   Better than Audio technica athM50x
   Top quality product with excellent colourful sound for home entertainment & very comfortable for long hours of listening.Does a very good job at blocking outside sounds.

   Good sound let down by cheap build quality | SQ improves after burn-in
   The Monitor 40 model does not exist on OneOdio’s own website, but going by the specifications, design, and pricing, I am presuming it has been discontinued and is now replaced by the Monitor 60 model.BULD:Out of the box, the build quality is a put off, as the plastic used feels cheap, but that also makes it lightweight. Also, the oversized pleather earpads while very plush and comfortable, are of a very low density foam, and are liable to tear when removed. Clamping force of the headband is on the lower side, which makes the pads comfortable but causes the headband to create a pressure point on the top of my head.SOUND:Right out of the box, these cans sounded way too bright and V-shaped for my liking, with the treble being sibilant and harsh. The bass sounded bloated and loose, and the midrange sounded recessed, giving it the impression of a mass-market, V-shaped set of cans.However, after about 8-hours of burn-in, the SQ improved considerably, with the treble scaling down to relatively tolerable levels, the bass tightening up somewhat to reveal some sub-bass rumble, resulting in some of the midrange emerging from the veil of the bloated bass.After about 16-hours, I think they have settled down to their designed performance levels with a largely balanced sound signature – although the bass is still a bit hollow, and the treble still has some strident, sibilant peaks.CABLES:The 3.5mm-3.5mm cable with in-line mic degrades the sound quality, so to get the optimal SQ, one must use the 3.5mm-6.3mm cable from a single-ended 3.5mm output. Cable quality is just about passable.PAIRINGS:Bright/Neutral sources are to be avoided, as it just exaggerates the lurking sibilance in the treble region. This did not sound good with neutral/analytical DAC/Amps like the Earmen Eagle, FiiO KA3, or the Hidizs S9 Pro, and it was only with a relatively warmer DAC/Amp like the Shanling UA2/UA3 that the peaky treble got under some semblance of control.NOTE:Standard 100mm replacement pads will not fit these, and I was not able to get a Brainwavz 100mm round pad mounted on this without risking tearing them. These need larger pads like the 110mm Brainwavz XL pads.SUMMARY:In many ways, these Monitor 40 headphones reminded me of the Philips SHL3300 – a budget, DJ-style, studio headphone from 2015/15 – an underrated gem from Philips that is still one of my favorite headphones in the sub-5K category – although it was launched way before Philips began making budget audiophile-grade legends like the SHP9500/9600.Although they were marketed as bassy, DJ-style headphones, in reality, they were surprisingly balanced – with tight, articulate bass, clean midrange, and a smooth, highly resolving, sibilance-free treble. And they retailed for only 2,500/- rupees in India, ($50/- in the US) those days.The Monitor 40/60 does come close, but still is not as good at detail-retrieval, or as tight and impactful in the bass region, and is nowhere as well built as the SHL3300. Moreover, they are not as resolving or fatigue-free a listen as the Philips.The relatively cheap build quality, that slightly hollow bass, and that occasionally harsh, sibilant treble are what prevented me from giving these otherwise surprisingly good, budget, DJ-style headphones a 5-star rating.

   got these for djing/mixing music at home because i needed somethint that didnt have all the artificial enhancements my other headset has. First thing I noticed was how crisp and clean the sound is. Second thing I noticed was how I couldnt hear much bads. Third thing I noticed is how much my mixes improved, including the bass due to the clarity of everything. Super comfy and wired so dont need to worry about batteries or software. Folding features are a bit finicky and you will want to be gently, but thats fine for at home for me.

   Rashad Muse – June 20, 2024

   I’ve had at least 15 pairs of headphones in my life. In ear, over ear, on ear, open back, semi open, etc. I’ve never heard anything better.These 50mm drivers have brightness and clarity like 40’s, but with the bass reproduction and power of a 50 mm set.The treble is crisp, accurate, and clear. Even at full send on my iPhone 12, I hear no signs of sibilance. Silky smooth.The mids are….I’ve never heard this much space from a headphone. These are NOT open back. That’s why it’s hard to describe. The separation of spaces and layers in beats is incredible. And this is in RAP. I played “I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner and almost cried. I’ve played these on every genre I can think of. Electronic, rap, hip hop, rock, alternative, indie, VGM, EDM…just try them.The bass reproduction is pretty accurate with a tinge of boominess. Any bass lines that aren’t sub range will smack you in the head. And the subs are soooo articulate and you can really feel them. Full send is gonna make you feel like you’re in the middle of a party. Play “P Power” by Gunna.If I had a minor gripe, it’d be with how much they swivel. They’re big and comfortable. Super lightweight.I haven’t felt music until I put these on. These are addictive as hell to listen to. The best part? I only have like 6 hrs of burn on them. They’re only going to sound BETTER. Other companies should be embarrassed. S+ headphone.

   Is the flute – June 20, 2024

   Me parecen super cómodos y sin duda cumplen con lo que se anuncia, la escena sonora es impresionante, y aun mas por el precio, además vienen con 3 cables y uno de estos con micrófono, he comprado auriculares mucho mas caros y solo vienen con un cable, los compré reacondicionados, estado impoluto, no os dejéis engañar por las marcas o los precios, los chinos estan dando la calidad y sin alardes

   Da kann man nicht mehr schreiben. Tolle Qualität in Klang und Tragekomfort.Kleiner Negativpunkt, sind etwas schwer anzulegen, da die Ohrhörer sich gerne weg drehen und man sich die Finger klemmen kann. Dafür ist das Kabel und die beiden Buchsen als Eingang eine super Idee, so dass man immer mit 3,5 oder 6,5mm Klinke die Kopfhörer nutzen kann.

   Premetto che on sono un audiofilo, necessitavo di un paio di cuffie buone per sostituire le mie vecchie sennheiser. Imbottitura molto comoda che copre tutto il padiglione auricolare, buon isolamento e qualità audio molto buona ( almeno per quanto riguarda le mie esigenze e le mie esperienze pregresse ). La sensazione è quella di ritrovarsi tra le mani un prodotto comunque di buona fattura ad un prezzo inferiore rispetto alle solite marche note. In dotazione ci sono tre cavi utilissimi come descritto nella scheda prodotto.Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, vedremo se dureranno, la qualità dell’imbottitura sembra comunque migliore e più durevole delle mie precedenti sennheiser,pagate lo stesso tanto diversi anni fa, e ora completamente inutilizzabili per via del completo disgregamento dell’imbottitura.
