AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Wireless+ Ultra Low Latency Wireless Studio Monitor Headphones, Black

These are great wireless studio headphones I use out of my mixer. I'm a guitar player and these give me freedom of movement in the studio. Before I was I felt like I was on a chain. They sound really good too......I was using open backs before these so the sound is different, but I quickly got used to the different........lows, mids, and highs are balanced so don't expect booming bass or high end grit......they deliver what you put in them accurately. And they don't distort at high level . A little tight but that will come around in time.

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.

Love the freedom to move around and there is no audible latency! They feel great and they sound great as well

Muchas expectativas frente a este producto, me gustó la comodidad, calidad de sonido, baja latencia, acabado.Pero increíble que unos audífonos de este precio , fama y marca, tengan tan poquita potencia, en el cel es difícil de escuchar la música si tienes mucho ruido en la calle, con los earphones u otros auriculares para dj o estudio eso no sucede ej V- Moda, sennheiser etc. Cuándo exiges a los AIAIAI TMA2 se distorsionan horrible y pareciera que se fueran a reventar los parlantes. Tenía mucha expectativa pero la realidad me decepciono. Son mucho mejores los alambricos, ya que he podido probar los de un amigo. Sres de AIAIAI trabajen pronto en un mejor desarrollo teniendo en cuenta las observaciones ya que la idea es buena.

I bought these for a wireless guitar practice setup, as the headphones wires are annoying and one can't always be too loud in a house with other people around.I was very pleased to have found this model, and that it specifically targeted a low-latency use case. You see, usually wireless headphones are using bluetooth protocol and that often adds a very perceivable latency, making it impossible to use when playing an instrument.Unfortunately they didn't live up to the expectations. The latency in 2.4GHz mode is just fine, but everything else was not.Being positioned as "Studio" headphones targeted at "Music Creators" I expected them to produce a clear crisp sound. Not too loud, no bass boost, usually present on many consumer headphones, but plain clear, flat, even sound. Unfortunately this was not even remotely the case. While the bass does sound kind of OKish, everything above that is a muddy mess. I couldn't believe the difference between these and a pair of cheapo wired studio monitor headphones I have, for like 1/10 of the price of these. The cheapo ones deliver ten times the sound fidelity.The muddy sound persists in all modes of operation, be it 2.4GHz, Bluetooth or wired.I'm returning them.
