OneOdio C Studio Headphones hands-on review

**Get one here: amzn.to/486H0pu **
When you’re shopping for headphones, sometimes the lowest price is a red flag, but when those same headphones have tens of thousands of nearly 5-star reviews online, you have to wonder what you’re missing. That’s why I ordered a pair of OneOdio C Studio wireless over-ear headphones.
In this review I'll tell you what they're like when it comes to sound quality, whether they're comfortable and easy to wear, and what you're getting for the price. I'll wrap things up with the pros and the cons and let you know if I think I can recommend these headphones to you.

When it comes to making a good pair of headphones with a reasonable price point, brands should focus on a specific set of features to cater to a certain crowd. This is why some headphones boast noise-canceling while others focus on audio quality. Audio quality can mean several things where some product makers strive to enhance certain music genres while others concentrate on accuracy for audio production. Focusing on accuracy is a tricky task and is often why you pay a premium for “Studio” type headphones. Back in late 2021, a Hong Kong-based company named OneOdio rocked that boat by charging $50 USD for its OneOdio C Studio Wireless Y80B headphones. Are cheap studio headphones the oxymoron to avoid?
Keep in mind that “OneOdio C” does not mean USB-C as the package includes an outdated microUSB charging cable. (Even though OneOdio released the Y80B three years ago, let’s remember that the $80 Anker Soundcore Life Q30 launched back in late 2020 with a USB-C port.)
Design & materials
The looks and flexibility of the OneOdio Y80B ticks a lot of the boxes of a studio headphones product. Wear them, go look in the mirror and you look like a DJ. You can rotate each earcup 180 degrees or flip them 90 degrees which are essential features for one-ear monitoring. Then when you need to travel, you can just fold them 90 degrees and easily stuff it in the included drawstring bag.
Not surprisingly, OneOdio is made entirely of plastic, with some decent faux leather cushioning on the earcups and headband. Interestingly, the ear pad cushions are replaceable in case they wear out and OneOdio’s official website sells replacement pads, even if the third-party ecosystem isn’t as diverse as, say, Audio-Technica.
The right earcup features the sole 3.5mm jack along with a trio of physical buttons for controlling playback and volume. The central button has multiple functions ranging from powering the headphones to Bluetooth toggling and also playing, pausing, and placing and ending calls.
Fit & comfort
The plastic build has two immediate and noticeable effects; the first thing is it makes these headphones extremely light, which can be a huge benefit. The other thing it does is creates a rather creaky construction. Touching the headphones or moving them around, or pressing any of the buttons often results in them sounding hollow and empty; like if you put a plastic bowl over your ear and tapped it-tok tok tok.
The lightweight actually makes these quite wearable for even long listening sessions. The headband doesn't have a lot of pinch; the part I liked the least about these is that the ear cubs are a little bit awkwardly shaped so they feel like they enclose my ears a bit more than some other over ear headphones. In a nutshell I’d call these comfortable if not luxurious.
Audio
The OneOdio C Studio Wireless Y80B comes equipped with 50mm neodymium speaker drivers to allow each earcup to pump out punchy audio without adding too much weight. You won’t get any active noise cancellation with these cans, but a proper fit can drown out some of the ambient noise.
Sound quality
One of the most important things about headphones is the sound quality.
Connectivity
For wireless connections, the Y80B uses Bluetooth 5.0 which is pretty dated at this point, but it should allow pairing with just about every modern smartphone, tablet, and laptop. The key benefit of Bluetooth 5.0 over 4.2 is its 800-feet range which should make them good TV companions too if your TV supports Bluetooth audio.
Battery life
With its built-in 1,000mAh battery, OneOdio estimates 110 hours’ worth of play time although that figure can vary depending on your volume levels. I did my best to exhaust the battery in these during my testing. Which lasted about a week. Given the 110 hour battery would take you to about 13 days when listening for eight hours a day, it's going to take me a lot longer to try and run them out. For the moment I can confirm the battery life seems like it is as advertised.
Recharging takes about 4-5 hours, which is a long time, but you can make things easier by plugging them in overnight.

Pity about the micro-USB, they need to update that quick smart.

OneOdio stinks real bad. Buzzy speakers. Crummy headphones.
