Good Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headphones
Overall a good pair of headphones, but not perfect. They look like a quality build and are very comfortable. Soft padding is big enough to fully cover the ear – although that large size makes them less compact, but the earpieces swivel so you can lay it flatter and that helps. Sound is very good. Wish it could go louder but that is my usual complaint with headphones and they are probably sparing me ear damage. 🙂 The ANC (Active Noise Canceling) operation is a little different from what the manual says. The manual talks about a “transparency mode” and an “AI-Based Adaptive Noise Canceling Mode” but all I get is ANC on, ANC off and this “Ambient Sound Mode” which is ANC off with a light static sound. Don’t know what is up with that. As far as the standard ANC goes, it is good but not great. It totally blocks out a fan I have running, but I can still hear the TV. And I don’t like the absence of indicator lights. There is a Bluetooth pairing light and a charge light but no “on” light and the charge light just goes out when it is charged (not to a green light). However, there is an audible on and off (voice in the headphones) as well as audible confirmations of ANC mode. Packaging and documentation are very good.

First up, the bad: I don’t think you could call this noise cancelling so much as noise reducing. You can still hear most things, even when it’s on its highest setting. BUT it does reduce the noise around you, and if you like your music loud like I do then you probably won’t hear it anyway. And these headphones will go very loud if you want them to! If you’re looking for some headphones that’ll give you quiet music with nothing but silence in the background, though, you might need to look elsewhere. The noise cancelling is OK, just not as good as more expensive headphones.Now on to the good: The sound quality is awesome, especially if you’re a fan of bass like I am. There’s a lot of bass in these headphones – more than I expected there to be and it was a nice surprise because it’s set up mostly for bass and high end with a bit of a flat middle (exactly how I set up graphic equalizers). It sounds really good and they’ll go as loud as you could ever need them to.Connection is really easy – I’ve Bluetooth connected into them from three different devices now (mp3 player, phone and smart TV) and each time the headphones just appeared in the list of new devices to pair then paired immediately with no issues. Distance seems pretty acceptable. I’m able to use my mp3 player all around the main floor of my house with no loss of signal although that may vary depending on the device I guess. It works well for me, anyway.The fit around my ears is really good – they don’t seem to go *too* hot wearing them for a long time, either.Build quality is good – they feel nice and solid and they look quality too. There are metal connectors between the speakers and the part that goes over your head, so I would think they’re going to last much longer than headphones that would use plastic there so that’s another bonus.The box looked nice when it arrived (although I’m not a fan of the cheap white plastic inside it to be completely honest it would look slicker if it was a dark colour, card or foam instead) so you could give these as a give and the receiver would probably be impressed on seeing the box.I’m really glad I picked these up. I had some cheap ones that felt all plastic and cheap, but these are a nice quality feeling replacement for them.At time of writing this, these headphones are priced at CAD $99.99 with a $20 off coupon. I think this is a good price – excellent battery time, great sound quality and nice build.

OverallThe OneOdio headphones combine comfort, sound quality, and stylish design, making them an appealing choice for casual listeners and music enthusiasts alike. With deep bass performance and an eye-catching brass and black colour scheme, these headphones are well-suited for long listening sessions. However, the noise reduction feature slightly affects audio clarity, so it’s best reserved for particularly noisy settings.Packaging and SetupThe headphones arrive in a sleek, gift-ready box, complete with instructions and a charging cable. Conveniently, the headset came fully charged, allowing for immediate use right out of the box.Performance and ExperienceThe soft, over-ear cushions and adjustable headband make for a comfortable fit that accommodates a range of head sizes. I tested the sound quality across various songs to gauge its full range:Pigs (Three Different Ones) – Pink FloydUninvited – Alanis MorissetteCrime of the Century – SupertrampDark – WesGhostMore Than a Feeling – BostonWhole Lotta Love – Led ZeppelinBaba O’Riley – The WhoWalk That Walk – Dorrough MusicWow – Post MaloneThe bass performance stood out, delivering deep and rich tones, while high notes were clear and distortion-free, even at higher volumes. The overall sound quality was crisp and enjoyable, but it diminished noticeably with noise reduction enabled. The bass lost its richness, and the clarity suffered, so I’d recommend turning off noise reduction for the best listening experience unless you’re in a very noisy environment.For calls, the switch to the caller was seamless, although the person on the other end noted a slight “speakerphone effect.” Despite this, call quality was stable without any dropouts.OptionsAvailable in a modern brass and black colour scheme that adds a touch of sophistication to the design.ProsImpressive bass performanceComfortable, with an adjustable headband and soft cushioningFully charged and ready to use out of the boxStylish brass and black designConsNoise reduction affects sound qualityA slight “speakerphone effect” was reported by callersMy Testing & Rating Approach:I spend at least one week testing each product to ensure I can give a genuine, real-life assessment.

Bluetooth5.4 LDACなのでお試しにと思い購入。最近LDACコーデックの解像感とクリアさに漸く気づき、外出時に使える対応ヘッドホンを探してみました。密閉式で軽くかさばらないことも条件なので惹かれました。ところが使ってみるとAmazon musicではわかりやすく安物感がある籠もった音になりました。(もちろんレート上ではフルスペック再生)密閉型なのに音漏れ容赦無いし、ノイズキャンセルも効果をまるで実感できない。下手すっとお値段未満…これじゃ使えんぞ？と思っていたら、MP3ファイルの端末再生なら結構イイ(・∀・)音楽ファイルをプレーヤーでローカル再生すれば使えそうな気がします。マイク内蔵で通話も出来るし、用途次第では活用できるかな？
