AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Wireless+ - World’s First Wireless Headphones for Music Creators
- I will start this review off by saying these are not my best sounding headphones. My Beyerdynamic Aventho and Audeze Penrose sound better in almost every way. In fact, my cursed Drop Panda that no longer even turn on might even sound better and I do not like how they sound wired because I remember how good they sounded wireless when tuned to my hearing preferences. But that\'s not really why I love these headphones so much.To be fair, they don\'t sound bad at all. But I bought them for a completely different reason than any of the aforementioned headphones. I bought these for their 2.4Ghz wireless feature as the words \"lossless\" and \"low-latency\" are really what sold this for me. I wanted a pair of headphones for monitoring and general studio use to replace my missing Sennheiser HD280. But I liked the idea of being able to play my keyboard and digital piano without being tied down by wires or monitoring my microphones for work calls without having wires sprawled all over my desk. In fact, the idea of being able to just listen to music wirelessly but without the latency and hassle of bluetooth was calling me.The biggest disadvantage to these headphones in my mind is not how they sound - as I said before, these aren\'t my best sounding headphones. No, the worst feature is the hiss you get when you use them over 2.4GHz. You can mediate this a bit by turning down the volume on the headphones themselves and raising it at the source, but these aren\'t the loudest/easiest to drive headphones, so you could find yourself nearly maxing out volume depending on the device and audio program/app you\'re listening to. In most cases, I\'ve just learned to live with the hiss because not having the wire is more important in the situation where I choose to use this headphone over 2.4Ghz. (btw, the Avantree Audiplex 2403 is an option for enjoying wireless 2.4Ghz audio with much less hiss but also with the slight hassle of an additional dongle and cable involved - I did a review of that as well; it\'s pretty great for what it is). When you want freedom from wires, having \"lossless\" and \"low-latency\" wireless freedom is just great. 2.4Ghz is so much better than even AptX LL.My second reason for loving these headphones is how comfortable they are for my small head. Because I have very short hair and a relatively small lady-head, most headphones don\'t fit me well even at their smallest headband setting. I usually have to go with on-ear options like the aforementioned Aventho or my beloved Marshall Mid ANC because they fit me. But over-ear is still more comfortable than on-ear and these headphones with their Alcantara earcups fit me better and are more comfortable for me than any other pair over over-ear headphones I currently own. So I reach for these even though my Penrose sounds better and is also wireless via 2.4Ghz dongle. I reach for it over my Bluetooth headhones and wired/wirelss earphones.And that brings me to the next thing I love about these headphones. Because Aiaiai makes so many pieces for these headphones, they can kinda be whatever you want them to be. I picked up the USB-C cable (which I had to import from Europe at a stupid price, sigh), and the straight 3.5mm cable (direct from Aiaiai). When I\'m in a situation where I don\'t need the wireless freedom, I can plug the headphones into one of my Android devices via the USB-C cable, or I can even plug in the 3.5mm cable into one of my USB DACs or my Sony DAP. I love the flexibility this system offers me and I love the idea that if there\'s an upgrade to the wireless system, I can swap out the headband and transmitter someday (hopefully for one with less hiss). If the earcups wear out, I can replace them. And if the company comes out with improved drivers, I can upgrade that as well. I would buy these headphones again in a heartbeat if something happened to them.BTW - I haven\'t seen any reviews anywhere comparing these to the new Rode NTH-100. My husband, who is a drummer and budding DJ, just picked up a pair for his own monitoring purposes. They are very similar in sound and if you have small ears, similar in comfort. I find that my ears are just large enough that I feel the earcups on the Rode (probably again because of the position of the cups on my small head) and while that isn\'t annoying, I do know from reading reviews that this annoys some people. There is an audible difference in the midrange (~300-400hz) between the two as the Rode has a slight bump in almost the exact place where the TMA-2 has a slight dip and there is more presence in the very high-end on the TMA-2 as well. But in general, it\'s not a stark difference for most situations and for listening to music it wasn\'t an issue for me. But if you\'re using either set for recording or mixing, you do need to be aware of the frequency response for each in case you need to compensate for how you want the audio to sound vs. what you\'re hearing. This is true of anything that isn\'t perfectly flat, though, and neither headphone is perfectly flat. But I didn\'t come away listening to his headphones and feeling bad about my purchase.Right now, there is nothing else out there quite like these headphones and for that reason alone, I think these are worth a look for anyone looking for the flexibility and future expandability this pair offers.
- This is game changer. I play guitar, and it\'s amazing that I can use this headphones without latency... it really helps when I have to put on and remove the guitar. Support is also great, my right speaker stopped working after 5 months (which is why the 4 starts) and they send me a coupon to get a replacement.
- These headphones work as advertised with the best non-noticeable latency I\'ve ever experienced with studio level, wireless headphone. However, the W+ link can be glitchy at times (e.g., randomly disconnecting and reconnecting) and there is white noise. I personally don\'t mind the white noise, even for music production/monitoring. The sound is very balanced/flat, and comparable to the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X.As well, I had some manufacturing defect on some of the parts (e.g., screws not attached properly on headband and some left over plastic on the ear-cups).But my big issue with this product is not the product itself, but my experience with Amazon customer service. Two agents, on different days, promised that I\'d received a partial refund and that could keep the headphones because of the manufacturing defects. However, a week after this solution was promised to me, an Amazon Leadership manager nullified the offer. And now I\'m stuck with a great item with minor defects and a lack in trust with Amazon\'s promises.Anyways, bottom line, if you want/need studio wireless headphones for music production, monitoring and/or DJing look no further than the AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Wireless+.
- These headphones deliver on the promise of low-latency wireless audio, but with some significant annoyances.The most annoying thing is they often randomly beep and makes the connection sound again, when they haven\'t actually lost connection. I can still hear my audio the whole time, with the volume reduced while this is happening. I contacted support about it and they said it will be fixed in a future firmware update. I\'ll update my review if/when that happens.I also hate that I have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to turn the headphones on, and 3 seconds for the transmitter. It\'s just long enough to be annoying, and somehow the timing being different makes it feel more awkward.They\'re not my best-sounding headphones, nor my most comfortable headphones, and yes there is a noticeable background hiss when using the low latency wireless. But I\'ll still use them because low-latency wireless does make a big difference when you have too much gear in your studio to sit in one place all the time.
- I Have gone through plenty of wireless headphones they all have major latency as far as signal frm synthesizer to turntables or even tablet or laptop I have yet to notice any major drops with the aiaiai in short a must have for producers /Dj’s /movies/synthesizers the best part of the headphones aside frm super low if none latency is the fact that the parts on the head set are all replaceable unlike countless manufacturers that make a product and if it breaks you have to buy a brand new pair thanks AiAiAi for creating something awesome and Reusable for the coming years I’m sure when I leave earth someone will continue to use and love em can’t say that with any other headsets
