AIAIAI* TMA-2 Pro Range - Studio Wireless+ Preset, black

Cool Design, great sound, comfortable fit, and lengthy battery life…

Great set of studio perfomance headphones. Asthetically pleasing too. Came in at a good price aswell.

Maybe I had a duff pair but was surprised by how loud the noise floor is using wireless. You can kind of work around this by turning the volume on the earphones down to about 20% and then cranking the source up but I wished it had been more widely available as information before I made a purchase. It kind of feels like I’m having to hack the device to get the quality sound I’d expect. They also make a lot of noise on their own. Just turning my head made them rustle and creak at a level that became annoying. I had some issues with the latency but Aiaiai suggested returning for a repair. I don’t think this is a normal issue. None of the above would have been a dealbreaker except for the fact that these are really expensive headphones. I don’t mind paying for quality (and have done!) but these feel like they shouldn’t be more than about a £150. You’re basically just paying because these are the 1st to market with this kind of technology. I love the brand but returned them. Hoping that the technology improves because they are such an amazing concept and incredibly freeing in the studio. I’ll buy the next generation if they improve the above.

These solve a few very specific problems for music producers, DJs and video editors. I use them for late-night, solo production sessions where I want to jam on synths without waking up the neighbours. They have a slightly higher-than-usual noise floor, which wasn't a bad trade-off, considering I can now go wireless in the studio. No more rolling my wheelie chair over the headphone cable. But they have the AIAIAI family sound, which lacks high-end compared to most other brands. I tested them against Audio-Technica, AKG and Apple AirPods Pro + Max. The battery life is excellent, though. I've only charged them once in nearly two weeks. With all that said, I'm keeping mine. But they'll pretty much just live in the studio at home. It's nice to have Bluetooth available for more general listening, but if you already have wireless earbuds, these probably won't replace them. Their sonic profile makes general music listening a little dull, and their lack of ANC makes them my second choice for day-to-day use after the AirPods Pro.

BT worked fine, comfort is fine, sounds fine, but the 2.4 dongle causes such a loud hiss that I thought I had a defective product. Googled it as one does and their official site's "fix" is to turn to headset down to like 15-20% volume and boost it at the other end. On my system this made the headset so quiet it was pointless, how can this be sold with such a problem when aimed at studio professionals I have no idea. Big shame, was looking forward to these. Returned.

Perfect

I'm not an audiophile in the general sense, I don't make or product music... I just love listening to music, clean and crisp sounding audio and punchy bass when it's called for in a genre or song. But I don't like to listen to my music when I'm home chilling quite loud and these ain't it for me! I've wanted a set of AIAIAI headphones for the longest time but somehow kept upgrading my IEM collection instead as I find them just easier to deal with when on trains and so on. But finally bit the bullet and went for the studio pro wireless+ for home casual and if good gaming audio upgrade and I'm kinda disappointed! First up to bat the volume I'm guessing a hard limit? But I'd say at max volume connect wire, bt and Wireless + is about 20% down on any other headphones I've used! Now id say most people would say well I don't like them up that high and that's fair but at least others give you the option to push them if you want. Build quality is overall lovely almost perfect bar the Alcantera earpads the feel on these is amazing but the foam in side lacks filling and density. Audio quality is goodish clean but not really crisp with not distortion, overall id say it's not great my Hype4 iems produce cleaner sounding audio across the board granted they are 400 plus quid but they are ear buds..not headphones, and considering the volume levels are so poor id say if these had any distortion then something is terriblely wrong! Build Quality: 8.5/10 (lost a point for the very spongy cover filling ear pads Comfort: 9/10 (some may not like the pressure but it's not fatiguing Audio Quality: 6/10 Audio Volume: 4/10 Looks/Design: 10/10 I love the swapable parts way of doing these I really do I'm gutted I don't like them. I am sending back tho

be aware what you are buying and you will be fine. wireless transmission at low latency will mean some noise and requires careful gain staging to reduce/minimise a little background 'hiss'. Bluetooth mode works well enough. Low latency connection is exactly that. Button presses take too long to activate functions in general and the button are hard to press / have poor tactile feedback. the app is fairly useless - could be so much more useful with some development. If you want low latency headphones for music production and are good at remembering to charge things then these work very well indeed. In fact that basically have no competition.
