OneOdio Monitor 40 Wired DJ Headphone

This is what I was looking for,simply what I wanted...50mm driver delivers sound detail as expected...satisfactory product...

Top quality product with excellent colourful sound for home entertainment & very comfortable for long hours of listening.Does a very good job at blocking outside sounds.

The Monitor 40 model does not exist on OneOdio's own website, but going by the specifications, design, and pricing, I am presuming it has been discontinued and is now replaced by the Monitor 60 model.BULD:Out of the box, the build quality is a put off, as the plastic used feels cheap, but that also makes it lightweight. Also, the oversized pleather earpads while very plush and comfortable, are of a very low density foam, and are liable to tear when removed. Clamping force of the headband is on the lower side, which makes the pads comfortable but causes the headband to create a pressure point on the top of my head.SOUND:Right out of the box, these cans sounded way too bright and V-shaped for my liking, with the treble being sibilant and harsh. The bass sounded bloated and loose, and the midrange sounded recessed, giving it the impression of a mass-market, V-shaped set of cans.However, after about 8-hours of burn-in, the SQ improved considerably, with the treble scaling down to relatively tolerable levels, the bass tightening up somewhat to reveal some sub-bass rumble, resulting in some of the midrange emerging from the veil of the bloated bass.After about 16-hours, I think they have settled down to their designed performance levels with a largely balanced sound signature - although the bass is still a bit hollow, and the treble still has some strident, sibilant peaks.CABLES:The 3.5mm-3.5mm cable with in-line mic degrades the sound quality, so to get the optimal SQ, one must use the 3.5mm-6.3mm cable from a single-ended 3.5mm output. Cable quality is just about passable.PAIRINGS:Bright/Neutral sources are to be avoided, as it just exaggerates the lurking sibilance in the treble region. This did not sound good with neutral/analytical DAC/Amps like the Earmen Eagle, FiiO KA3, or the Hidizs S9 Pro, and it was only with a relatively warmer DAC/Amp like the Shanling UA2/UA3 that the peaky treble got under some semblance of control.NOTE:Standard 100mm replacement pads will not fit these, and I was not able to get a Brainwavz 100mm round pad mounted on this without risking tearing them. These need larger pads like the 110mm Brainwavz XL pads.SUMMARY:In many ways, these Monitor 40 headphones reminded me of the Philips SHL3300 - a budget, DJ-style, studio headphone from 2015/15 - an underrated gem from Philips that is still one of my favorite headphones in the sub-5K category - although it was launched way before Philips began making budget audiophile-grade legends like the SHP9500/9600.Although they were marketed as bassy, DJ-style headphones, in reality, they were surprisingly balanced - with tight, articulate bass, clean midrange, and a smooth, highly resolving, sibilance-free treble. And they retailed for only 2,500/- rupees in India, ($50/- in the US) those days.The Monitor 40/60 does come close, but still is not as good at detail-retrieval, or as tight and impactful in the bass region, and is nowhere as well built as the SHL3300. Moreover, they are not as resolving or fatigue-free a listen as the Philips.The relatively cheap build quality, that slightly hollow bass, and that occasionally harsh, sibilant treble are what prevented me from giving these otherwise surprisingly good, budget, DJ-style headphones a 5-star rating.
