OneOdio has been well known in the low-budget headphones market, so I was quite surprised when they released the Studio Max 1 DJ Wireless Headphones at the price tag of $169.99. The headphones are designed for professional DJs or music producers, and they come with some impressive features for both studio work and live performances. Let’s find out if they are worth the higher price.

Box Contents

Inside the box, you’ll find the headphones themselves, the M1 wireless transmitter, a short coiled 3.5mm to 3.5mm/6.35mm audio cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging and connecting to devices. Additionally, there’s a coiled 3.5mm to 6.35mm audio cable for wired DJ mode and a straight 3.5mm audio cable for standard wired monitoring. You also have a soft carrying pouch to carry the headphones as well as all of those accessories. I was disappointed not to see a USB-C to USB-C cable as it is more convenient to connect to newer devices like my laptop; At this time, I still need to use an adapter when connecting to my laptop.
Design and Build Quality

The headphones feature an over-ear design with memory-protein material, which I find quite comfortable for long listening sessions. The headband is soft and adjustable, fitting well on my head, and the foldable design with reversible housing is perfect for single-sided monitoring; This is a very important feature for DJing. Although the exterior is made mostly out of plastic, the build quality feels solid, and the sleek black color makes it look professional. The ear muffs deliver great isolation; So they reduce ambient noise during use even though there is no active noise-cancelling feature.
The Studio Max 1 offers many connectivity options:
- Wireless DJ Mode: Uses the M1 transmitter for ultra-low latency, ideal for live performances.
- Bluetooth Mode: Standard wireless listening with up to 120 hours of battery life.
- Wired Monitoring: Connects via a standard 3.5mm cable
- DJ Wired Mode: Uses a 6.35mm cable, suitable for professional setups.

You can easily switch between Bluetooth and Low Latency modes with a press of a button on the right earcup. And as soon as you plug in the audio cable, the headphones automatically turn to the wired mode.

The M1 wireless transmitter is probably the most interesting feature of these headphones as it offers ultra-low latency of 20ms. This is useful for DJs because any delay can disrupt timing when cueing tracks. When connected to my MacBook via the included USB-C cable, I experience no latency issues, and the low latency is impressive, so this could be great for live performances. In the mean time, the USB-C charges the transmitter while in use, so I never have to worry about recharging the transmitter. However, if you plan to use the 3.5mm audio cable to connect to a laptop, you might notice a buzzing noise in the background.
Battery life of the OneOdio is quite impressive with up to 120 hours on a single charge in Bluetooth mode. I haven’t tested the exact duration, but during intensive use, the battery holds up well, lasting weeks without needing a recharge.
Sound Quality

The Studio Max 1 is equipped with 50mm driver units, and supports LDAC for high-resolution streaming. The sound profile of the OneOdio can be described as distinctly V-shaped with emphasis on the lows and highs, while the mids are slightly recessed. The bass is punchy and pronounced, which is perfect for driving electronic beats or bass-heavy genres, so this would be suitable for casual use or DJing. The highs are crisp and elevated, adding sparkle to cymbals and synths, though they can occasionally feel a touch sharp at higher volumes. Meanwhile, the mids, which carry vocals and instruments like guitars, are dialed back just enough to create a sense of depth but may lack the clarity and presence that some might prefer for detailed mixing. In general, the headphones delivers an energetic listening experience rather than the flat, neutral response that audiophiles or studio professionals prefer for critical monitoring.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the OneOdio Studio Max 1 is not the best wireless headphones on the market but they stand out thanks to the M1 transmitter. These headphones are a great choice for DJs who are looking for a rich sound and low-latency wireless performance. It has a price tag of $169.99 but you can get a 15% discount when applying the coupon code CJHVATYN on Amazon or STM1social on its official website.
