• SonicWall updated a security advisory for a Secure Mobile Access flaw
• CISA added the flaw to its KEV
• FCEB agencies have three weeks to apply the patch

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added an old SonicWall vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming that it is being used in the wild.

As a result, Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies have three weeks to install the patch or stop using the product entirely.

In late 2021, SonicWall released a security advisory, warning its users about an improper neutralization vulnerability affecting multiple SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) appliances. At the time, the company said the bug could be used to take down vulnerable endpoints with a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. However, the company has now updated the advisory to warn about in-the-wild abuse and to upgrade its severity score from medium to high (7.2).

Abuse in the wild

"Improper neutralization of special elements in the SMA100 management interface allows a remote authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary commands as a 'nobody' user, which could potentially lead to code execution," SonicWall said.

The flaw affects SMA 200, SMA 210, SMA 400, SMA 410, and SMA 500v (ESX, KVM, AWS, Azure) devices.

At the same time, CISA added the bug to KEV, warning about abuse in the wild. While its Binding Operational Directive 22-01 (which forces organizations to install the patch) only applies to government agencies, those in the private sector should take note when KEV gets a new entry.

"These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise," CISA said.

In 2021, SonicWall suffered one of its largest attacks ever, when a threat actor tracked as UNC2447 abused an SQL injection vulnerability in the SMA100 instance to gain unauthorized access to networks. Following the breach, they deployed the Sombrat backdoor and a ransomware variant dubbed FiveHands.

With Star Wars Celebration 2025 officially underway in Japan and just 17 days until May the 4th – better known as Star Wars Day – you might be asking yourself, "Where are all the new products themed around the best characters and stories from a galaxy far, far away?"

While TechRadar has already given you an exclusive first look at Audio-Technica Star Wars The Mandalorian, R2-D2, Grogu, and Darth Vader earbuds, and Lego has unveiled nine new sets all under the Star Wars theme, there is more.

And if you were bummed about the exclusive products available at Star Wars Celebration only, here’s some good news – a number of those products from the likes of Star Wars, Hasbro, Lego, and Amazon Devices are now up for order on Amazon.com.

Dark Dot

Kicking things off is a new stand for your Echo Devices that is perfect if your allegiance is with the Sith, Dark Side, or even the First Order. That’s right, Amazon is now making a Star Wars Tie Fighter Stand for the Echo Dot fourth and fifth gen.

The circular, orb-like Alexa-powered smart speaker will sit in the middle, occupying the cockpit and main hull of the acclaimed starship. Two panels stick out from the left and right sides, acting as the ship's wings to lift the Echo Dot off the ground.

Even neater, though, is that the LED ring at the bottom of the Echo Dot, which normally glows blue when Alexa is listening, green when you have a notification, or red when the microphones are muted, will glow throughout the shell of the Tie Fighter.

Among Echo stands, this Tie Fighter one punches above the rest. There is even cable management on the back, and it won’t obscure any functionality of the smart speaker. If you’re sold, the Star Wars Tie Fighter Stand for Amazon Echo Dot will be available later today.

This stand turns your Echo Dot into a Tie Fighter and is compatible with the fourth and fifth generation compact smart speakers.View Deal

As a Lego fan, I’ll never say no to another new set, and after dropping nine sets, the leaders in brick-building have dropped yet another new set. And fans of Rogue One or Andor are in for a real treat.

This is the brand-new Lego Star Wars K-2SO Security Droid, which will stand over 15 inches high once built. And as you might suspect from a figure, it’ll be poseable and comes with a placard that you’ll build detailing this droid's specs. You’ll also score a K-2SO standard-sized Minifigure.

Lego is taking pre-orders now for the K-2SO Security Droid set for $89.99, and it will ship on August 1, 2025.

Beyond the Tie Fighter Echo Dot Stand and this K-2SO Security Droid Lego, a few other products are going up for order in a bit on Amazon – many go live at 12PM ET today – and we’re listing our favorites below. Considering many of these were thought to be exclusive to Celebration in Japan, it’s a nice surprise.

Fans of Star Wars: A New Hope take notice, this is the new Han Solo The Black Series action figure from Hasbro, and will be up for order for $24.99 from Amazon. It’s modeled after the character as seen in the film and includes a blaster belt. View Deal

Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Vintage Collection offers up some of the coolest, most screen-accurate figures and sets. Now, as first shown off at Celebration and up for order at Hasbro Pulse, is the Bantha & Tusken Raider 2-Pack. It’s as if it was pulled right from Star Wars: A New Hope and even features retro packaging. It’s up for order now at $69.99 and will ship in summer 2025.View Deal

• HP has agreed to settle a lawsuit by forking out $4 million
• It relates to misleading pricing on PCs and peripherals ‘on sale’
• Eligible consumers will have purchased between 2021 and 2024

HP has agreed to pay a $4 million settlement over allegations of false advertising on its website relating to its sale of computers and peripherals.

The settlement stems from a lawsuit originally filed in October 2021. Preliminary approval for the class-action settlement was granted by a US District Judge earlier this month.

According to the lawsuit, HP allegedly showed misleading original prices on its website for some PCs, mice and keyboards, making it appear as though they were much cheaper than usual when on sale.

Misleading prices

Strike-through prices on sale items made products appear more discounted than they actually were, with some rare or never sold at the original price anyway.

HP’s $4 million payment will go toward “Settlement Class members’ claims; court-approved Notice and Settlement Administration Costs; court-approved Settlement Class Representatives’ Service Award; and court-approved Settlement Class Counsel Attorneys’ Fees and Costs Award,” the judge’s approval confirms. “All residual funds will be distributed pro rata to Settlement Class members who submitted valid claims and cashed checks.”

The lawsuit applies to customers who bought HP desktops, laptops, mice or keyboards advertised as being discounted for more than 75% of the time between June 5, 2021 and October 28, 2024.

One of the examples given was a $999.99 HP All-in-One machine bought by a plaintiff in September 2021. It was advertised as having $100 off, marked at $899.99, however it had been sold at that lower price since April 2021.

Among the three pages of eligible models shared by Ars Technica include HP Spectre, Chromebook, Envy, Pavilion and Omen models.

Although HP has agreed to pay a multimillion-dollar settlement, it hasn’t technically admitted to any wrongdoing. TechRadar Pro has asked HP for a reaction to the agreement, but we did not receive an immediate response.

Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation: One-minute review

I’m glad that the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation exists. When it comes to the PlayStation 5, there just aren’t all that many budget PS5 racing wheel options available. But the Apex is one I can just about recommend for those not wanting to shell out on some of the best racing wheels including the pricey Logitech G923 or the Logitech G Pro Racing Wheel.

The Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation costs significantly less than either of those products. And while I was generally happy with the performance it provides - not to mention the ease of setup - the concessions made to hit its low price point are immediately apparent.

Much like the Nintendo Switch-facing Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe (with which the Apex has many similarities including its chassis and overall performance), build quality leaves much to be desired. You’re getting an overtly plasticky build here, exacerbated by a pair of unsatisfyingly weightless pedals.

Force feedback is also off the table, which will likely be a deal breaker for players looking to purchase a racing wheel for that added level of immersion and feel. But if you can get over these cutbacks and are just looking for an inexpensive steering wheel for Gran Turismo 7, F1 24, and more, you’ll still find an acceptable racing experience with the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation.

(Image credit: Future) Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation: Price and availability

The Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation is available to buy now at Hori’s website for $119.99 / £99.99. That’s just a touch higher than the Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe ($109.99 / £89.99) and firmly places it in the budget category. Especially in the UK where it’s difficult to find a decent racing wheel under that £100 mark.

The key thing to note here is that while much more affordable than mid-range plug-and-play options like the Logitech G923 or the Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition, you can expect features to be decidedly stripped back here. If you can afford pricier options like these, they are worth considering if you’d like features like force feedback and better overall build quality.

Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation: Specs Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation: Design and features

Hori has used the Apex’s chassis before, chiefly with the Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe for Nintendo Switch. If you’ve seen that wheel, then you’ve essentially seen the Apex, too. The key difference here, naturally, is that the Apex is emblazoned with PlayStation’s logo and has a PlayStation-adjacent button layout.

Some button placements have shifted, too. On the Switch wheel, the ZL and ZR trigger buttons were found on the steering wheel itself. On the Apex, the left and right shoulder and trigger buttons are all lined up above the D-pad and face buttons respectively. There are also dedicated L3 and R3 buttons on the Apex, too.

(Image credit: Future)

The wheel itself is the best thing about the Apex in terms of design. The textured grips feel nice in the hands and ensure sturdy, non-slip play sessions. The flappy paddle gear switches behind these grips are significantly less refined, though, with a flimsy plastic build that feels like they could snap easily after long-term usage.

That same flimsiness also applies to the pedals, which are the same here as they were with the Mario Kart wheel. While they mostly get the job done, they (alongside the included clip-on footrest) have an overtly plastic and lightweight build, meaning they can easily slide around on harder surfaces.

The wheelbase, thankfully, is much sturdier and has a nice weight to it. You’ve also got two options here when it comes to securing the base in place; a clamp and a set of suction cups. You should avoid using the latter unless you lack a surface that you can easily clamp the wheel to. As with the Mario Kart wheel, I found the suction cups offered little to no purchase for the wheel on my desk. The included clamp, meanwhile, gets the job done just fine.

Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation: Performance

Despite my quibbles with some design and feature aspects, I can’t fault the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation much when it comes to overall performance. The experience you’re getting here is far from mindblowing, especially thanks to the lack of force feedback, but it’s still more than up to the task of providing a decent wheel feel for less, offering robust value for money

I tested the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation across PS5 and PC racing games, including Gran Turismo 7, EA Sports WRC, and F1 24. It’s clearly designed for PlayStation consoles first, as when loading into GT7, the wheel was ready to go with a preset control layout in place.

(Image credit: Future)

On PC, via XInput, some customization was required in F1 24 as the wheel wasn’t recognized in-game by default. In cases like this, you will need to set your own custom control layout. Thankfully there were no issues here, with buttons and steering all recognized as inputs without fuss.

I do miss the wider rotations available on mid-range racing wheels. The Hori Apex caps out just 270 degrees, which means it’s not best suited to serious simmers like iRacing, Assetto Corsa EVO, or indeed Euro Truck Simulator 2. But you should get by just fine in more casual friendly racers like GT7 and F1 24.

Should I buy the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation?

(Image credit: Future) Buy it if...

You’re on a budget or buying for a younger player
It’s as simple as that. If you can’t / won’t buy a more expensive mid-range to premium racing wheel - or you’re buying for a kid - the Hori Apex is good value for money.

You want an easy, plug-and-play experience
Many pricier wheels - particularly direct drive models - usually require a more setup. By comparison, the Apex just requires you to hook it up to a console or PC via USB and you’re good to go. It’s really as easy as that.

Don't buy it if...

You want a more immersive experience
A lack of force feedback is understandable given the Apex’s price, but it does mean that you lose a lot of that authentic racing feel here. A limited 270-degree turning angle also hurts in this regard.

Also consider...

If the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation isn’t quite doing it for you, have a look at these two PS5-compatible alternatives.

Thrustmaster T248
A bit of an old dog as far as racing wheels go, but one that’s nonetheless reliable and another solid budget pick. While pricier overall, the T248 does offer basic force feedback and a novel on-wheel display. 900 degrees of rotation is also fantastic for a wide variety of sim racers.

Read our Thrustmaster T248 review

Logitech G923
Arguably the first name in PS5 racing wheels, the Logitech G923 rules the roost even years after its initial launch. With fantastic build quality and immersive force feedback, it’s the mid-range plug-and-play racing wheel we recommend first for PS5 players.

How I tested the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation

• Tested for one week
• Tested across PS5 and PC
• Compared with the Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Deluxe

I tested the Hori Racing Wheel Apex for PlayStation over the course of a week. During that time, I hooked the wheel up to both PS5 and PC to test a variety of racing games including Gran Turismo 7, F1 24, and EA Sports WRC. While a lack of force feedback and a limited rotation means it’s not the most ideal for sim racers, I did find the Apex to be a good fit for arcade racers like Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

• Security researchers find a 10/10 flaw in Erlang/OTP SSH
• Horizon3 Attack Team says the flaw is "surprisingly easy" to exploit
• A patch is available, so users should update now

Erlang/OTP SSH, a set of libraries for the Erlang programming language, carries a maximum-severity vulnerability that allows for remote code execution and is “surprisingly easy” to exploit, researchers are warning.

A team of cybersecurity researchers from the Ruhr University Bochum (Germany) recently discovered an improper handling of pre-authentication protocol messages flaw, which affects all versions of Erlang/OTP SSH. It is tracked as CVE-2025-32433 and carries a severity score of 10/10 (critical).

Erlang/OTP SSH is a module within the Erlang/OTP standard library that provides support for implementing Secure Shell (SSH) clients and servers in Erlang applications.

Remote code execution

Erlang is a functional programming language and runtime system designed for building highly concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. It was originally developed by Ericsson, for use in telecoms, but has expanded into messaging systems, databases, and other applications where uptime and scalability are critical.

"The issue is caused by a flaw in the SSH protocol message handling which allows an attacker to send connection protocol messages prior to authentication," a warning on the OpenWall vulnerability mailing list reads.

Soon after the news broke, security researchers from the Horizon3 Attack Team tried to reproduce the flaw and found it to be “surprisingly easy”, which should be cause for concern.

“Just finished reproducing CVE-2025-32433 and putting together a quick PoC exploit — surprisingly easy,” the team said on X. “Wouldn’t be shocked if public PoCs start dropping soon. If you’re tracking this, now’s the time to take action.”

Taking action would mean applying the patch which is now available and which mitigates the risk. Since all older versions are vulnerable, all users are advised to upgrade to versions 25.3.2.10 and 26.2.4.

Threat actors are more active in the short window between a patch being released, and being applied by the users. Most organizations are not that diligent when it comes to patching, giving cybercriminals a relatively easy exploit avenue.

Whether you're looking for an affordable internet plan or want fast speeds, CNET's internet experts recommend these options.

• A US judge has deemed Google violated antitrust laws
• It reportedly monopolized ad market by tying to of its products together
• Google could have to sell off parts of its business, but remedies are yet to be confirmed

A Virginia District Judge has ruled Google violated antitrust laws by “willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power” in the advertising technology market, spelling potentially grave consequences for the tech giant.

The ruling follows a 2023 lawsuit by the Department of Justice, backed by eight separate US states, accusing the company of harming rivals, publishers and consumers online.

Google was specifically found guilty of monopolizing the market by tying together two parts of its adtech stack – DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) and Ad Exchange (AdX).

Judge rules that Google violated antitrust laws

Despite the findings, the judge did not find a monopoly in advertiser ad networks, representing a partial win for Google.

Although Google has been found guilty, the judge did not determine any remedies. A separate court hearing will set out what Google must do to comply with antitrust laws and set straight any violations. Consequences could include breaking up Google’s ad business, such as selling off Google Ad Manager, and further behavioral remedies like prohibiting Google from self-preferencing in ad auctions.

“Having found Google liable, the Court will set a briefing schedule and hearing date to determine the appropriate remedies for these antitrust violations,” the decision confirms.

Noting the continued employment of anticompetitive business practices for more than a decade, the judge said: “ In addition to depriving rivals of the ability to compete, this exclusionary conduct substantially harmed Google’s publisher customers, the competitive process, and, ultimately, consumers of information on the open web.”

“We won half of this case and we will appeal the other half. The Court found that our advertiser tools and our acquisitions, such as DoubleClick, don’t harm competition," Google’s VP of Regulatory Affairs Lee-Anne Mulholland told TechRadar Pro.

"Publishers have many options and they choose Google because our ad tech tools are simple, affordable and effective."

Google is also in hot water about its search market dominance – nine in 10 (89.7%) of all internet searches tracked by Statcounter used Google. Bing, in second place, accounted for just 4%.

If the company is found guilty of violation there, it could also be forced to sell off its Chrome business, a browser that accounts for two in three (66.2%) browser sessions globally. That case is ongoing.

OneOdio Studio Max 1: Two-minute review

According to friends of mine who've tried it, and a quick Google check to see if they know what they’re talking about, the best headphones for DJs (and other kinds of live music performers, by all accounts) are wired ones. Why? Latency – going wireless incurs a lag, and that's just not OK when you're building a set or trying to keep to a beat. But all of this is something OneOdio seems set on challenging with its new Studio Max 1 DJ headphones.

These new wireless cans aren’t aiming for our list of the best wireless headphones, but instead aim to provide musicians with a tempting wireless rival to the current wired hegemony – with the option to go back to wired if you'd like to. So, a sort of best wired headphones hybrid proposition, if you will.

In many ways they work, with a range of useful features and some handy in-box extras that you don’t see in many rivals. However, TechRadar is first and foremost a consumer website and for everyday non-DJ cans – or even people who want an audio solution for work and for play – and the Studio Max 1 don’t cut the mustard I'm afraid.

The primary issue is that the headphones just don’t sound good. Audio is oddly crunchy and with overblown bass that drowns out most everything else, and treble is so weak that even spoken-word audio doesn’t sound great.

The Studio Max 1 are also a little tiresome to set up, with a Bluetooth pairing process that’s a bit confusing and a design that needs some untangling when you use them, despite the lack of cables.

But there’s a lot to like here. OneOdio isn’t just giving you a pair of headphones in the box but several different cables (the cans have multiple ports) as well as a wireless transmitter to give you much further range for Bluetooth. For many users, the inclusion of this transmitter is all that it’ll take to make the Studio Max a must-buy; cutting the cable gives DJs a lot more freedom anyway, and the transmitter gives you even longer range.

A further potential downside of wireless over wired DJ headphones is that they need recharging, unlike wired ones. However OneOdio has given the Studio Max 1 such a big battery life that it lasts a whopping 120 hours between charges, a figure so high that it dwarfs even its longest-lasting rivals. Honestly, if battery life is important to you and you’re not a DJ, it still might make these cans a great buy.

These fantastic features aren’t quite enough to offset the poor audio quality in terms of my star rating for this review, but they'll definitely give some buyers a reason to ignore my rating and pick up the OneOdio Studio Max 1 anyway.

OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: Price and release date

(Image credit: Future)

• Released in February 2025
• Sell for $169.99 / £135 / AU$275

The OneOdio Studio Max 1 were announced in December 2024, and were released a few months later in February 2025.

You can pick up the headphones for $169.99 / £135 / AU$275, which is a little north of some of our favorite Bluetooth headphones but a reasonable price when you consider what comes in the box: there’s a carry bag, a USB-C to USB-C charging cable, 3.5mm-3.5mm audio cable, 3.5mm-6.35mm audio cable, 6.35mm audio adaptor and special Bluetooth transmitter. Yes, it's all included in that upfront cost.

The world of wireless DJ headphones features few competitors so far, and OneOdio’s offering is relatively affordable compared to, say, the AIAIAI TMA-2 which costs $300 / £250 (roughly AU$500). Of course, DJs or musicians can also find many worthy offerings by heading over to our list of the best headphones, but they won’t all have the full range of jacks and features.

Here's the thing: for accessories and functionality, there's value here. The problem is, headphones need to sound good first and foremost – ideally to anyone who listens, whether pro mixer or dedicated music lover. And as we'll see, that's the main issue with the OneOdio Studio Max: I don't think they'll appeal to either listener.

OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: Specs OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: Features

(Image credit: Future)

• Impressive 120-hour battery life
• Myriad connectivity options
• No ANC or app (but that's not really the point)

Let’s start with the OneOdio Studio Max 1’s best feature: its battery life. Stamina here stretches to a whopping 5 days of listening time. That’s right, days and not hours – OneOdio puts the figure at 120 hours.

That’s by far one of the longest battery lives you’ll find on wireless headphones, making this a fantastic pick for all kinds of users who may be unavailable to charge (or to remember to charge) their headphones regularly.

Certainly helping that battery life, but not helping all listeners, is the lack of any kind of noise cancellation in the Studio Max 1 (beyond the natural damping and passive isolating effect of the ear pads).

Given that you may want to use the DJ headphones in, say, busy music-filled halls where you’d want to cut away audience and reverb and projected music to hear just your turntables, it feels an odd choice in 2025 – although it's true that traditional DJ cans don't come bearing ANC. The thing is, it also makes these headphones a little less appealing for everyday listeners, although again, hybrid users will likely look to all the other things they can do that others can't.

So back to the Studio Max’s unique features, then: in the box OneOdio has included something called the Transmitter M1. You plug this into your musical instrument or DJ deck to greatly extend the Bluetooth connection range, and I can see this being useful in many a professional or casual situation. It also lets you plug into devices that don’t have on-board Bluetooth like guitar pedals, certain DJ decks and, very usefully for me, custom-build PCs which don’t have Bluetooth adaptors.

Also helping connectivity is a feature which OneOdio calls Rapid WiLL+, and it’s basically an improved latency for everyday Bluetooth connection. That’s not its only connection option though as the headphones, as mentioned, have a 3.5mm and 6.25mm jack as well as in-box cables to use them. There are a plethora of connection options available, making these really adaptable headphones.

Bluetooth users beware though: I found the Studio Max hair-pullingly annoying to set up via the standard in the first instance, due to (as I found out later) the headphones defaulting to pairing in a different mode. I never normally say this, but you’ll need to keep two eyes on the in-box instruction manual to make sure you set this up properly.

If you’re using your Studio Max 1 alongside a smartphone or tablet, you might miss the lack of a companion app and any of the features it might bring (an equalizer, touch control customization, visual indicator of battery life, etc). Almost all the features of these headphones boast are musician-friendly ones, and although notable and niche, the Studio Max 1 do therefore lack certain perks mere mortals may have become used to – and I do mean those you'd find in an app.

OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: Design

(Image credit: Future)

• Bulky body
• Many ports
• Many more buttons

The Studio Max 1 are rather large 'I'm the DJ' headphones – as far as I can recall, they’re the first headphones I’ve ever tested which I could see in my peripheral when worn normally. So don’t expect svelte little things, these are industrial-strength and industrial-sized.

The Studio Max 1 are big over-ear headphones with a padded headband and thick padded cups that tip the scales at 350g. Something I grew to really appreciate about them is how moveable they are, making them easy to fold for a bag, fit on different heads or listen with just one ear pressed against the corresponding driver: each cup rotates across 90-degrees inward to fold as well as 180 degrees on the x-axis and almost a full 360 degrees of tilt.

This did get a little confusing sometimes when I wanted to quickly listen to music, yet had to spend ages fiddling about and rotating cups, but I’m still in support of it.

(Image credit: Future)

The OneOdio take quite a lot of getting used to, and that’s because of how many different ports and buttons the headphones have. On the left cup you’ve got the USB-C charging port and the 6.25mm jack – so far, so simple. However, on the right side we’ve got the 3.5mm jack as well as a volume up button, a power button, a volume down button and another icon which simply says ‘B’ that I constantly forgot the function for (it’s for changing pairing modes).

When listening to music, I’d find it impossibly hard to feel out which of these little plastic stumps was for volume, and I quickly decided to stick to my input device’s volume buttons instead.

I couldn’t find an IP rating for the Studio Max 1 – they’re not exactly streamlined enough for swimming, but it’s something to bear in mind if you’re DJing at, say, a pool party or foam party (in case you take a time machine back to the 90s).

• Design score: 3/5

OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: Sound quality

(Image credit: Future)

• Tinny-sounding audio
• Overwhelming bass
• One issue better, one worse with wired audio

Given the range of features and the target audience of live musicians on a budget, you can begin to understand that perhaps connectivity was key and music quality wasn’t the most important aspect when delivering the OneOdio Studio Max 1 to meet a brief. I need to say that to get you in a forgiving mood, because these headphones don’t sound great.

The one thing going for the Studio Max 1 is a meaty amount of bass, so if that’s all you care about, then you might find the headphones acceptable. But it’s an indistinct and crunchy one-note kind of bass, so while you can feel your head shake, it’s hard to make out the actual strumming of a bass guitar or timbre of lower-register instruments.

(Image credit: Future)

I also struggled to enjoy vocals and other treble lines when they were barely audible behind the bass, a problem that also affects mid-register instruments and… well, anything that isn’t bass, really. Boy, did I wish that OneOdio had given these things some kind of equalizer I could use to reduce bass!

Another issue with the sound quality was simply that music sounds a little tinny, most notably in the usual suspects like drum hi-hats and rhythmic guitar riffs but apparent, per song, in everything from vocals to classical instruments. I say “a little” to indicate that it’s not as bad as in, say, cheapie $30 headphones, but it’s more than I’ve come to expect at this price.

It's worth noting that I did most of my testing in Bluetooth mode. When I connected the headphones via wires, the bass problem was noticeably diminished. However, the audio was inexplicably even crunchier across the frequencies, which put me off using cables.

• Sound quality: 2.5/5

OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: value

(Image credit: Future)

On their own, the OneOdio Studio Max 1 don’t quite justify their price, with the iffy audio quality making other headphones much more tempting.

However, OneOdio tilts the balance in its favor with all the in-box extras: the multiple cables, transmitter and carry bag and just their imposing size and meatiness all help the headphones to justify their cost.

• Value: 3.5/5

Should I buy the OneOdio Studio Max 1? Buy them if…

You often struggle with Bluetooth range
If you're often wandering outside the Bluetooth range of your headphones, whether it's for specific use cases or you're just a pacer, the in-box transmitter with the Studio Max will stop your songs sounding patchy.

You have the worst memory for charging
Reliably forget to charge your gadgets for weeks at a time? The 120-hour battery life of these headphones means you don't need to.

Don’t buy them if…

You care about audio first and foremost
Audio isn't the most important aspect of headphones for everyone, but if it is for you, then the Studio Max 1 won't impress you very much.

You want lightweight headphones
There's no denying that the OneOdios are some pretty hefty headphones, and they won't win you fashion points.

OneOdio Studio Max 1 review: Also consider

OneOdio Studio Wireless C
These alternative headphones to the Studio Max from OneOdio have many similar features, including a very long battery life and 50mm driver, but without any of the DJ trappings. Oh, and they're much cheaper… 

AIAIAI TMA-2 Wireless
If you want DJ headphones, the AIAIAI options here are much more lightweight options. The battery life isn't comparable but they also come with a wireless transmitter. (Our AIAIAI TMA-2 experiential is incoming, but until then, you can read more about the older TMA Studio Wireless+).

How I tested the OneOdio Studio Max 1

(Image credit: Future)

• Tested for two weeks
• Tested with smartphone, computer and keyboard

I tested the OneOdio Studio Max 1 for two weeks before writing this review. For the most part I used them alongside my Android smartphone via Bluetooth but I also used them alongside my PC and plugged into a digital keyboard at several times too.

I listened to music and audiobooks with the headphones, both at home and about, and also watched a movie and several hours of TV with them at home. The keyboard I used them with was a cheapie one, and this part of the testing was largely to appreciate the versatility that the in-box wires provides.

I've been testing gadgets at TechRadar for six years, so have a wealth of knowledge to draw on for this review. I've been playing the keyboard for about 20, but that didn't help out here too much.

My eyesight sucks. A detached retina and the subsequent operations to fix it, and the rise of glaucoma as a result, mean most of the vision in my left eye has gone. My right eye, on the other hand, is very short-sighted, meaning I can see bits of floating debris in the vitreous liquid behind the surface of my eye, which is distracting, and my current contact lens isn’t sitting correctly.

So while I can see, spotting fine details or seeing things clearly at a distance is a pain in the proverbial posterior. This harsh reality slammed into me particularly hard during a recent bachelor-party trip to Berlin. While steins of good German beer were consumed, we also did a lot of sightseeing – or at least my friends did, as I spent a good bit of time squinting.

That changed when I decided to lean on the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, both of which I had on my person, with the latter as a backup but also because I’m a tech journalist and live the dual-ecosystem life.

Specifically, the 5x telephoto cameras on both flagship phones came in very handy, letting me zoom in on details on the Reichstag or the myriad of street art sprayed onto the walls and buildings of the city. But both phones really helped me and my poor eyes when visiting the Berlin Zoo.

Zooming at the zoo

Now I’m not a huge fan of zoos; I appreciate the preservation side of things, but I don’t like seeing animals in limited space. Berlin Zoo did at least seem to have plenty of space for its collection of creatures, which was promising but also a bit of a challenge for my bad eyes.

I found myself desperately squinting into smartly made enclosures to spot some of the smaller and more camouflaged animals, or get a proper look at the ones in large enclosures that were sitting as far away from visitors as possible; I don’t blame them.

Enter the telephoto cameras of the aforementioned flagship phones. These basically become my eyes when entering the areas where the animals were better camouflaged or elusive. And they let me capture shots that clipped past the crowds and let me get a nice framed image of a prowling leopard or bemused bear; see the photo gallery below.

Advancements in the quality of cameras sensors, alongside optical zoom range and improved image processing – plus the addition of sensor fusion letting a phone take shots with multiple cameras at once and stitch an image out of them – has seen telephoto cameras, at least on some of the best phones, go from mild novelties to useful additions.

I’ve long favored telephoto cameras over ultra-wide ones, which can make me an outlier compared to some people. Maybe I just don’t have big groups of friends to capture in digital images. So the more recent push by flagship phones from bigger brands to go past 3x telephoto cameras and adapt 5x and above – think the past couple of generations of Galaxy, Pixel and Pro iPhones – has really caught my eye (pun partially intended).

And for helping me appreciate the range of animals at Berlin Zoo without enraging German animal handlers and administrators by leaping into lion enclosures, these telephoto cameras were basically essential.

Furthermore, the advancements in low-light photography have meant that when I entered a very dark section of the zoo where the nocturnal animals were kept, and where I basically couldn’t see, the night mode of the iPhone 16 Pro Max was a boon, letting me view various critters without activating a flash or anything obnoxiously disturbing.

Honestly, without such tech, I think I’d have stumbled from enclosure to enclosure without seeing a single critter.

Now I do need to see an optician to get a new contact lens that actually fits, and I’m not saying that looking at life through a smartphone is the panacea to my poor eyes.

Yet my trip to Berlin and its zoo hammered home quite how capable two of the best camera phones are. Sure, upgrades to phone cameras have been iterative lately. Nevertheless, each improvement leads to a better overall experience, and in my case, basically saved me from what could have been a rather miserable and frustrating time.

• The phones are due to launch in September next year

Should you upgrade to the iPhone 17 this year, or wait for the iPhone 18? A new leak suggests that the 2026 iPhone is going to come with a significant performance boost, but might also have a notably higher price tag.

This comes from seasoned tipster Digital Chat Station on Chinese social media site Weibo (via MacRumors). Apparently, the A20 chip destined for the iPhone 18 series will switch from a 3 nanometer to a 2 nanometer manufacturing process – essentially packing more transistors into the same space.

That should mean a major boost in performance and efficiency (which then improves battery life). iPhone chips get faster every year of course, but where a nanometer (nm) jump is involved, the differences in generations should be even greater.

We've heard this rumor before, from well-placed sources, and we're even more likely to believe it now that it's been repeated again. Expect Apple to make a lot of noise about the performance of its iPhones when next year rolls around.

It'll cost you

The iPhone 16 launched in September 2024 (Image credit: Future)

The same tipster says (via Google Translate) that the cost of these chips is expected to "increase significantly", with "another round of price increases for new phones". Add in current tariff uncertainty, and the 2026 iPhone series could be the most expensive yet.

Other chip makers, including Qualcomm and MediaTek, are apparently moving to the same 2 nm process next year as well – so flagship smartphones might be more expensive across the board, not just when it comes to Apple's offerings.

Again, this is something that other tipsters have predicted. This isn't a completely new rumor, but it adds to the mounting evidence that the iPhone 18 handsets are going to be impressively powerful... and perhaps rather pricey too.

Expect more rumors like this for the rest of this year and into the next one. In the meantime, we're hearing that the iPhone 17 range could come with a substantial redesign, certain video recording improvements, and a brand new model.
