The AlphaTheta HDJ-F9s are on-ear wireless DJ headphones that use SonicLink, so you can DJ wirelessly with no noticeable lag. They also work as everyday Bluetooth headphones, with a cable as a fallback.
In this review I look at the build, the controls, battery life and pairing, and how they sound compared to the over-ear HDJ-F10s. I also cover the HP-TX01 transmitter you'll need for gear without SonicLink, and who these £329 / €379 / $349 headphones are really for.
