Founded about ten years ago, OneOdio is a company specializing in the manufacture of audio equipment, in particular headphones. His bet? Offer quality products, without unnecessarily inflating the bill. Spotlight on this brand with an interesting positioning.
The audio equipment market, particularly in the headphones and earphones segment, is split between two trends. On the one hand, brands that offer inexpensive products, but of questionable quality. On the other, well-known brands whose catalog is full of premium products, but at particularly steep prices. It is therefore difficult to find a satisfactory in-between both in terms of quality and price.
This is where brands like OneOdio come in. Founded more than ten years ago, this Chinese company aims to offer its audio equipment at the best price (often under 100 euros), without skimping on manufacturing quality and performance. The result is a range of products aimed at audiophiles who do not have an expandable budget. A philosophy and a positioning rare enough to be underlined and of which OneOdio is the spokesperson with its helmets such as OneOdio A70 or the OneOdio Pro50.
OneOdio’s proposal: make quality sound accessible to as many people as possible
OneOdio’s philosophy is based on a fairly simple double observation. First, that music is an essential part of the human experience. Then, that quality helmets have a cost, often very high, which makes them inaccessible to the greatest number.
The company has therefore set itself the challenge of finding the balance between quality products and affordable prices. And OneOdio seems to have won its bet: established in more than 30 countries around the world, the brand now offers a wide range of products that meet the main needs of amateur DJs and sound lovers who cannot afford to put on astronomical sums in their audio equipment.
In order to achieve this result, OneOdio has worked on several axes, which are the strength of its products. First, the design of its helmets, which focuses above all on robustness and comfort. Most models, such as those from the Pro or Monitor ranges, are quite massive, with wide padded headbands and ear cups lined with foam pads that make them both durable and comfortable to wear during long sessions. However, OneOdio had to make some concessions on materials and opt for a majority of plastic in order to lower production costs.
Where the manufacturer has not skimped on the other hand, it is on the side of the audio equipment. The vast majority of headphones are equipped with 50 mm speakers with a neodymium magnet and an impedance around 32 ohms. An ideal value for most uses and which prevents sound distortion. Some models, like the Monitor 80, even have an impedance of 250 ohms, which allows them to be used without any problem on amps or mixers in order to enjoy a thinner and fuller sound.
OneOdio has also thought about its products very extensively in terms of use and offers some particularly interesting and well-thought-out features. The vast majority of headphones have for example two Jack outputs, one 3.5 mm and one 6.5 mm which allows it to be connected to two separate sources, or to share the sound with another headphone. Each helmet is also sold with the cables ad hoc. Depending on the model, it is also possible to find a Bluetooth connection or active noise reduction without this inflating the bill beyond 100 euros.
