OneOdio OpenRock Pro review 2024: the kind of big sound

The OpenRock Pro joins a small group of truly wireless earbuds that embrace an open-style design. This group includes the Cleer Arc, which we tested (and didn’t absolutely love), as well as the Bose Sport Open, which remain on sale in the United States only.

The OpenRock Pro is primarily marketed toward people who are interested in fitness, but it is possible to use them outside of the context of a workout. Therefore, this presents a chance for OneOdio to develop its more cost alternative that is easier to buy further afield into a standout option that can offer great sound, significant battery life, and the ability to keep you in tune with the world around you.

OneOdio OpenRock Pro Specifications

OneOdio OpenRock Pro: Design

OneOdio uses a hooked design that comes in either black or white. The hooked part sits over and around the top of the ear, and the speakers that make the open-ear sound are placed just in front of the ear. So it doesn’t completely free up the ear, but it does cover a small part of it.

Both buds have flat, textured physical buttons below the speaker section. If you press the left side, you can play or stop music, double-tap to change the volume, and hold it down for 1.5 seconds to skip back and forth through music. You can also make calls and talk to your phone’s assistant using these settings. You can buy this OneOdio OpenRock Pro from its official website

Sound Quality

The OpenRock Pro does a good job of giving you that bigger, punchier sound, but I think its presence really depends on the environment and the amount of outside noise it has to fight against to give you the right balance between hearing your music and knowing what’s going on around you.

Even when you’re sitting at a desk inside or going down streets that are mostly quiet, you can feel the bass. In terms of open-ear headphones, it doesn’t quite match the bassier profile of Philips’ TAA6606BK bone conduction headphones. However, compared to a pair of Shokz headphones or other similar headphones that have tried to bring that power, you get well-rounded audio that works well with all types of music and podcasts, with smooth mids and no harshness in the highs.

OneOdio OpenRock Pro: Performance

Something to keep in mind about open-ear headphones in general is that they usually can’t match the sound quality of earbuds that fit right inside your ears and are truly portable. That’s just the way things are. You don’t completely block out the sounds around you, but you don’t let all of them in either.

The OpenRock Pro tries to find a good middle ground between the two. It wants to give you a big, strong sound, but it also wants you to be aware of what might be coming up next to you or behind you. It uses 16.2mm dynamic drivers to make deep, bassy sound and singing that are clear and bright. Since there is no equalizer or partner app, there is only one sound profile.

OneOdio OpenRock Pro: Battery Life

The OpenRock Pro earbuds have 19 hours of battery life on the headphones and another 27 hours in the case. If you only use them for workouts, you can go more than a month without plugging in the case. The headphones also have a quick-charge mode that lets you listen to music for an hour after just five minutes in the case.

This is above average for wireless headphones, and the OpenRock headphones stand out because other open headphones, like the Oladance and Cleer buds, come with cases that don’t charge them.

Price And Availability

In the end, there are enough options for wireless earbuds around the $100 price point that this product is best for people who want an open-ear design.

We liked using the OpenRock Pro, but we never felt like we had to pick them over the Nothing Stick, AirPods 2, or any of the other dozens of headphones that cost around $109.

Final Words

OneOdio’s OpenRock Pro has two noise-canceling microphones, easy-to-use control choices, a sleek and attractive design, and a long battery life. Best of all, they usually fit like a glove and are very comfortable.

We definitely recommend them, and we’re sure you’ll love the high-quality sound and fun features they have to offer. The OneOdio OpenRock Pro is a good purchase if you’ve been waiting for high-quality headphones for your workouts and outdoor activities.
