Headphones don’t have to whisper. Clearly aware of that, the OneOdio Studio Max 1 arrive like a pair of speakers that learned to wear a headband and wave glow sticks: oversized, unapologetic and eager to be heard.
They’re built for people who want presence (in both looks and sound) with metal hinges, plush pads and a flash of red that screams ‘DJ booth’. Sonically they favour warmth and weight: forward mids, satisfying bass and clear highs that don’t grate. The design will also polarise; they might not make it onto our list of the most beautiful headphones in the world. And at around £160 they’re not bargain-basement, but if you want pro-leaning tone without selling a kidney, these are worth a listen. Read our full review to find out why.
