds are removed
No find device feature, which can be inconvenient if an earbud is misplaced
Spatial audio, Dolby Atmos, and Dirac Virtuo are not supported, limiting immersive audio options

Who is this for?

The 1More Q21 suits users who want a wire-free listening experience with active noise cancellation for commuting, office work, or travel, where blocking out ambient sound is a regular need. The IPX5 water resistance rating makes them a reasonable choice for workouts or outdoor use in light rain. Those who prioritize longer listening sessions will appreciate the combined 24.4-hour battery life from the earbuds and case, along with fast charging support for quick top-ups. Users who stream music in higher quality via LDAC-compatible devices will also find the codec support worthwhile.

Who is this NOT for?

The Q21 is less suited to users who rely on spatial audio or immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos, as none of these are supported. The 10 m Bluetooth range may frustrate those who frequently move away from their source device, such as in larger home or gym environments. Users who want the convenience of wireless case charging or automatic playback pausing when removing an earbud will find both features absent. Those looking for advanced codec options beyond LDAC and AAC, such as any variant of aptX, will also find the connectivity options limited.
