Never thought I'd be sitting for hours watching videos on headphones... I'm a guitarist and finally pulled the trigger on ordering some pro30s. You have such a positive energy and you're genuine and likeable guy, keep up the good work!
Sorry for the late reply, but they are honestly amazing. My cousin who is an audiophile compared him too his $200 headphones and was pissed that they sounded just as good haha
overall good vid for the average joe. They definitely dont need to be spending 150 to 200 bucks for stuff meant for studio monitoring work when musical enjoyment is their main purpose. AKG m220 for 70 dollars will smash the m40s and m50s for clarity and soundstage is a much better option for average joes that enjoy that sound signature. Same lack of bass issue though. Phillips shp9500 are a good alternative as well. Both much better for music than the audiotechnicas and much cheaper.
I have a pair of the one audio (wired) heard you said something about making them "tighter" with tape and rubber bands. Went back and searched channel sad to say I didnt see any vids about it. Would love to see how you did it. Good vids man!
@@sagarkumbalkar83196 it's clean bass, very different from other bass boosted headphones. It has a stronger punch. The bass never feels boomy, but it vibrates, and it's fun
Just discovered your channel because of your OneAudio stuff. Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me make a decision about these headphones.
Clearity without BASS is pure SHIT! ONEODIO's/OneAudio is perfect for the best music era ever.... the almighty 1980's! real Oldskool Hip-Hop/Freestyle/80's pop/80's Disco/High Energy/New Wave/Hair Metal Rock/Classic Rock/etc..... The Best!!!
the m50s actually need an amp. That 32 ohm rating does not tell the whole story. The drivers are hungry for power and your phone or laptop sound card wont be anywhere close to enough. As in just because it gets loud doesnt mean its properly driven. The bass power, articulation and detail are completely different with a proper amp with lots of power even at lower volume levels and at moderate to high, it makes everything a lot cleaner and detailed. At extreme levels, you'll get head rattling bass out of any headphones even the m50s Plus several years of tinitus. I'd recommend a schiit magni for your future tests haha. Also brainwavz hm5 pads for the m50s and m40s for better soundstage and comfort. The m40s are actually pretty junky without the pad upgrade. But yeah most normal people dont really care about the audio technica sound signature because of the anemic bass. "Audiophiles" will say the m50s have too much bass... Overall they are boring headphones in my opinion. I dont think anyone loving them for music should even be called an audiophile there's way superior options for the money on massdrop.
@@L0nkero depends on your amp/dac combo and how many milliwatts its putting out at 32 ohm. If you are using a cheapo amp with no dac, it will be hardly any better than your phone be it just a tad louder.
@@Jeffdachefz True, but M50X is not simply a headphone that would need any serious amplification, its consumer grade headphone and targeted for casual listeners after all. And dac is not even supposed to do any magical changes to the sound, its most important (and only) job is to convert digital signal to analog, if amplifier is powerful enough dac will affect the sound about as much as the color of the headphone.
If you are planning to buy headphone + dac/amp combo, you clearly don't want to start with M50X anyway. I have to agree that M50X doesn't really improve by much with amplification. I used to have M50X Dark Green Edition. I personally would pick m40x over m50x if i had to pick one of those.
When you said that ATH's can't handle bass i laughed hard, i'm bass head too and i can tell you that m50x can destroy your eardrums with bass if you tweak them that way with EQ, (Huge 'V' shape like that OneOdio), they are hungry for power, so you will need some good amp to get that result. Their sound signature is more to flat by default (slightly elevated bass and highs) but you can always tweak them at your own preference...They can withstand 1600mW power and they have sensitivity around 100db/mW, that mean they can output around 133db SPL which is INSANE! I like you presentation bro, kinda enjoying wathing your reviews. Cheers! :)
Agreed EQ'ing is a great thing to learn & tailor to your ears liking. I was comparing my Sony MDR XB500's to the Pro 50's and had to reduce the mid bass response from the Pro 50's its just to much to the point it hurts the lower end frequencies & overall bass quality, but I got them sounding pretty solid after EQ.
@@jasonroberts8416 I agree, mid bass is little emphasized, but what most people don't understand is that this HP's are not meant for a relaxed long period listening (out of the box), they are made especially for monitoring tracks in studio, and that means that they have pretty accurate/flat sound...so on some bad recorded tracks they will sound harsh, fatique and that's actually a good thing, headphones that sound good to every single track are the ones that are more colored and inaccurate...Hearing people saying how m40x and dt770 are better for studio use, flat response but they are actually way more ''V'' shaped than m50x, makes no sense...i guess that most ppl think that if some headphone sound good to every single song that they are best for studio work, but its actually opposite...good thing about m50x is that they respond really good to EQ due to their powerful drivers with low THD, so you can literally ''copy'' sound signature from any other closed headphones, but if you try to do that for example with dt770 they will start to distort like crazy, really disappointed with them, but on the other hand they are way more comfortable than m50x for a long period listening...
Hey JDL, I like your reviews! Like you, I didn't like the Bluetooth OneAudio headphones and was about to send them back. Just for kicks, I checked my OnePlus phone sound and found an equalizer. Well, when I played around with the equalizer I was blown away by the OneAudio A7. I'm not sure what they did with the original out-of-the-box sound signature but it's pretty bad compared to the Studio version of the OneAudio. So I decided to check my laptop and it also has a good equalizer. When I fine-tune the sound signature, I have to say that I totally love the Bluetooth A7 OneAudio headphones. They rock! :)
@@NewStuffTV1 Lol. I do have a quick question for you: how did you take apart your OneAudio studios to tighten them up? I don't want to run the risk of breaking mine.
Another thing worh mentioning is that you're right, it is unfair to compare bluetooth vs wired.. specially depending of the source, my point is, first there's the fact ytou mentioned that bluetooth comes amplified, true.. but then there is the source, people looking for headphones for a stereo equipment, that's a whole different ballpark.. because there we have a much more sofisticated amplification and equalization.. and usually no bluetooth, so wired will reing supreme.... but if course, that would be serious listeners..I have sony rf wireless for my stereo/computer, and they are sooo comfortable and sound great.. and the 8 years they have been with me says a lot about build quality.. great video! :)
Update - Received headphones (Oneodio Studio Pro) . Used it for 8 hours. Played All types of music and movies. These are exactly what I needed. Bass is just perfect ! Feels slightly amped if you compare with neutral sounding studio headphones . There is no boominess or distortion even at higher volumes. And for very low frequencies you can feel the excellent vibrations just as you would feel in theatre's. High frequencies are also superb..clean cymbal , hi hats . Distinctly hear all instrument's. Cups are very comfy. Kudos to oneodios..
@@MrKin190 Sangat bagus. Sound signature dia flat dengan bass boosted sikit. Betul2 berbaloi. Saya cadangkan beli pro version, yang earcup besar ada stitching merah. Sedap pakai macam pakai awan.
I've been thinking about whether to get the Bluedio T4S, Sennheiser HD 4.40 or BTNC 4.50. This is going to be my first headphones purchase so kinda confused over what's actually good! Not sure if AptX will make any difference. Any advice? Budget probably around $100 XD
Love your work bud, but you wrong. the two oneodio cans are not the same. The wired "hi-fi" pair has a 50mm neodymium driver, the Bluetooth pair has the smaller 40mm driver
Hi, thanks for good review! Would love to see in the next comparison OneAudio A2 Studio Wireless C, OneAudio Fusion with newest OneAudio A9. Kind regards, Ihor
so if this man is comparing the oneodio to the m50x, then the oneodio are far superior to the m20x right? I want headphones mainly to produce and mix rock/metal music, which would you recommend?
I didnt see anything that might offend an audio`phile.. unless i messed it... you were right on the money with the difference between wired and bluetooh.. comfort vs build quality? I rather go for comfort.. specially since in this case it also means better sound... I struggled a little back in january with the bluedio A's because they did pack some puch basswise, but i had to raise ALL the trebble frequencies in my phone EQ.. to be able to balance the sound a bit but they were definitely lacking in that department it was a nice battle, and many listeners make take the money into consideration more that you think, and the OneOdio Dj Pro being under 50$ seem to have a way better value/cost ratio.. so, it is a winner in more than one way kudos!
I tried out the Oneodio A71 which are built like the Audio Technica, but they are so tight that they make my head hurt...I'm going to get these but b4 I buy I wanted to know does the audio-technica have that much clamp pressure?
Nice review. I've had the m40x for quite some time and it's great I don't even need to upgrade for now. I use it less now tho because my phone doesn't have audio jack -_-
This makes me feel better about my purchase of the wired OneOdio headphones, stupid amazon is dragging their feet on getting mine shipped out to me, im getting impatient AF lol. Great video brother!
Can you compare the Oneodio pro 50 to the Audio Technica atm30x it's kind the duble of the price and yet i don't know if it's the double of the performance neither if it's worth the jump for the soundstage or the imaging?
if you're doubting not to buy pro-50 just don't hold back purchased pro-50 and received within 2 weeks from China to Nigeria honest opinion; just f**kn AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! deviating from LG phones with Quad-Dac isn't possible anymore
I say you made a very big mistake here. Any M-Series, doesn't matter if it's 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 70x are all made for studio. It's a studio monitor headphones. Of course it's lack of bass because it being designed to help you to find flaw in the audio track, not for listening and enjoying music. Audio Technica doesn't just have M-Series in their production lines. I hope you can try others that are not meant for studio monitoring.
Good video... I would've enjoyed a bit more music and apparently the M50Xs are the flattest (supposedly, so I've read, at least). Else than that, it was interesting to see a bassheads opinion on these headphones.
Curious as to why you are calling those “Fusion” headphones the “Bluetooth version of the Studio Pro,” even though they are definitely not because OneOdio does make an ACTUAL Bluetooth version of the Studio Pro’s which are EXACTLY the same except for not having the plush ear pads and no 6.3m input on the headphones - but build, cups, are exactly the same, no oval cups. It’s called “Studio Wireless C” on the box and they absolutely do NOT sound like garbage and here is the Amazon link to them: Bluetooth Over Ear Headphones, OneOdio Wireless/Wired 30 Hrs Stereo Bluetooth Headsets w/Built-in Mic, Foldable Headset with Deep Bass, 50mm Neodymium Drivers for PC/Phone(No Extended Mic) www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQKSB6W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i0b7Bb6RWZQJF
Good question. OneOdio (now OneAudio) contacted me a couple of weeks ago and told me they are calling these headphones Fusion and they have a new Kickstarter campaign going for them. I'm thinking the ones you see on Amazon (I saw them months ago as well) are what they used to make and simply want to rebrand them. A big tell sign is that they've also changed their name to OneAudio and it is now embossed on the headband instead of OneOdio. The earcups are also now oval shape instead of circular unlike the ones you see on Amazon.
Big issue man, no service centre in India, I wasted my 3800 rs. " Shit product " was so on budget saw your video and bought this but now it's one side is not working and I really dono where should I complain ! Worst buy...
I'm going to explain why you don't like the m50's as much as the other ones. They are actually the only headphones out of the ones you tested that is suitable as a studio monitor. They have a more accurate soundimage than the rest (yes that means less bass). You said that the m50x's are built for general music listening, this is not the case, both the m40's and m50's are marketed as "Professional monitor headphones" on the official website. However that doesn't stop a lot of people from liking the m50's for general music listening anyway.
I tried out the Oneodio A71 for recording & mixing, which are built like the Audio Technica, but they are so tight that they make my head hurt...I'm going to get these but b4 I buy I wanted to know does the audio-technica have too much clamp pressure also?
DVZN Media You aren't the only one. Check out Z Reviews channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X6wBv03B1nk.html this guy knows alot about headphones. He hates hard on the M50x compared to the M40x
@@Matt-fd9hc id take his words with a grain of salt. I bought a good bit of headphones he reviewed and its really not up to par as he put them out to be. Adjust expectations accordingly.
also note that he has very expensive amplifier/dac combo stacks to play with and even tube amps etc... what sounds good to him and what he hears wont be the same on a headphone jack on your phone.
LMAO! Hey man... They had they're warning in the beginning of the video. If they stayed just for the sake of talking shit... They can waste their own time. 🤣🙌
Some wired headphones don’t require an amp at all. That was a false statement you gave. You were getting mixed up between the m40x and the m50x. Both were designed primarily for studio monitoring but the m40x with a little listening in mine (a little more bass). Also people care more about which is best regardless of price than which is the best bang for the buck. So I wished you picked a winner regardless of price AND then told us which was the best bang for the buck. If someone is willing to spend $200 on headphones then we want to know which is best and not which is best bang for the buck. Decent video though.
When you have heard several pairs of "good" headphones, it doesn't take long to tell when you get a bad pair. Not sure how a bad pair of headphones can sound good until you compare them to something better, then they are considered garbage. 😜
late to the party. i’ve never been able to justify the price on name brand studio headphones and IEMS. I got into “chi-fi” equipment cuz I figured I got nothing to lose, it’s all cheap anyway. And i’ve never turned back to name brand audio since. the quality, clarity and response you can get for less than $100 is absurd. dont pay for the name people.
Can i inform you that the link to the studio pro 50 redirects to the studio pro 10, the correct one is this one: Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B01F59T4HU/ref=emc_b_5_t or on Aliexpress: nl.aliexpress.com/item/32705349478.html Please change this, people might buy the wrong product
Noice comparison. How hard you try, oneodio studio Pro always comes on top as they prove best bang for the buck. But could you suggest any low latency Bluetooth headphones under 60-70 bucks from oneodio or mixcder or Edifier which could be close enough to studio Pro wired ones. Thanks in advance
Well i dont really know what bass head run for bass.. I am not audiophile guy but for me m50x bass just have enough bass.. If i cranks the bass more i feel like the song is destroyed..
I sold my M50x's so I can't do an exact comparison,, I'd say the M50x's have a small amount of extra bass and perhaps a small amount of extra treble, perhaps for a fun gaming headphone the M50x's might be better but for music the OneOdio Studio Pro's are better. The M50x's suffer badly from when the music gets busy around the mid range, like when you have loads on instruments coming into a track, they just sound like a muddled mess, the OnnOdios don't suffer from this at all. So if you want the M50x' purely for gaming you might enjoy them more, if you want to game and play music then I'd go for the OneOdio's, they're better for music and cheaper. In fact I have the ATH MSR-7 headphones, they are more detailed but lack the bass of the OneOdios and are uncomfortable, again the OneOdios win, they're my go to headphone now and I've owned and tested quite a few way more expensive headphones.
@@wazuo8354 Thank you very much for answering, but unfortunately I understand very little English and RU-vid won't let me copy your text, would you be so kind as to copy this analysis that you have told me and transfer it to Spanish? the favor is appreciated, anyway thanks for commenting dude, greetings!
@@user-lr6he2ux3c Vendí mis M50x, así que no puedo hacer una comparación exacta, diría que los M50x tienen una pequeña cantidad de graves adicionales y quizás una pequeña cantidad de agudos adicionales, tal vez para un auricular de juego divertido, los M50x podrían ser mejores, pero para La música de OneOdio Studio Pro es mejor. Los M50x sufren mucho cuando la música se llena en el rango medio, como cuando tienes muchos instrumentos entrando en una pista, simplemente suenan como un lío confuso, los OnnOdios no sufren esto en absoluto. Entonces, si quieres el M50x 'solo para juegos, puedes disfrutarlos más, si quieres jugar y reproducir música, entonces elegiría el OneOdio's, son mejores para la música y más baratos. De hecho, tengo los auriculares ATH MSR-7, son más detallados pero carecen del bajo de los OneOdios y son incómodos, de nuevo, los OneOdios ganan, ahora son mis auriculares y he tenido y probado muchas maneras Auriculares más caros.
Well, note that my use is going to be exclusively for listening to music (smartphone and pc), so even the oneodio studio pro is even above the m50x for that purpose, so the price difference is not reflected in the sound quality. friend, very good reflection I will trust your analysis and I will order the oneodio pro black. Thank you very much for your analysis, it has been very interesting. thanks and greetings!
For casual music listening, will Oneodio serve its purpose? Been looking around for nice headphones and came down to Bluedio T4s and the Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC. Only came upon this video today. Any suggestions?
4.40BT are my second daily driver for bluetooth with my primary being the XB650BT, I generally go the XB650 because I like the bright colours but they both sound good, I also own the 4.50 which i believe you lose a lot of bass in to be honest
M50x requires a very good amp+dac to drive in full power despite what the impedance might indicate. With Fiio A3 and Elna audio integrated DAC.. these will sound day and night better than any of the sources you mentioned above
No they dont. I mean yea you can use both but the impedance is low. Ive had these hooked up to a solid interface and i could barely hear the difference. This isn't the 770s which the 80Ohmz YOU NEED a dac + AMP or a amp. 32-38 Ohms gets plenty of loud. With the ATH - M50x i have the volume at 65 and its loud enough and im sure a amp would go much louder but you got to have a really meh source to need one. VERY meh.
M50x does not require anything A guy named oluv tested these on phone and amp sound quality was all the same Amp only had louder sound and they will damage your ears
@@Smzxe I have the M50x as well and 100% you don’t need a amp that’s for sure and they get plenty of loud. My volume on the computer is at 68 using realtek as my sound driver
@@DETERMINOLOGY yeah that's what I said A mobile is enough to power M50x and they will get loud enough to being listenable But with amp the sound is gonna be so loud and can damage your ears The reviewers think loud sound=better sound quality 😂
@@Smzxe Its not about getting loud. Its about getting the whole spectrum of sound. Those 45MM drivers are huge. While it may get loud.. its wo resonate without a proper power source.
