So Many Lies! Oladance OWS Pro

The Oladance OWS Pro over the ear headphones are like earbuds only nothing goes in your ear, making them perfect for anyone that doesn't like the sensation of earbuds, but why is everyone lying about them?

This video is sponsored by Oladance, all opinions are my own.

These are probably the best over ear headphones / open earbuds of 2023, they sound great, look amazing and even have a type of noise cancellation built in! With a battery life of 16 hours, and in-case life of 58 hours total playback these are unbeatable.

***UPDATE*** Oladance have addressed the issue of the earphones falling off my ears as follows... "individual ear shapes vary significantly, it's difficult to offer a "one-size-fits-all" solution. However, we highly value feedback from every user. We will improve the issue of headphones falling out and enhance stability in the near future"

You are great. Thank you for existing. Please don’t get hit by a bus. That would make us sad.

[musicformysanity]

I just got a set of these for Christmas from my wife. I was super apprehensive about them. I do a lot of mixing and mastering and am super picky about sound quality.
I did some minor adjusting with the EQ and was honestly blown away. I can listen analytically with these, there is even a damn soundstage! Just insane.
You nailed it with the confidence in the fitment. They don't feel terribly secure, but I have yet to have them fall off. I even forget that they are there, which is a little concerning too!
Super comfy, surprising audio quality, and ridiculous battery. I am so happy my wife got these instead of the SHOKZ open airs.

Cheers Paul, as someone who is a retired audio engineer, I respect and value the opinions of someone such as yourself who actually understands that in order to provide a meaningful review of a product like this the stuff that actually matters isn't the blurb that the marketing team came up with....

[laserlotus]

This is definitely one of the most entertaining reviews, and you even have bloopers? stay you, dude, you're great.

[IthoughtIsmelledcabbage]

My first pair I straight up fell asleep with them forgot they were on. After awhile taking calls and just jamming music it literally feels like you’re doing it all via telepathy cause you really don’t feel them. Will continue to support!

[Soniboy]

I bought my first one years ago when they were in kickstarter stage. It was £60!
Still rocking those, with similarly amazing battery life and comfort. They don't have ANC and the sound quality is a little "meh", but it's excellent for studying or youtube.

[Jawlf]

Great video and it is amazing to see they have listened to you and will offer a fix/improvement for the stability.

[Oilcruzer]

Nice. I bought the first gen on KS. No multipoint. Wear all day as your phone buds for a few days started to irritate the top of the outside of the ear (in the valley between your ear and head). Other than that they are amazing. Now it looks like with this gen, they eliminated those challenges. Luv the squeeze update.

[sandrac.medina]

Thanks for your review; in my case, as a woman with small ears, they fall when running or lying on my back for exercise, that is really the downside of it. The rest, I love how comfortable they are and the amazing sound!

[glanoe]

£188 isn't too bad for a good set, my bone conductors weren't far off that and there brilliant. Can you use these one at a time though? if i'm using ear buds i tend to just use one at a time and leave the other on charge.

[ALaModePi]

I'm also someone who just doesn't like the feel of earbuds, so these are quite intriguing.
Unfortunately, I also have a wife who tends to lose earbuds, so falling off the ears is a clear no-go. (Hopefully, Oladance will find some solution to the falling off problem. The earbud "solution" seems to be, "Have several sizes of cheese so at least one of them will get stuck in your ear.")
Feature-wise, the battery life is a major plus and the focus mode sounds useful. The simultaneous BlueTooth is a really cool feature.
I'm inclined to agree that comfort trumps perfect sound quality as long as said quality is not complete rubbish.
I'd also agree that the price is a bit of a stand-off.
Thanks once again for a great review. (And especially thanks for covering the things a lot of other reviewers just skipped over.)

[timredd]

The Soundcore Liberty 4 NC is top on my usage list ATM. You reviewed them previously, Paul, and I agree they are very good.

[leemoore]

Question: If you only wear 1 and leave one in the charge case, do they know and put both channels to the bud being used?

[GMTron]

I have similar issue with earbuds, and I have almost all flagships of the last two years. Depending on the phone, I almost always use the Buds Live and Airpods 3/2pro over anything from Bose/Sony/Technics, not because of the sound quality, but the comfort.

[jamesnokes]

Paul, you are my regular Saturday morning TV, keep up the awesome work!

[scottjohnston]

I have the ear fatigue thing too. After about 30 minutes of buds in my ears, I feel the need to itch them and also the buds feel like they are sliding out all of the time regardless of what size of silicone tip I have installed. After about an hour I want to give up. Because of this, I rarely use ear buds and opt for nothing or I put on my big cans which sound great, are comfortable but also are not great when laying down or moving around a lot. I have not yet found the best solution but I also cannot afford to keep on experimenting either.

[BearyWishes]

I bot these and they are amazing. My only concern is I don’t have big ears so they feel like they might fall off. I’ve done my hair in the morning and so far, they haven’t fallen out so that’s a good thing. Love love love the volume controls and love the multipoint features….the BEST. Still haven’t figured out why Focus Mode toggles on and off all the time. It’s not an amazing feature but it’s there to minimize some noise as long as the feature stays on. I do wish they were a tad smaller in size but sleeping with them on works very well, no issues.

[ComicBookMalc]

O.M.G i never put the whole thrawn / musk thing. And now i cant unsee it

[carinafink]

Honestly the main selling point for these in this specific review is you mentioning to have "tiny baby ears" xD I was searching for a review just like that! Most reviewers have far bigger ears than I have, and the Oladance seem to be the best by far, but also pretty huge xD So thank you a lot for this review!! Now I know which ones I'm going to buy :)
