Customer Review Summary
Introduction to the OneOdio Pro 60
The OneOdio Pro 60, released in September 2023, targets budget-conscious audio enthusiasts and professionals needing dependable monitoring headphones. Priced at around £43, its main features include circumaural, closed-back design, 50 mm dynamic drivers, and dual jack input options, making it versatile for various listening scenarios.
Build and Design
The Pro 60 model features a predominantly plastic construction, which contributes to a lightweight feel but may affect perceived durability. The headphones exhibit a traditional over-ear, closed-back design with large ear cups meant to envelop the ears fully. The circumaural fit improves sound isolation and reduces ambient noise intrusion.
Adjustability is built primarily into the headband, but users with larger heads may find the clamping force somewhat restrictive over extended periods. The ear pads are notably thick and soft, providing initial comfort. However, due to their softness, the ear cups can compress excessively during wear, leading to a relatively tight fit. Some users have adapted by inserting cushioning rings inside the pads to mitigate this pressure.
Connectivity and Cables
- The headphones come with two detachable cables: a 3 metre coiled cable with a 6.3 mm jack and a cable with an integrated microphone and 3.5 mm jack.
- Dual input jacks (6.3 mm large and 3.5 mm small) on opposite sides allow flexibility depending on device compatibility, eliminating the need for adapters.
- One-sided cable routing simplifies cable management but also requires attention to cable length and placement to avoid interference during movement.
One drawback reported is the longer 6.3 mm connector, which may catch on shoulders during head movements; shorter adaptors or cables might improve comfort in this respect.
Sound Quality
With an impedance of approximately 32-35 Ohms and a frequency response spanning 15 Hz to 40,000 Hz, the Pro 60 delivers broad spectral coverage suitable for various audio tasks. The maximum sound pressure level reaches 110 dB, adequate for personal monitoring.
Users consistently praise the headphones for strong, punchy bass and clear, defined highs. The 50 mm drivers impart a robust low-end, making them suitable for contemporary music listening and casual studio work. However, the midrange has drawn mixed reactions, with some finding it harsh or “cutting,” which could be addressed with equalisation according to individual preference.
The soundstage and imaging are not expansive but offer sufficient clarity and separation for mixing and mastering at this price point.
Comfort and Wearability
Comfort is generally rated positively, especially due to thick ear cushions and decent clamping force that keeps the headphones secure during use. The circumaural design ensures good passive noise isolation, enhancing focused listening sessions.
Nevertheless, for users with larger heads or those wearing the headphones for extended periods, some discomfort arises from the ear cup pressure and relatively firm headband tension. The material’s breathability is typical for closed designs, with some warmth and moisture build-up during longer use.
Additional Observations
- The headphone’s foldable and rotatable design aids portability but can complicate quick adjustments when worn.
- The plastic casing avoids excess weight but may reduce the premium feel expected by some users.
- The included carrying bag offers added convenience for transport and storage.
Conclusion
The OneOdio Pro 60 is a competent set of closed-back wired headphones offering solid audio performance at a modest price. It stands out with dual jack inputs and detachable cables, catering to users with diverse devices without extra adapters. Sound reproduction is bold with enhanced bass and crisp highs, making it well suited for casual listening and entry-level audio production.
While some aspects like midrange harshness, comfort for larger heads, and cable length could be improved, the overall package represents excellent value. Suitable for budget-conscious consumers seeking practical studio headphones, the Pro 60 blends functionality with affordability effectively.
