Review on 🎧 Long-Lasting Wireless Headphones with 80 Hrs Playtime – OneOdio Studio Y80B (Red) by David Carmody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Oh I love these! Very good universal headphones

Short summary: I really like these headphones. Summary with more details: I bought these headphones to replace my Plantronics Gamecom 780 which I have had for many years (more than 5 years if you think about it). The reason was that I wanted to switch back to analogue jacks instead of USB because I had problems with my Gamecom 780 crashing during Zoom meetings. I also liked the wireless option as I can work from home and connect my phone and computer to the headphones at the same time so I can take calls without having to switch headsets. And after hours, I can switch to a wired connection for gaming or audio editing projects (which I do on the side). Pros: Looks very well put together. Feels solid. The microphone cable is long and has a volume/mute button. This is quite comfortable, although ears can get warm (but not always for some reason). Sound quality is acceptable and clear enough for what I'm using. I'd say the balance is neutral or flat, meaning you're hearing what you "should" hear. You can add bass or treble if you want, but without effects and a flat EQ you end up with a naturally balanced sound (which actually isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you want it balanced in a specific way is out of the box). It blocks a lot of outside noise, even if it doesn't have active noise cancellation. During Zoom meetings, the wired mic sounds very clear (I've heard myself on some conference recordings and I'm usually one of the clearer sounding participants). I haven't heard myself over wireless yet, but people seem to be able to hear me on the phone. It folds up very nicely. I didn't really check the battery life as I've been working from home for the past few months. Cons: The only downside is that your ears might get warm. That was my very first impression when I put them on for the first time, but then I kinda got used to it. Otherwise he feels fine. I wear them to work most of the day (well not all the time, but most of the time I wear them) and a few hours at night. Update: 12/20/2020After more than 7 months of daily continuous use, the headphones are physically broken. I was in my home office when my wife and son suddenly burst in and started yelling at me (they were upset about something I can't remember), so I took the headphones off my ears and TRACK. The right side is broken. However, I contacted support, sent them some pictures and they agreed to send me a new replacement! They have 24 months warranty and stick to it! So I would give it six stars. Because it means that if my son's pair breaks, we can also replace it (he's broken about 4-5 different types of headsets at the moment, but the Oneodio set he has now lasted for several months) . Unfortunately, this is a scale from 1 to 5, so 5.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
