Orange Amplification Launches 'O' Edition MKII ANC Headphones
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Orange O Edition MKII

  • Warm and punchy audio performance powered by 40mm drivers
  • Impressive battery life of up to 50 hours with a quick-charge feature (15 mins for 4 hours)
  • Comfortable fit for long sessions thanks to soft over-ear cushions and a lightweight, foldable design
  • Enhanced customization through the Orange Amps app, including a 10-band EQ and three ANC levels
  • Modern connectivity features including Bluetooth 5.2 and responsive touch controls on the earcup

What customers don't like about Orange O Edition MKII

  • Visual design is considered more 'muted' and lacks the vintage character of the original model
  • Audio signature may be too bass-heavy or 'colored' for those seeking a neutral or analytical sound
  • Active Noise Cancellation performance is sometimes noted as less effective than premium rivals in the same price bracket
  • Codec support is limited to basic standards like SBC and AAC, missing high-fidelity options like aptX
  • Low-mid frequencies can occasionally sound 'muddy' or lack fine detail compared to studio-grade monitors

Verdict

The Orange O Edition MKII is a premium wireless over-ear headphone featuring second-generation 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a warm, immersive sound with a frequency range of 20Hz–20kHz and 32-ohm impedance. Key characteristics include Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, a 3-preset active noise cancellation (ANC) system with an ambient mode, and an impressive battery life of up to 50 hours, supported by USB-C fast charging that provides 7 hours of playback from a 15-minute charge. Its main pros are the customizable 10-band EQ via the Orange Amps companion app, intuitive right-earcup touchpad controls, and a foldable design with memory foam cushions for long-term comfort. Some reported cons include a slightly muted aesthetic compared to the original version's vintage character and a sound signature that may feel too bass-heavy for listeners seeking a strictly neutral or balanced response.
