Eleven of twelve professional reviews recommend it: SonicLink monitoring has no audible delay, the sound is punchy, loud and bass-forward, and the sturdy build doubles as everyday Bluetooth headphones. The repeated reservations are the 356 g weight and tight clamp, a faint hiss over wireless, average noise cancelling and a high price once the transmitter is added. No owner reviews long enough to read were found. Buy it if cable-free mixing matters; otherwise wired headphones cost less.
From 12 professional reviews: a fair amount of evidence.

The HP-TX01 does not support a wireless connection with the WAVE-EIGHT portable wireless DJ speaker Manufacturer spec sheet (AlphaTheta), checked 2026-10-11
The headphones-only HDJ-F10 box has no transmitter; SonicLink needs the HP-TX01, the HDJ-F10-TX bundle, or a device with SonicLink built in Manufacturer spec sheet (AlphaTheta (HDJ-F10 manual)), checked 2026-10-11
Headphones and transmitter charge over the supplied USB-C cable from a USB power adapter sold separately; about 2.5 hours for the headphones and 4 for the transmitter
The AlphaTheta HDJ-F10 is a closed, wireless DJ headphone from AlphaTheta, the company behind Pioneer DJ. It was released in October 2024 as the flagship headphone under the AlphaTheta brand, and AlphaTheta says it isolates better than Pioneer DJ's wired HDJ-X10.
Its main feature is SonicLink, AlphaTheta's own low-latency wireless link. The HP-TX01 transmitter plugs into the PHONES or 3.5 mm headphone output of a DJ mixer and sends audio to the headphones with 9 ms of latency, which AlphaTheta puts at 20 times faster than the Bluetooth SBC codec. The XDJ-AZ has the transmitter built in. SonicLink range is about 15 m.
The headphones also work as Bluetooth 5.2 headphones (SBC and AAC) with active noise cancelling, a transparency mode and a microphone for calls, and they can be played through a cable. Battery life is about 9 hours on SonicLink and 30 hours on Bluetooth, and they charge over USB-C. Inside are 40 mm drivers with a PEEK-PU-PEEK diaphragm; they weigh 356 g and passed the MIL-STD-810H shock test.
The HDJ-F10 is sold alone or as the HDJ-F10-TX bundle with the transmitter. The headphones-only box holds a 1.2 m coiled cable, a threaded 6.3 mm adapter, a USB-C charging cable, spare ear pads and a carry pouch. The bundle adds the transmitter and a second USB-C cable, and comes with a 1.6 m straight cable instead of the coiled one.
