Overview

The OneOdio Pro10 is a wired DJ and monitor headphone manufactured by the Chinese audio company OneOdio. It features 50mm neodymium drivers, a “dual-connector” that supports both 3.5mm and 6.35mm plugs, and rotating earcups for easy single-ear monitoring. It is sold for around 3,998 JPY (approx. 27 USD as of July 2025) and primarily targets users looking to acquire DJ gear on a low budget.

Scientific Validity

\[\Large \text{0.2}\]

The scientific validity of this product is rated as low. While the nominal frequency response is stated as 20Hz-20kHz, multiple third-party reviews indicate a “V-shaped” sound signature with overly emphasized bass and treble. Such characteristics represent a significant deviation, which is a “problem level” for monitor headphones that should faithfully reproduce the source audio, thus hindering accurate judgment of the original sound. Reliable data on Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is scarce, but considering the price point, achieving a transparent level is not expected, and the overall sound fidelity is undeniably low.

Technology Level

\[\Large \text{0.5}\]

The technology level is at the industry average. The 50mm neodymium drivers are standard components for products in this price range, and there are no proprietary technologies or innovative elements in its design. The focus is clearly on cost reduction by combining existing technologies. The dual-connector system and rotating earcups are practical, but these are more a matter of convenience than technological advancement.

Cost-Performance

\[\Large \text{0.8}\]

Considering its specific functionalities, this product demonstrates relatively high cost-performance. For this evaluation, we compared it with other products that also feature the “rotating earcup” function essential for DJing. For example, Behringer’s “HPX2000” offers similar functionality and is sold for about 3,300 JPY. While the Pro10 is slightly more expensive, it is among the cheapest headphones equipped with a DJ-style swivel mechanism. The score was calculated based on the following: 3,300 JPY (Behringer HPX2000) ÷ 3,998 JPY (OneOdio Pro10) ≒ 0.83 Rounding this, the score is 0.8. Although there are issues with sound quality, the fact that it provides necessary DJ features at this price point is commendable.

Reliability & Support

\[\Large \text{0.4}\]

Reliability and support are rated as below the industry average. OneOdio is a relatively new brand, and there is insufficient historical data on the long-term durability and failure rates of its products. While an official 24-month warranty is offered, the promptness and quality of the support system in various regions may not match those of established major manufacturers. There remains uncertainty regarding repair services for physical damage and the stability of parts supply.

Rationality of Design Philosophy

\[\Large \text{0.3}\]

The rationality of the design philosophy is rated as low. This product is marketed as a “monitor headphone,” yet its actual acoustic characteristics are V-shaped, tailored for casual listening. This fails to meet the fundamental requirement of a monitor headphone, which is to provide a flat and accurate sound reproduction. This indicates a clear mismatch between the product’s stated purpose and its design, which is irrational. While there is an effort to incorporate DJ-oriented physical features (like the swivel mechanism) at a low cost, the core acoustic design lacks scientific rationality.

Advice

The OneOdio Pro10 is a niche product for beginners who want the form and function of DJ headphones on an extremely tight budget. With features like rotating earcups, it serves the purpose for DJ practice sessions. However, its sound quality is entirely unsuitable for monitoring purposes, featuring an emphasized bass and treble that prevents its use for music production or accurate mixing decisions. If sound quality is even a minor consideration, we strongly recommend allocating a larger budget for products from more reputable brands.
