The HDJ-F10 from AlphaTheta, formerly Pioneer DJ, is an exciting new development in professional DJ headphones. Thanks to SonicLink technology, these wireless over-ear headphones boast impressively low latency, which is particularly beneficial for DJs on stage – and essential for mixing! After all, freedom from cables without sacrificing sound quality is something many musicians and performers have been waiting for.
HDJ-F10: wireless, clear and powerful – the perfect DJ headphones?
The new AlphaTheta HDJ-F10 wireless headphones also deliver impressive sound. The newly developed 40mm drivers deliver clear and powerful audio across a wide frequency range. The housing design combines a bass-reflex construction with a special air chamber to reproduce low frequencies more accurately, while providing excellent noise isolation. This means the headphones can be used in noisy environments without external noise affecting the listening experience.
What makes SonicLink so special is that it enables wireless audio transmission with a latency of just 9 milliseconds. That’s 20 times faster than most Bluetooth connections and ensures that DJs don’t have to deal with the sound delays that often disrupt creative performance. This allows them to focus on the music and their set without being distracted by cables. The wireless setup gives them more freedom of movement and creates a direct, seamless connection between tracks and, of course, with the audience on the dance floor.
HDJ-F10: Wireless freedom and precision for DJs
What really sets the HDJ-F10 apart from other models is its adaptability to different situations. It can connect to a smartphone or other devices via Bluetooth 5.2 and offers the option of activating noise cancellation mode. This ensures that annoying outside noise is blocked out, allowing the wearer to concentrate fully on the music. This is an advantage not only in the club, but also in everyday life, for example in a noisy urban environment.
With a battery life of up to 9 hours when using SonicLink technology or up to 30 hours in Bluetooth mode, the HDJ-F10 can easily play through long sets without recharging. When the battery does run out, the headphones can be powered via a standard USB cable. Most conveniently, the battery is replaceable, so DJs can simply swap in a spare battery for even longer sessions.
More than just an eye-catcher in the DJ booth
The HDJ-F10’s rugged design makes it a reliable companion for travel and intensive use. It has even been tested to US military standards, giving it the durability needed for the rigours of a DJ’s life. The headphones are also foldable and can be stored in the supplied case for easy transport.
Another useful feature is compatibility with the HP-TX01 transmitter, which enables the SonicLink connection. This small and lightweight transmitter can be connected to almost any DJ mixer and instantly transmits sound to the HDJ-F10 headphones. Even at high volumes, the sound remains clear and detailed.
All in all, the HDJ-F10 offers not only innovative technical features, but also practical benefits for everyday DJing. Its versatility, excellent sound quality and well-designed ergonomics make it an essential tool for anyone looking to get the most out of their performance.
