When we took a look at the Otto V35-1000 OT-5 Over the Ear Active Noise Reduction Headphones, we immediately noticed one thing: their copy. Whoever is workin’ it for Otto is pretty clever. Their slogan is “Because you don’t hear with your eyes” and they say that “The OT5 delivers sound so big, full and accurate that it would bring tears to your ears if your ears had tear ducts”. That’s the sort of thing we usually have to come up with, so we understand how much work it takes. Well done, Otto.

But this doesn’t mean we’ll just give them a free pass. Like all our headphones, we have to put the Otto V35-1000 OT-5 Over the Ear Active Noise Reduction Headphones to a serious test. So we’ve gone out to a local park and asked Kevin, one of the warehouse guys, to help us out. He’s over there, fifty feet away.

Hey

Now, Kevin, we’re going to play a song through these headphones. We need you to tell us how it sounds.

I’m fifty feet away, I can’t really-

Great, thanks. Kevin, it’s playing now, does it sound big, full and accurate?

Sure, yeah. It’s like I’m only forty-nine and a half feet away. It’s amazing. Wow.

Great! Well, there’s the first claim, all checked out. The Otto V35-1000 OT-5 Over the Ear Active Noise Reduction Headphones sound pretty good. Now I’m going to turn on the noise canceling. Kevin? Do you hear less noise?

I can’t hear any sort of difference at all out here.

Well, there we are. We’ve scientifically proven that the Otto V35-1000 OT-5 Over the Ear Active Noise Reduction Headphones are a pretty good pair of headphones with lousy noise cancelation.

They’ve got an airline adapter too, remember.

They do have an airline adapter, so they’d be great for a plane trip. And the padding on the headband and ear covers is pretty nice. Thanks, Kevin.

No problem. Can I get a ride back to the warehouse?

If you’re looking for decent low-cost headphones with good copy, you’ll be happy with these Otto V35-1000 OT-5 Over the Ear Active Noise Reduction Headphones.

Hey, I think I see lightning! Are we done? Can I come back?

But if you’re after high end noise canceling, well, keep in mind that today the only thing outstanding in the field… is Kevin.

And you said we could stop for burgers on the way home! We’re still gonna do that, right? Hey, right?
