- OneOdio’s new headphones cost just $34.99 / £39.99 (about AU$80)
- Bluetooth 6.0 with fast charging and active noise cancellation
- 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 for very low prices. But even by OneOdio’s standards the new Focus A1 Pro are ridiculously cheap for noise-cancelling over-ears: the official is $34.99 / £39.99, and if you’re buying from Amazon UK, you can get them for £35.19.
Low price definitely doesn’t mean low specification or low expectations. These are Bluetooth 6.0 headphones with hybrid ANC, fast charging and a decent frequency response, and while you don’t get any fancy hi-res audio codecs at this price, they’re likely to sound pretty good with the standard Bluetooth audio codecs.
OneOdio Focus A1 Pro: key features
The OneOdio Focus A1 Pro feature 40mm dynamic drivers with PET diaphragms 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.
The Focus A1 Pro are foldable and lightweight at just 200g, and the faux-leather ear cushions should be comfortable for long listening. 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 haven’t tested these headphones yet to see if that can stand up the best noise cancelling headphones in their price range – but when we reviewed the same firm’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 outside.
We liked their sound too, and the companion app has an adjustable EQ so you can get the sound just-so. We felt that the Focus A6 were “tremendous value for money” at a street price of $55 / £55 / AU$112; the Focus A1 Pro are even more affordable and offer a very similar specification.
The OneOdio Focus A1 Pro headphones are available now from Amazon and directly from OneOdio.
