Unlike many other affordable headphones, they don’t look like budget headphones, with a nicer-than-average finish.

OneOdio A10 wireless headphones feature advanced Hybrid active noise cancelation (ANC) technology and long battery life.

The OneOdio A10s use a slimmed-down over-ear throw in of fit.

Four hard drivers sticking out of a rack-mount server that’s being used as a NAS.

For me, the comfort was still nice after two hours, especially since the headphones are fairly lightweight.

If you have larger ears, you may not be as comfortable.

There’s an included case, which is somewhat of a surprise, given the price.

The right side has three buttons: two volume buttons and a multifunction button.

The left button contains a single button to toggle through noise-canceling modes.

Pressing this button allows you to switch between noise cancelation, transparent listening, and no noise cancelation.

OneOdio A10 wireless headphones feature advanced Hybrid active noise cancelation (ANC) technology and long battery life.

An LED near the button shows whether these modes are on or off.

Somewhat surprisingly, there is no companion smartphone app to download.

This has both positives and negatives.

In many cases, you’ll notice this less as the drivers break in.

This isn’t something I regularly notice in budget headphones.

You won’t find artificially inflated booming bass or overly sibilant highs.

This is especially nice considering there is no app with an EQ mode meant for podcasts.

This is just the noise damping you get from the pads around your ears, not actual noise cancelation.

The OneOdio A10 headphones, on the other hand, actually featureactive noise cancellation (ANC).

you could tell it’s working when you turn it on, but the results are mixed.

I’ve heard less effective transparent modes on headphones that are easily twice the price of the A10s.

The same can’t be said for the built-in microphone, which is serviceable at best.

What’s slightly odd is that OneOdio claims up to 62 hours using only ANC.

This is because plugging in the cable automatically shuts the headphones off.

Once you finally do run out of battery, you won’t be without music for long.

Should You Buy the OneOdio Focus A10?

This is a solid budget pair of wireless headphones.

There are limitations, namely noise cancelation.

Call quality isn’t great, so keep that in mind if you’re buying headphones mainly for calls.

You might do better for the price, but you may have to make sacrifices to do so.
