Battery life is also great here however this vairies per user they claim up to 95 hours but real world testing for me with max volume and ANC etc I averaged about 60 hrs you also get 11 hours of use after a 10 minute charge which is excellent. You can also connect to two devices which is handy for those like me who work on PC laptop and phone.
Overall for the money here these are worth the spend and knowing you will get decent sound an app great battery life and more.

Arctis Nova Elite (luxury) — world’s first Hi-Fi Wireless Certified gaming headphones
At CES 2026, Amsterdam-based consumer audio specialist Breggz announces that the Zohn-1, a true high-end wireless in-ear hearable offering pristine sound, has partnered with IMAX® and DTS® to introduce the first wireless in-ear earphones with IMAX® Enhanced certification.
IMAX Enhanced device certification ensures consumer electronics devices meet the highest standards, delivering the renowned IMAX immersive experience on personal devices for the highest-quality entertainment experiences wherever fans are watching. The IMAX Enhanced certification of the Breggz Zohn-1 introduces a new device category to the program, enabling consumers to experience the highest fidelity sound on qualifying in-ear hearables, complementing the IMAX Enhanced-certified suite of TVs, PC laptops, tablets, mobile phones, AVRs, loudspeakers and soundbars.
“Breggz is proud to be the first wireless in-ear hearable certified for IMAX Enhanced, introducing a new device category to unlock more premium experiences on personal devices,” says singer/artist and Breggz founder Xander de Buisonjé. “IMAX embodies what I intended when founding Breggz; I just want the world to hear what I hear.” Continuing, “Artists and filmmakers spend significant time and effort to deliver the best possible audio quality, but hearing the poor sound quality of in-ear hearables puts all that hard work and creative intent to waste—this is why I had to introduce the Zohn-1.”
“IMAX Enhanced is about delivering best-in-class, premium experiences that honor creative intent, making our partnership with Breggz a natural fit,” said Giovanni Dolci, Chief Commercial Officer at IMAX. “By expanding IMAX Enhanced into a premium in-ear device, we’re growing the IMAX Experience and giving fans a way to enjoy content with the same clarity, power, and intent that artists and filmmakers hear.”
The Zohn-1 is recognised for introducing four groundbreaking audio principles into the wireless in-ear headphone—perfect anatomical fit, advanced balanced acoustic drivers, sophisticated microprocessing and greater personalization. Through these principles, Breggz introduces a new kind of listening experience, one that adapts to you. Designed for how people watch and listen today, the Breggz and IMAX partnership creates a more personal and immersive connection to content, deepening fandom and making every moment feel closer, richer, and more intentional.
To learn more about the IMAX Enhanced programme, visit IMAX and DTS at the Aria Resort & Casino Penthouse Sky Suites at CES – Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 6-9. www.imax.com
The OneOdio Studio Max 1 Wireless Over-Ear DJ Headphones are a pair of ove-ear cans that impress from a listening experience via a mobile in my tests as I have no DJ equipment they have been tested on both Android and iOS and with not having a companion app which is dissapointing they still deliver on audio and its all good.
The build quality is great here and not too heavy eiather with plus cups that cover the ears nicely and block out much of the external noise with not having ANC listed on the specs, having said that if you are at home and turn these up to the max you will hear NOTHING!!
These also fold up and you get a nice carry bag inside along with all the extra cables and a dongle and they have ultra low latency which is 20ms with wired connectivity via 3.5mm/6.35mm jacks for instruments like guitars and keyboards and so on which again I do not own.
The OneOdio Studio Max 1 are equipped with 50mm drivers featuring OFC copper-clad coils, these headphones deliver deep bass and crystal-clear highs, lows and mids are fine and all genres tested in my usual test run these did not dissapoint even down to to hearing more intricate details than you would not expect to which was a win for me and when the volume is turned up to the max you will be impressed and I can only imagine how they would sound in a DJ set up and so on. Calls also sounded great during my testing and clear both ends again maxed out volume which is how I prefer to use my earbuds and headphones.
There is some controls on the right cup being your power on/off volume up and down skip and reverse tracks and play and pause, there is also the option to change modes, there is 4 in total and access to your voice assistant and the keys work really well. you also have your headphone socket and USB-C charge port.

QCY, a global leader in wireless audio industry, today unveiled the H3S, the latest evolution of its popular H3 headphone line. Building on the strengths of its predecessor — powerful noise cancellation, immersive sound, and all-day comfort — the new H3S introduces meaningful upgrades in ANC, audio performance, endurance, and ergonomics to set a new benchmark in flagship headphones at an accessible price point. We have been testing these out for a few weeks and they deliver..
Flagship-Grade ANC & Call Clarity
The H3S features adaptive –56 dB active noise cancellation, powered by a 7-microphone array (6 ANC mics) and a DNN Neural Network Algorithm. This intelligent system reduces subway noise by up to 92% and filters 85% of background chatter. For calls, three anti-wind microphones combined with the DNN algorithm improve clarity by up to 80%, even in crowded or windy conditions. Multiple ANC modes — including Commute, Indoor, and Anti-Wind — ensure a natural, pressure-free listening experience in any environment.
Studio-Quality Dual-Driver Audio
With its dual-driver architecture, the H3S combines a 40 mm titanium-coated diaphragm for powerful mids and bass with a 13 mm tweeter for crisp highs — perfect for music lovers. Certified for Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Wireless with LDAC support, the H3S covers a frequency range of 20 Hz–40 kHz, delivering every detail — from the punch of EDM to the spacious textures of orchestral scores.
Ultra-Light Comfort, Extreme Endurance
Weighing just 240 g, the H3S is built for long sessions. A 13° angled speaker mesh improves projection and passive isolation, while deeper earcups fit larger ears without pressure. Soft protein-leather cushions and a padded, adjustable headband ensure lasting comfort. Rotatable, foldable earcups and an IPX5 water-resistance rating make the H3S equally ready for commutes, workouts, or long-haul travel however no carry case is given with them.
On battery performance, it leads the category with up to 102 hours of playback (58 with ANC on). And for those always on the go, just a quick 10-minute charge powers up an impressive 7 hours of listening, keeping music flowing without interruption. Real time battery life will vary per users settings and this is the norm for all earbuds and headphones.
Smarter Connectivity and Controls
The H3S is designed for seamless everyday use. It supports Bluetooth 6.0 with dual-device pairing, enabling smooth switching between phone and laptop. Users can also choose between wireless and Type-C wired listening, with ANC available in both modes.
