Key Features & Technologies
-
High-Fidelity Open-Back Design
The core of the Monitor 80 is its open-back architecture. This design allows air to pass through the earcups to the speaker element, preventing pressure build-up and allowing the diaphragm to move freely. The result is a wider, more natural soundstage that mimics listening to speakers in a room, providing exceptional clarity and instrument separation.
-
High-Impedance Drivers for Precision
Equipped with advanced 40mm polymer composite diaphragm drivers, the Monitor 80 boasts a high impedance of 250 Ohms. This high impedance allows for greater control over the driver, resulting in lower distortion and a more stable, powerful, and detailed sound. For optimal performance, using these headphones with a dedicated headphone amplifier is highly recommended.
-
Superior Comfort and Build
Designed for long studio sessions, the Monitor 80 features plush, soft-to-the-touch velvet ear pads that provide excellent ventilation and comfort. The adjustable headband and lightweight construction, weighing just around 298 grams, ensure a pressure-free fit for hours of use. The durable build incorporates metal in the headband for long-lasting reliability.
-
Adapter-Free Dual Connectivity
Staying true to OneOdio's versatile design, the headphones feature dual input jacks. A 6.35mm jack is located on the right earcup and a 3.5mm jack on the left. This allows you to use the included detachable cables without ever needing an adapter, providing seamless connection to a wide range of audio equipment.

Compatibility and Amplification
Due to the 250-Ohm high impedance, the Monitor 80 headphones are designed to be paired with high-output audio devices. To unlock their full potential and achieve the best sound quality, a dedicated headphone amplifier, audio interface, or professional mixing console is strongly recommended. They are universally compatible with any device featuring a 3.5mm or 6.35mm output, but their performance scales significantly with the power of the source.
