AIAIAI - TMA-2 Studio Wireless+

My most recent ones are AiAiAi Studio Pros. Wanted something more flat in response and had some coupons. When I am out in a noisey environment I have some Sony ANCs. If you want a cheaper option the Koss Porta Pros still sound pretty damn good and have that cool retro look.

After wasting a butt load of money on being a desperate audiophile slut: AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Headphones seem to tickle all my fancies. Unsolicited in-ear shout out to Audio Technicas ATH-CKS50TW's.

The AIAIAI studio headphones are on sale for $100USD right now. They may not be the "best" studio headphones (the Beyerdynamic suggested above are amazing but over the 100 price point), but since he's doing so much with them and playing live, they're fully modular so every single piece can be replaced if it breaks.

I think it's also highly dependent on which drivers you get, some are much worse than others. I've been generally happy with mine at least for DJing.

I use a pair of AIAIAI TMA-2 Studios while producing/writing/tweaking the creative mix, then I move to a pair of Sennheiser HD600s /w Sonarworks for more critical listening and mixing.

I've seriously got my eyes on the AIAIAI TMA-2 Wireless. By default they're on-ear but all their headphones are modular so you can swap the earcups for over-ear for just a few bucks. You can save a bunch if you don't need wireless, plus you can replace the headband later to make them wireless. I love that everything is modular. If anything breaks you can replace that one specific part.

i second this! i just upgraded to the wireless too, they’re great

Aiaiai tm- 2 best ive had. Ive had numerous sennheiser, pioneer, technics

Over ears go for AIAIAI

i agree with the iem recommendations. i live in the tropics, even the cables fall apart. nothing survives. before i went iems, i went tma2. because they were modular and replaceable. but the cables, band, and cushion covers fell apart. every year. the covers fell apart. if you get the alcantara bands those last longer than the leather ones only because the connecting cables have a cloth mesh covering. but i dont like the alcantara in my climate. i slowly started to swap out all my headphones with iems. havent regretted it yet. it’s been a year and only had to replace a cable so far.

I hear my Aiaiai TM2's just fine 🤷‍♂️. I have super sensitive hearing and just keep the headphones just over booth volume and it seems to work

Aiaiai TM2's with the bigger ear cups are fun and comfy. 🤷‍♂️
