The OneOdio Studio Max 2 is a Bluetooth headphone designed with a low-latency wireless connection that can be used for DJing, instrument monitoring, or gaming. The model features Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC, dual Hi-Res certification, a 120-hour battery life, and a 45mm driver in each earcup.
Crucially, it includes a supplied transmitter that enables a 9ms wireless latency via a 2.4GHz protocol (RapidWiLL+). This low latency figure is noted as being below the threshold where a human ear detects a delay, making it suitable for activities like DJing or playing competitive games. A Gaming Mode toggle also promises similar low latency for mobile gaming without the external transmitter.
The headphone’s physical design includes large earcups finished in black plastic, which some reviewers feel looks budget compared to competitors. While DJs traditionally prefer more compact headphones, the Studio Max 2 is noted as being large in silhouette. The unit includes physical controls for power, volume, and toggling between Bluetooth and the Ultra-Low Latency (ULL) mode, alongside both 3.5mm and 6.35mm jack inputs on the earcup itself.
Aside from the size and plastic build, the unit boasts significant features. It supports the OneOdio app, which offers three sound presets (Music, Bass, Monitoring) and a custom 10-band EQ for fine-tuning the audio response. The battery life is cited as 120 hours of Bluetooth playback at moderate volume.
In terms of pricing, the standard version is available in the UK for £179.99. When compared to rival low-latency options, such as AIAIAI’s TMA-2 Studio Wireless (priced around £250) and AlphaTheta’s HDJ-F10-TX (over £469), the Studio Max 2 is positioned as a cost-effective entry into the low-latency wireless category. The headphones are tuned by KSHMR, resulting in a sound profile that is punchy and energetic for DJ use, rather than a neutral monitoring tuning.
Despite its plastic build and large size, the report concludes that the Studio Max 2 makes a strong case for itself when used as a second pair of headphones for mobile performers, general monitoring, or for gamers who require reliable wireless performance without noticeable lag.
