- OneOdio’s new headphones are just $34.99 / £39.99 (about AU$80)
- Bluetooth 6.0 with fast charging and active noise reduction
- 70 hours of playback time with ANC off
We’ve been regularly impressed by OneOdio’s budget headphones, such as the OneOdio Focus A6, which deliver very good performance at very low prices. But even by OneOdio’s standards, the new Focus A1 Pro is ridiculously cheap for noise-canceling over-ears: the official one is $34.99 / £39.99, and if you buy from Amazon UK you can get them for £35.19.
Low price definitely does not mean low specifications or low expectations. They’re Bluetooth 6.0 headphones with hybrid ANC, fast charging, and a decent frequency response, and while you won’t get any fancy high-res audio codecs at this price, they’ll probably sound pretty good with standard Bluetooth audio codecs.
OneOdio Focus A1 Pro: key features
OneOdio Focus A1 Pro has 40 mm dynamic drivers with PET membranes and a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. Bluetooth 6.0 with multi-point pairing makes it easy to move between devices, and there’s a low-latency gaming mode with a claimed response time of approximately 0.089 seconds for accurate synchronization with games and video.
Focus A1 Pro are foldable and light at only 200g, and the imitation leather ear cushions should be comfortable when listening for a long time. The battery delivers just that, with up to 70 hours of playback with ANC off, plus fast charging that can deliver five hours of listening from 10 minutes of charging.
We’ve yet to test these headphones to see if they can hold their own against the best noise-canceling headphones in their price range – but when we reviewed the same company’s Focus A6, we praised the ANC: it’s not up there with the best from Bose, but it’s perfectly fine for everyday commuting and does a pretty good job of keeping the outside world out.
We also liked their sound, and the companion app has an adjustable EQ so you can get the sound just right. We felt the Focus A6 was “tremendous value for money” at an on-the-road price of $55 / £55 / AU$112; The Focus A1 Pro is even more affordable and offers a very similar specification.
The OneOdio Focus A1 Pro headphones are available now from Amazon and direct from OneOdio.
