CONCLUSION

   There are three things I’ve always liked about thinksound first that you're not paying extra for a "brand name" like you would with many other brands out there something which i think we are all well aware of and don't like much. Second you're getting a great price/performance balance/ratio (at least with most of their products)) and that i think is the most important aspect when out in the market to buy anything. Last but certainly not least thinksound doesn’t expect large distributors to throw sales since they do several excellent discount offers every year through their online store so you might be able to get one of their products for a greatly reduced price. Now when it comes to the On2 if we leave out the exterior design differences it doesn’t sound all that different to the On1. You will obviously notice that the On2 is focused a bit more in lows and bass (audio is warmer and deeper) compared to the On1 which was focused in mids and highs but that’s actually not a bad thing since the On2 do sound better overall. I think that it’s not a big enough difference to warrant selling your On1 for the On2 (if you happen to have the first) but if I was listening to both and could pick one the On2 would be it. Build quality is also very similar (as is noise isolation) but thanks to the wood used in the On2 and the new headband again the On2 are in front (although that could be just us).

   Currently you can find the On2 Supra-aural studio monitor headphones with passive noise isolation by thinksound for USD199.99 directly from their online store a price which at least to us feels very balanced for what you’re getting (if you don’t want to spend as much then you can always wait for a discount period). Of course there are numerous other choices at around the same price point but not many can rival the On2 (at least not at that price range). Overall the On2 offer exactly what the very good On1 and then some and for that they also get our Platinum Award.
