A few years ago Alphatheta was known as Pioneer DJ, the pioneer section specialized in the world of the, as the name implies, DJs. It is undoubtedly a mythical brand in the audio section and has now presented its HDJ-F10 headphones of classic style, heavy and suprauralcompletely black, destined in the first instance to the world dj.
The interesting thing about them is that, if we enjoy good sound and we are fans of the headphones with isolation by construction and not only for noise cancellation, the HDJ-F10 are a very good option. It has a fabric and foam pads from ViscoeltoStica insistent and resistant to time (They bring spare pads is a great point in favor). They have a designñOr robust in its entirety, the headband is padded and is comfortable even after several hours and its weight, of 356 grams, is not perceived so much.
One of the outstanding sections is that, due to its initial origin and public (DJs), they not only work with Bluetooth or with a standard cable connection, but also use the new Alphatheta Soniclink technology for establish a wireless link between the compatible DJ equipment and the headphonesor alternatively, any DJ equipment when the Soniclink transmitter included is connected to it.
Regarding the cable, it is a spiral one whose standard length is just over a meter, but it reaches 3 meters long. It can be adequate for certain tasks or too extensive for others and there is thinking about it in advance. Getting an alternative cable is possible, although some of the specific configurations designed by Alphatheta will be lost.
As Bluetooth headphones, TThey have noise cancellation, voice control, microphone, ability to receive calls and volume controls and navigationcome on the standard in a current Bluetooth headset.
Alphatheta presents them in two versions, the “Premium”, so to speak with a transmitter. This is an interesting addition to professionals, since it transmits the sound of A direct mixer to the HDJ-F10 with an ultra-ability (just 9 milliseconds). And can be used with any DJ mixer with pHone or mini jack stereo control of 3.5 mm.
The rest of the box includes the connection cable, a travel bag and two USB-C cables to USB-C so that the transmitter and headphones can be loaded at the same time. The load is not very fast: about 90 minutes for 9 hours of maximum connection.
To activate the Bluetooth or Soniclink connection, the helmets have A very well disguised switch at the top of the left headset And the pairing, in both cases, is very fast.
With regard to sound quality, they are left over and it is to wait taking into account their destination. For this same reason, The noise cancellation is not the one we are used to and that pursues the total isolationhere is an accessory configuration, not a destination. Graves, acute, reproduction of voices, comfort and latency are taken care of. The noise cancellation goes to second place.
Verdict
Its price is € 410. They stand out in all sections linked to sound and have a latency that makes them desire for those in the world of video games. Cancellation is not the best in the market.
