AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless Headphones claim to be the world’s first wireless headphones. Dancing DJs, go nuts!
AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless Headphones
Danish headphone company AIAIAI has announced the TMA-2 DJ Wireless, the latest in its DJ series of headphones and what it’s calling the “world’s first wireless DJ headphones.”
Whereas most wireless headphones transmit audio via Bluetooth, which is latency-prone, the AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless use W+ Link, a proprietary system for “ultra-low latency,” according to the company. AIAIAI is claiming latency of less than 10ms as compared to 250ms for Bluetooth. This is the same technology that’s in the company’s TMA-2 Studio Wireless+ headphones and Unit-4 monitors. To use the headphones, plug the X03 W+ Link transmitter into the headphone jack on the mixer.
You can also switch to Bluetooth for regular listening or other situations when low latency is not required.
Battery Life and Durability
AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless headphones are of course battery powered, with a promised 25 hours of battery life per charge.
At 217g, the headphones are lightweight yet durable, twisting to fit on the DJ’s neck and around their head.
As with other AIAIAI cans, the TMA-2 DJ Wireless headphones are modular, allowing for customization, upgrades and parts replacement.
Sound Quality
AIAIAI has engineered the new headphones with a 40mm bio-cellulose diaphragm and tuned them to present bass and treble details in loud venues. There’s an app EQ to fine-tune the response curve as well.
Price and Availability
Do you really need wireless headphones in the DJ booth? That depends on how active of a DJ you are. I myself was known for dancing behind the decks and I don’t know how many times I stepped on the cord, snapping the headphones off my face. If I had had wireless cans, that would not have been a problem. So I’m obviously looking forward to trying these out.
AIAIAI plans to make these available in early 2025 at a price of $280.
