OneOdio says you should use this for DJing (and I can’t say anything about this, as this is a field I don’t know enough about), as well as monitoring and mixing; I very much doubt that these headphones can be good for mixing, due to their heavily coloured signature that can mask details and give a wrong impression of how the music really sounds.

On the right earpiece you’ll find power and volume/track skip buttons while on the left is the ANC on/off button. However, you need to make sure the ANC is turned off when you finish using the A10s or it will slowly eat into the available charge. Generally speaking, the sound the A10s make is warm, coherent and well balanced with no obvious sonic Achilles’ heel. With superior sound quality and a variety of colours and styles to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect set of headphones for you. Compared to the Koss, the OneOdio sounded more closed-in and bass-focused, while the Koss was more expansive and mid-centric.The OneOdio logo is screen printed on top, looking quite subtle - the absence of any overt branding on the A10 is one of the highlights for us minimalists. They do have a nice design and a very long battery life, but they also don’t fare too well in terms of sound quality.

These headphones are also extremely comfortable to wear, thanks to the ergonomic design and high protein memory earmuffs. The OneOdio Monitor 60 headphones come with three cables, including a 3m cable for hooking up to your TV, a 1.

It’s good because it cancels out noise very well, but not that good if you’re uncomfortable with that vacuum chamber effect. They got rid of that gaudy fake metal finish and instead went with a much more elegant matte plastic finish, save for a circle on the earcups that has glossy concentric circles on it.

This is one area where earbuds tend to perform better than headphones, unless the headphones were engineered predominantly with strong ANC in mind, like the XM4. Imaging is poor, as one can probably expect, with a good channel separation but with no accurate placing of instruments on the stage.They have undergone several rounds of testing to ensure professional-grade build, making them ideal for DJs and music producers. In general, they’re doing a good job with lower frequencies, reducing engine noise down to a minimum. While that means a person on the other side might hear you quietly typing on a keyboard, you’ll avoid sounding muffled. Where the OneOdio A10s succeed most for consumers is in lowering the cost barrier to entry to get features such as ANC in full-size over-ear headphones, without also dumbing down such features to the point of being useless. This switch is great because you can preserve battery life as well as easily toggling between the noise cancellation when it’s wanted or not wanted.

Everything feels a little tighter, and the volume seems a little quieter, so you may have to crank it up a little louder.

You can fit 2 and a half knuckles inside the earpads, which isn’t enough to fully accommodate human ears.
