How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a complete wired headphone-and-microphone setup for gaming, calls and streaming, choose OneOdio A71; if you need a coiled replacement cable for a pair of Pioneer DJ headphones you already own, choose Lusgawer 4.
• OneOdio A71 — biggest strength: it's a full audio kit in one box — over-ear headphones with 50mm dynamic drivers plus a detachable noise-canceling boom mic, so you can talk and listen without buying anything else.
• OneOdio A71 — biggest trade-off: it's wired only, and the mic and cable are the whole point, so if you want wireless freedom this isn't it.
• Lusgawer 4 — biggest strength: a purpose-built coiled DJ cable with a 2.5mm headphone-side plug, a twist-lock 6.35mm adapter and a right-angle 3.5mm end — exactly the connector stack DJ headphones need.
• Lusgawer 4 — biggest trade-off: it's a cable, not headphones. It does nothing for you unless you already own compatible Pioneer HDJ-series cans.
• Who each pick is for: OneOdio A71 for someone who needs headphones and a mic today; Lusgawer 4 for a DJ or audio pro replacing a worn cable on gear they already have.
The OneOdio A71 is a bundle, and that's the whole story. You get a pair of over-ear (circumaural) headphones built around 50mm dynamic drivers covering a 20Hz–20,000Hz range, plus a detachable boom microphone with noise-canceling voice pickup. The idea is that one purchase covers both halves of a conversation: you hear the game, the call or the track, and the other side hears you clearly. For a lot of people that's the annoying part of buying audio gear — headphones are everywhere, but a headset with a decent mic usually means a separate purchase or a compromise.
What it does best is versatility through connection. The A71 runs on 3.5mm wired audio and ships with dual AUX cables, so it plugs into a PC, PS4 or PS5, Mac, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices — with the caveat that Xbox may need an adapter. Because the boom mic detaches, the same headphones can go from a Zoom meeting or a podcast recording to a normal pair of everyday over-ears in a couple of seconds. The memory-protein ear cushions and adjustable headband are aimed at long sessions; the spec sheet frames comfort around extended eight-hour use, which is the right target if you work and play in the same chair.
Who should buy it: gamers on console or PC, remote workers who live on calls, podcasters and streamers who want one wired setup for everything, and anyone who'd rather not juggle separate headphones and a standalone mic. Who should skip it: people who want Bluetooth, people who need active noise cancellation (the A71 has none — the noise-canceling claim applies to the mic, not the headphones), and anyone who already owns a headphone they love and only needs a cable. In my opinion, the detachable-mic design is the smartest thing here — it's what stops this from being a one-trick gaming headset.
The Lusgawer 4 is not a headphone. It's a replacement or spare audio cable, and it's built for a very specific family of headphones: Pioneer DJ models HDJ X7, HDJ X5, HDJ Cue1, HDJ S7 and HDJ Cx. If that list doesn't include your headphones, stop reading — this isn't your product. If it does, the spec sheet is refreshingly honest about what you're getting: a 2.5mm-to-3.5mm 4-pole cable with a 6.35mm auxiliary adapter included, made of pure copper with 24K gold contacts for conductivity and corrosion resistance. That connector combination is the DJ standard, and getting it right is the entire reason a cable like this exists.
The coiled spring design is the feature that matters most in practice. Unstretched it measures about 4ft (1.2m); fully stretched it reaches about 7.8ft (2.4m), and it's described as tangle-free. That range is exactly what a DJ booth demands — short enough that the cable isn't pooling on the deck when you're standing still, long enough to reach when you step back or move around the mixer. The right-angle 3.5mm connector is the other quiet win: it lets you plug into recessed or hard-to-reach jacks where a straight plug physically won't fit. The included twist-lock 6.35mm male adapter covers the larger ports on mixers, speakers and interfaces, so the same cable works across a DJ booth, a studio desk and a home setup.
Who should buy it: DJs and audio professionals replacing a frayed or lost cable, anyone who wants a spare coiled cable in the bag before a gig, and home users running compatible Pioneer HDJ headphones into a 3.5mm or 6.35mm source. Who should skip it: everyone else. It won't add a microphone, it won't add wireless, and it won't work with headphones outside the compatible list. It's a specialist part, and it should be judged as one.
• You need a microphone for calls, gaming chat or streaming → OneOdio A71. The detachable noise-canceling boom mic is the deciding feature; the Lusgawer 4 has no mic at all.
• You already own Pioneer HDJ X7/X5/Cue1/S7/Cx headphones → Lusgawer 4. It's the connector-matched replacement, and nothing about the A71 helps you there.
• You want one purchase that covers listening and talking → OneOdio A71. Headphones plus broadcast-style mic in a single bundle.
• You need a coiled cable that stretches from 4ft to roughly 7.8ft without tangling → Lusgawer 4. That spring range is the point of the design.
• You plug into recessed or awkward jacks → Lusgawer 4. The right-angle 3.5mm connector exists for exactly that.
• You need a 6.35mm connection for a mixer, amp or speaker → Lusgawer 4. The twist-lock 6.35mm adapter is included; the A71 is a 3.5mm wired headphone.
• You want to switch between gaming, Zoom and music with one device → OneOdio A71. Dual AUX cables and cross-platform 3.5mm support make it the hybrid pick.
• You want wireless or active noise cancellation → neither. The A71 is wired with no headphone noise cancellation, and the Lusgawer 4 is a cable.
For most people searching these two names together, I'd buy the OneOdio A71. It's the product that actually does something on its own — headphones, a detachable boom mic, and cross-platform wired connections in one box — whereas the Lusgawer 4 only makes sense if you already own specific Pioneer DJ headphones and just need to replace the cord. In my opinion those are two different shoppers, and the A71 serves the bigger, more common need. The one case where I'd pick the Lusgawer 4 without hesitating: you're a DJ with HDJ-series cans and a dead cable, in which case the coiled spring design, the right-angle plug and the included 6.35mm adapter are precisely what you need. Check the current price on Amazon before you commit, since value here depends entirely on which of those two situations you're in.
They're not really competitors. The OneOdio A71 is a wired over-ear headphone with a detachable boom mic; the Lusgawer 4 is a replacement coiled cable for specific Pioneer DJ headphones. "Better" only makes sense once you know whether you need headphones or a cable.
No. The Lusgawer 4 is built for Pioneer HDJ X7, X5, Cue1, S7 and Cx headphones, with a 2.5mm headphone-side plug. The OneOdio A71 is a 3.5mm wired headphone, so this cable isn't the match for it.
The noise-canceling technology in the spec sheet applies to the detachable boom microphone, which is designed for clean voice pickup. The headphones themselves list noise control as "None," so don't expect active noise cancellation from the earcups.
It depends on what you're missing. If you need headphones and a mic, the A71 bundle saves you from buying two things. If you only need a coiled DJ cable with a 6.35mm adapter, the Lusgawer 4 is the focused, cheaper-to-own answer. Check the current price on Amazon for both and compare against what you already own.
