The Focus A1 Pro headphones are the latest audio product from OneOdio. I’ve recently reviewed their top-end Studio Max 1 Wireless headphones, and I was blown away. Therefore, I wasn’t going to say no when they offered another pair of headphones to look at. Unlike its bigger brother, the Focus A1 Pro headphones are designed as an entry-level option. However, don’t let this put you off. It is only the price point that gives this away. Every other aspect of these headphones is upmarket and impressive.
If you want wireless audio, ANC functionality, an impressive battery, comfortable earcups, and a stylish finish, this is the product for you. On top of this, they are easy to use, and they offer incredibly clear audio quality. The 40mm drivers are powerful, and the bass and tonal range are fantastic. Consequently, these offer the performance of high-end audio peripherals at a fraction of the cost.

Technical aspects.
The Focus A1 Pro headphones offer an impressive up to 70 hours of battery power. This reduces to 40 hours if you use the ANC feature, but either way, you’ll enjoy over 1 day of full usage before you have to plug the headset in. This battery power was impressive when you consider that they are available for under £50. When compared to other entry-level headphones, these are a standout performer.
If you run low on juice, you do not need to worry. Thankfully, the quick charging facility keeps you in the game for longer. If you are in a rush, you can boost your battery in 10 minutes to increase your listening time by around 5 hours.
Bluetooth 6.0 delivers seamless connectivity and a stable connection to any compatible device. I had no issues connecting this product to my laptop, mobile phone, or tablet. Furthermore, it was easy to flit between devices without having to play around with the settings. The 15m range was impressive, and I had no issues using this feature despite living in a granite cottage. Unlike other headphones, this didn’t falter even when you pushed it to the limit of its connectivity range.
I rarely use my headphones for calls, but during testing, I was impressed by the ANC mic functionality. This algorithm removes unwanted ambient sounds to deliver crisp microphone pickup. This is ideal if you have to take a business call when you visit a cafe, or you’re walking your dog.
Audio quality.
Audio quality is where headphones should rise and fall. If the sound quality is woeful, the headphones will fail to impress. However, decent drivers, an impressive tonal range, and balanced bass are a must for the best audio experience. Thankfully, the Focus A1 Pro headphones offer a hearty range of tones without distortion or an unwanted tinny mess. Moreover, the bass line is nicely balanced for a comfortable soundscape, no matter the genre.
Each tonal element can be picked out, and I liked the warm mids, clean highs, and deep lows. Furthermore, the bass complements every aspect without blowing your eardrums or brain. I spent much of my time with the volume at 50 to 55%. This was the optimum choice for battery and clarity. However, when I cranked the volume up, the bass never cracked, and there were no shrill notes or distortion.
Build quality.
200 grams of weight is impressively light for a pair of headphones. This makes the Focus A1 Pro headphones extremely comfortable to wear during lengthy gaming, music, or movie sessions. Alongside this, the comfortable material doesn’t overheat your ears or generate pressure on your temples or your skull. The lay-flat design is ideal if you prefer to keep your headphones around your neck without creating a bulky appearance. Moreover, the slightly smaller earcups are perfect if you don’t want obscenely large earcups that make a bold statement.
The combination of soft protein cushions and hardened plastic was impressive. The yokes are strong, and the hinged points are durable, resisting roughhousing and the occasional accident. The cushions cover your ears nicely, and they work well with the ANC functionality for a clearer audio experience. However, if you want to hear your surroundings, select the ambience awareness mode to stay alert to the outside world.
Are the Focus A1 Pro headphones worth it?
I was surprised by the Focus A1 Pro headphones! They offer some high-end tech options without breaking the bank. Whether it is exceptional audio, impressively clear microphone pickup, or amazing build quality, they deliver on every front. Accordingly, I think they are great, and I recommend buying them here!
