Tested: OneOdio Fusion A70 Gen 2 Headphones

What is it?

A versatile pair of over-ear headphones offering a combination of wireless convenience and traditional wired connectivity.

Good points?

With 40mm drivers and LDAC codec the headphones are designed to deliver a detailed and engaging sound for everyday listening or professional high-resolution audio.

The companion app gives additional control with customisable EQ and tone presentation to better suit your personal preferences or different types of music.

You can use Bluetooth for convenience or connect using a cable (3.5mm and 6.35mm stereo connections) when you want a direct audio connection. The 3.5mm and 6.35mm connections also make the headphones suitable for everything from phones and laptops to amplifiers and professional audio equipment.

The bass sound feels deep but oddly sharp which prevents it leaching into the middle which allows vocals to be heard cleanly.

Bluetooth 6.0 provides modern wireless connectivity while dual pairing allows two devices to remain connected simultaneously.

The 650mAh battery provides up to 72 hours of wireless playback from a full charge which is impressive given how small and portable they are.

90-degree swivelling earcups and handy carry pouch enable the headphones to be packed away easily for travel or single-ear listening.

Bad points?

The 3m coiled cable is useful for DJ and studio applications but could feel unnecessarily long and cumbersome when simply listening at home or on the move.

Best for ...

Music enthusiasts who want flexibility in connectivity between wired and wireless listening or those who prefer a foldable design for portability.

Avoid if ...

You want an ultra-minimalist pair of wireless headphones with no professional audio features or apps to learn.

Score: 8/10
