OneOdio A10 Focus Review: A Budget ANC Headphone with Room for Improvement
The OneOdio A10 Focus offers a sleek and modern design that holds its own against more expensive models, here’s a quick review. The aesthetics are good and suggest a product more expensive than its $79.99 price tag suggests. The build quality, although expected from its price point, is decent but I wasn’t wowed by the sound clarity.
Don’t get this confused with the older A10 model, the A10 Focus is an updated version and the one you want to get.

Final Verdict
The OneOdio A10 Focus finds its strengths in its design and battery life but struggles with audio quality. At its price, some compromises are expected, but potential buyers need to think if they want audio quality or features
Pros
- Modern design
- Connects to two devices simultaneously
- Great battery life
- ANC works
- Nice to have a Jack connector option
- USB-C charge port
Cons
- Passive noise isolation needs improvement
- Too bassy
- No equalizer app and basic instructions
Comfort
The ear cups are nicely padded, less so the headband but it was alright. The headband has joints that give a good fit to a wide range of head shapes and sizes.
Sound Quality
The sound profile is unbalanced and seems to struggle particularly with the bass. It gives a decent level of separation, allowing you to easily distinguish individual instruments but overall it lacks clarity in the finer audio details…at these low prices, that’s probably OK.
Features
ANC at this price point is a good selling point but I would describe it in use as acceptable, outside the headphones, like many others, suffer from wind noise. The microphone isn’t great either.
Bluetooth 5.2 is the newest and probably explains the battery life improvements over the earlier version. Turn off the ANC and the Bluetooth battery life goes from 40 to 50 hours!
