Optics, feel and wearing comfort
The body of the OneOdio Monitor 80 is made of plain black ABS (matte, not piano lacquer) with some light metal accents (chrome ring on the shells, cover on the joints, etc.). There’s nothing more to write about it, and it’s not a disaster visually, either, as they deliberately lean on the look of various studio headphones in the lower price ranges here. So the OneOdio Monitor 80 won’t stand out, either positively or negatively. Haptically, this is of course not so nice, but well, the price also sets very hard limits, unfortunately.
I already wrote the necessary details about the connections and the cable variety on the previous page, so there are no surprises. And those who still have a 6.3 mm jack adapter can also connect the normal round cable either on the left or right, which definitely increases the luxury. The fit is good, especially since the headband is a true three-axis solution. Adjustable are the length (the strap locks well), the horizontal rotation to the head axis, as well as the vertical tilt angle. This pleases and is really easy to fit, even with a hat size 64.
The OneOdio Monitor 80 fits like a glove with a little preparatory work, which is also noticeable later in the sound image. I put the headphones on the test setup several times and got approximately the same measurement results each time. The optimal setting is therefore not an issue with the OneOdio Monitor 80. And once the part fits, even a proper headbang can’t make the headphones fly off into orbit. It continues to fit like a glove.
The headband is well and thickly padded inside and out, though the faux PU leather tends to encourage sweating. The gap dimensions of the half-shells at the pickups of the hinge and the seams on the headband are ok overall, but not exactly top class. But it’s a real uHu headphone (under a hundred), you can’t hide that either.
You have to like the velour pads on the ear cups (I’ll get back to that in a moment), but they are easily removable and thus certainly replaceable with other spares. The keyword is modding, even if it is often not quite as critical acoustically with open receivers as with completely closed systems. Whether there will be separate spare parts for the OneOdio Monitor 80 in the future remains a secret of the manufacturer. But in the teardown, I do come back to the dimensions of the pads.
Otherwise, there is nothing exciting to report and we can move on to the slaughter with relish. Please scroll further for this!
