One of their most recent models, the OneOdio Focus A10, provides wireless connectivity, active noise cancellation, and, surprisingly, Hi-Res audio certification. The headset is made to provide high-quality sound, a long battery life, and an ergonomic fit all at an affordable price. We'll discuss the features, performance, and motivation behind adding it to the Editor Picks list in this review.
OneOdio Focus A10 Design & Built
The OneOdio Focus A10 is constructed of metal and plastic and has a sleek, minimalistic design. It delivers a superb build quality that clearly goes above and beyond our expectations. Soft ear cushions and an adjustable headband are features of the headphones. The sponge wrap fits my head very comfortably and doesn't put a lot of pressure on the top. It can easily be folded up and stored in the included carrying case because it is suitable for carrying on the go.
With buttons for power, volume, play/ pause, and another button for ANC modes on the left ear cup, the Focus A10 has a straightforward and user-friendly control scheme. Additionally, the right-side buttons can be used to activate voice assistants, answer or reject calls, and switch between devices. Yes, the A10 headphones support dual connections, enabling seamless switching between two devices( such as phones, PCs, and tablets) without the need for manual reconnection.
The headphones have an LED indicator on each side that displays the battery and ANC status in addition to a built-in microphone that clearly captures users' voices.
OneOdio Focus A10 Wireless & Wired connection
The Focus A10 supports Bluetooth 5.0 and optimized connectivity, which resulted in a quick and reliable connection using both SBC and ACC high-quality codec. They can be used as wired headphones in addition to Bluetooth wireless connections thanks to a 3. 5mm audio jack, which can produce sound that is seamless and devoid of latency. Another surprise is that the inexpensive headphones have a Hi-Res audio certification, allowing them to produce good sound with an extensive frequency response.
OneOdio Focus A10 Comfortable Fit
The Focus A10's ear fit is cozy and adaptable. True protein memory foam is used in the earpads, allowing them to easily fit most sized heads and ears. They are comfortable to wear for a long time because they are lightweight and not too tight. Additionally, the cups effectively cover my ears and offer good isolation, which enhances the ANC features' actual experience.
Active Noise cancellation (ANC)
It sounds good that the Focus A10 has a noise reduction depth of 35dB. It can develop quiet listening, especially under low-frequency noises like engine hums, whereas the effect might not be as impressive for higher frequency sounds like voices. However, as we already mentioned, the cups are very physically isolated. Overall, when using the ANC mode and the transparent mode, it can handle the majority of situations.
OneOdio Focus A10 sound quality
The Focus A10 headphones have impressive sound quality, especially for the price. Over high, mid, and low frequencies, the headphones produce a balanced and detailed sound. The fact that it created a large, roomy soundstage with an intense, deep bass is what is most impressive. It's simple to put yourself in the middle of a surround-sound mix, and watching movies with stereo speakers makes it especially noticeable.
It also provided excellent vocal clarity for something a little softer, which went well with the instruments' crisp, smooth highs. Additionally, the Focus A10 creates a roomy concert hall-like environment when playing orchestral music, complete with expressive dynamics and distinct instrument separation. In fact, the experience is more enjoyable than its cost should be.
OneOdio Focus A10 Battery & charge
The headset's long battery life is another feature that makes it enjoyable. With ANC off, it can operate for up to 50 hours on a single charge, but with it turned on, the lifespan is already greater than that of the majority of wireless headphones. Additionally, the OneOdio team provides the headphones with a USB-C port for quick charging. When I'm on the road, it frequently gives me a lot of peace of mind because it can provide 2 hours of playback with just 10 minutes of charging. Stop scurrying around in search of a place to charge.
However, we must also acknowledge that having a companion app that offers multiple EQs or more specialized features would be almost ideal. Additionally, the microphone quality is not as shocking as it was earlier. However, the call quality still justifies the cost.
