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.

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.

Kali Audio HP-1, its first ever over-ear, DSP-powered headphone for mixing and QC that provides users with a neutral, accurate representation of their mix, as well as the ability to hear how their work will sound on the most popular headphones in use today and we have these in for review.
The HP-1 has 3 voicings:
Studio: transparent, accurate sound that will translate faithfully.
Bass-Heavy: replicates the sound of headphones that are popular with hip-hop and EDM creators and fans.
Consumer: replicates the sound of popular headphones sold alongside phones and computers.
Users can switch between the three voicings at the press of a button. The LED on the right earcup will change color to indicate the selected tuning, and a voice prompt will also let the user know exactly what they’re listening to.
Check out the first look at these headphones which we really look forward to testing out and if you have any questions drop em in the comments section on YouTube and stay tuned for a full hands on review soon.
A wired connection is available via a 3.5mm jack on the headphone and an included cable. While this will give the highest fidelity playback for serious studio use, Bluetooth pairing is also possible for casual listening on the go.
In addition to its merits as a studio tool, the DSP in the HP-1 allows it to be a fantastic all-around headphone. Features like active noise cancelling, wireless calling, and physical playback controls on the headphones let you take them along with you in your everyday life.
The HP-1 is a closed-back, over-ear headphone with 40mm drivers that support a frequency response of 18 Hz – 22 kHz. The battery supports at least 40 hours of playback on a full charge and can be recharged using the included USB-C cable. The headphones ship in a zippered carrying case that will protect them for travel.
The Kali Audio HP-1 is available globally now at kaliaudio.com, with an SRP of $199 / £199 / €199.
The SuperEQ A200 Over Ear Headphones Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Hi-Res Audio 6-Mic AI ENC is their latest product to hit the market at an affordable price but do they drop out with how they sound and what is on offer?
These also come with a removable mic so for those on calls at home or the office or even gamers will be delighted keeping these true to form being hybrid as many folk today use their headphones for both office work and gaming along with enjoying movies and music etc from the smartphone or tablet.
The headphones themselves are comfortable to wear long term and the cups cover the ears giving some passive noise isolation out of the box the cups are plush and deep and the headband also offers comfort with a soft plush finish, the rest of the headphones is finished in a matt black and do not show fingerprints.
The cups twist and pivot so will sit nicely on your head with no clamping effect and the arms can be adjusted without the ratchet effect we are use to however they do not fold up for travel etc but this is fine.
On the left side we have all the controls and this time around not seen too often is a multifucntional wheel for several actions and another button and also the USB-C port for the mic we spoke about earlier.
There is an app however limited in functionality but does enough for the price point how you get it will vary as on Android but you can download directly on iOS. You can see the screenshots below and more in the video review after that.
The sound is decent to be fair and decently loud and there is several EQs in the app and you can create your own too and save them. ANC is more prevalent in a quieter environment and that is where you will get the full potential from these headphones
You have mode switch and hearing protection on board and a timed shutdown in the app and you can also reset the headphones if required to do so.
The sound overall is loud punchy and fine with highs lows and mids and there is nice bass in there too especially on bass drops, you have noise reduction and transparency mode there too, no lag latency noted or tinny sound when at full volume making them a decent pair of headphones for the money.
Battery life is also quite good here with fast charge on deck allowing you 7hrs for 5 mins charge and up to 100 hours with no ANC and around 60 with ANC though user settings will give a different time for everyone..

The JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition Wireless Headphones have been the latest cans on my ears the last few weeks and being a massive headphone fan I could not wait to test these out.
The presentation to begin with was excellent and first impressions last and one like this could leave slight hints at others as to how it is done.
Inside the box we also get a carry case which is excellent as these fold up and will keep them safe when not in use, also we get a wireless charger, yes you seen that correctly a wireless charger for you headphones which for me is great as I have adopted it all over the house and office so no more cables for me here but of course you can charge the old fashioned way if you like
The build quality is also excellent with a nice matt finish and metal frame which does not squeak or make noise when extending the arms each side and feels really premium all round.
You have the usual i/os and one button and the rest is gestures#swipes giving them a clean look with no buttons protruding from the sides and this works well with the one button being an MFB (multi-function button) quite common to day to have less buttons in general.
Moreover all these can be controlled in the JLab app which is excellent and being my first time to try it I was impressed and the level of control you get here compared others and no fixed controls which are annoying and if you purchase these do spend time on the app and go through it we have done so in the video review down below and you can also get an idea in the screenshots provided.
There is 32 mm high-fidelity dynamic drivers on deck here and these do pack a serious punch and from testing many headphones during and year these are the best so far to date I have tried, the ANC to being with is excellent and impressive with stay aware also present but do delve into ANC and see for yourself how good it is.
The audio is what you want to know about and it is glorious you also have Spatial Audio here which if you have not tested before do so and this is also now coming the norm in headphones and earbuds like ANC was when it first came out it just takes things to a new level for the audio experience.
Highs lows and mids all great all genres tested where excellent with my test tracks and with the JLab app you only enhance the full audio experience and it is one to sit back and enjoy and forget about the world outside, no lag latency no tinny sound infact all round just perfect in my book and with the EQ settings it just gets better so do check them all out. Calls also for the few I took were excellent and also
used on teams and other sites like these for chats and no issues noted either end, also you have multipoint technology on board which like many today use their laptop and phone its another great feature to have and works flawlessly.
The headphones are also comfortable to wear all day and if you need a charge do no forget the wireless charging puck you get and besides that they have up to 90 hrs battery life which is great which will vary on your personal settings and if you are in the market for new headphones these should be on the list right now and you will thank me later. See the video review below for more.
