Less Weight, More Freedom? Testing The AlphaTheta HDJ-F9 Wireless Headphones

 

AlphaTheta’s first headphones to feature their Sonic Link low-latency wireless technology, the HDJ-F10, were definitely not for everyone, as one of the biggest and heaviest options on the market. Now they’re expanding that range with the new on-ear HDJ-F9 model, which are lighter, more compact – but also cost quite a similar price.
