Two units, same defect. Avoid this headphones.
I bought the TMA-2 Studio Wireless specifically for low-latency wireless guitar monitoring. In W+ Link mode there is obvious distortion in the high frequencies. Wired and Bluetooth playback are both perfectly clean, so the fault is isolated to the W+ Link signal path, i.e. the one feature this product is sold on.
I ruled out everything on my side: multiple sources (Neural DSP Nano Cortex, MacBook headphone out) at very low input levels, gain staging, flat EQ, re-pairing, and a firmware check. The S11 speaker units were already on the latest W+ Link firmware (1.0.8 / 4.0.4), and the X03 transmitter has no user-updatable firmware at all, so there is nothing more a customer can do.
I requested a replacement. The replacement unit had the exact same distortion. Two out of two is not bad luck, it's a design or QC problem. Frankly, it's hard to understand how a company can keep selling a product that visibly fails at the single thing it was built for. On top of that, the headphone amp is weak, so you have to drive the transmitter hot to get usable volume, which only makes things worse.
I've since returned the set for a refund.
