Summary of the review

Third-party reviews

What customers like about OneOdio Supereq S8

  • Excellent value for money and price-to-quality ratio
  • Effective Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for reducing background noise during commutes
  • Surprising sound quality both via Bluetooth and wired connections
  • Includes a transparency mode to hear surroundings without removing headphones
  • Compact, foldable design suitable for travel, complete with an included travel bag
  • Physical control panel on the device for easy volume and playback management
  • Comfortable initial fit with soft, plushy cushions

What customers don't like about OneOdio Supereq S8

  • Relatively short battery life of 18 hours compared to newer budget competitors
  • Comfort issues during long sessions, with some users reporting ear pain after one hour of use
  • Lacks advanced high-definition audio codecs like aptX or LDAC
  • Longer charging time of approximately 2.5 hours for a full charge
  • Entirely plastic build quality that may lack the durability of premium brands

Verdict

The OneOdio SuperEQ S8 is an on-ear wireless headset featuring 40mm neodymium drivers that deliver a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz with a sensitivity of 98dB. Key characteristics include active noise cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient noise by up to 25dB, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, and a foldable design for portability. Its main pros are a versatile 18-hour battery life (up to 40 hours in ANC-only mode), a lightweight 5.3-ounce build with protein leather earpads, and the inclusion of a 3.5mm jack for wired use. However, notable cons include a relatively modest ANC depth compared to higher-end models and the lack of a dedicated noise-canceling microphone for calls.
