AiAiAi TMA-1 Studio DJ Headphone Review

0 comments
 
AiAiAi takes its TMA-1 headphones out from the DJ box, into the Studio and the TMA-1 DJ Headphone is probably the most well thought-out dj headphones ever designed. Drawing input from an impressive DJ roster list (2Manydjs, A-Trak, Flying Lotus, James Murphy to name a few) AIAIAI and Danish design firm KibiSi have specifically addressed all the headphone needs of the DJ and those cushions now go fully over-ear for comfort and isolation, along with some more padding around the headband. There is a 3mm cotton fiber filter for isolation and the headphone cup out of a resistant ABS material to protect the fragile parts and the 1.7 meter cable has a mini jack connection in both ends as well as a reinforced plug with a 1/8 adapter option. You can grab them with or without a mic priced at $249 and $269 respectively.



The new AIAIAI headphones designed specifically for the on-the-go producer/musician will be shipped on the 20th of June. The TMA-1 Studio was born out of necessity. Where we prevoiusly sought to fill the need for a particular kind of durable, great-sounding DJ Headphone with the TMA-1, the TMA-1 Studio is our response to the needs of today's frequently traveling producers and musicians. Designed by longtime collaborators, KiBiSi, and engineered in cooperation with one of Scandinavias' most prominent producers and sound engineers, Jon Schumann, the latest addition to the AIAIAI headphone family provides durability for the road, comfort over longer periods of time for producing, and a meticulously engineered sound design suitable for mixing on the laptop. Where the TMA-1 enhances the DJ performance, the TMA-1 Studio enriches the music production experience. At the core of the TMA-1 Studio is a 40mm titanium driver insulated and filtrated by the most advanced speaker materials available. From the voice coil, to the yoke, magnet and speaker diaphragm, the TMA-1 Studio achieves crisp highs without compromising its ability to deliver rich mids and deep lows. The design also takes the different situations in which headphones are used into account - from long studio sessions to just being on the road and recording. What's more, it offers two types of easily changeable and different over-ear cushions. Each cushion is connected to a specially designed cushion plate. The one piece TMA-1 Studio headband is designed to provide the functionality of a DJ headphone headband but also to strip it down to the bare essentials. This ensures a stronger and more durable product, which can withstand daily use for a considerable length of time. The TMA-1 Studio is equipped with a new PU headband padding, which is softer, more durable and extra comfortable to wear over longer periods of time.
