Redefining wireless transmission

The TMA-2 Studio Wireless+ is a dynamic over-ear headset that employs the manufacturer’s proprietary W+ Link wireless technology, which allows lossless audio transmission with low latency and thus makes this headset ideal for use in the field of music production. Additionally, the Studio Wireless+ can be used in the conventional way via cable connection and via Bluetooth as a mobile headset. The same high-quality S05MKII dynamic drivers that have already proven themselves elsewhere in the TMA-2 series, which have a diameter of 40 mm and feature bio-cellulose diaphragms, have also been integrated here. The headset also features an H10 headband with an integrated receiver as well as E08 ear cushions with Alcantara covering, and comes complete with the corresponding X01 transmitter. The scope of delivery also includes a coiled 1.5-metre audio cable and a protective case.

A new level of freedom

In the recording studio, headphones are an indispensable tool – but more often than not, they are tethered to a cable. The TMA-2 Wireless+ takes a different route, however: Cable connection (though still possible) is replaced by a robust, uncompressed wireless connection with a constantly low latency of just 16 ms. This makes the headset’s operating radius larger and significantly more practical. When used on the go, the Wireless+ can be operated via Bluetooth and controlled using the three buttons on the headband, and it offers up to 80 hours of battery power. To ensure a resonant and distortion-free sound, AIAIAI has equipped the Wireless+ with the dynamic 40 mm drivers from its TMA-2 series, which feature rigid and lightweight diaphragms made from bio-cellulose. The wireless connection can generate sound pressure levels of up to 115 dB, allowing it to fulfil higher volume requirements like those encountered in recording environments.

For musicians and music lovers

The TMA-2 Studio Wireless+ is aimed at quality-conscious musicians who want to be able to work without being confined to the limits of a cable connection. The dedicated X01 transmitter, which can be connected to the desired signal source using a cable with a 3.5 mm jack connector, provides a stable and compression-free wireless connection with CD-quality band width and a constantly low latency of 16 ms. The corresponding receiver is integrated into the headband and features three remote control buttons. Because the receiver additionally supports Bluetooth 5.0, the TMA-2 Studio Wireless+ can also be used to enjoy your favourite music when you are on the go. Conversely, the coiled cable included in the scope of delivery allows the Studio Wireless+ to be used in conventional applications as a fully passive headset, no charging procedure necessary.

About AIAIAI

The Danish company AIAIAI was founded in 2006 and produces headphones exclusively. Instead of offering a wide variety of different headphone models, Aiaiai has developed a modular approach, by which components are individually selected in order to create a final, customised product. To this end, AIAIAI has an online configurator which tailors each pair of headphones to the customer’s specifications. However, the idea is not only to create personalised headphones but also to ensure their sustainability. Instead of the user having to purchase a completely new pair of headphones if a defect occurs or if their application or sonic expectations change, AIAIAI offers its customers replacement, retrofit, and upgrade parts.

More freedom to move

A cable is often a hindrance when moving between your instruments or around the mixing room – and a cable connection also has its downsides when recording outdoors or when mixing monitor or FOH sound, either. With W+ Link, AIAIAI offers an alternative in the form of a wireless connection that provides a stable transmission combined with compression-free sound reproduction and low latency. Alternatively, the TMA-2 Wireless+ can be used with a coiled cable, which is the sensible solution in applications where timing is critical. Thanks to its Bluetooth functionality, this headset also provides an enjoyable listening experience whenever you are on the move, with an impressive 80 hours’ runtime on battery power. The sonic basis is AIAIAI’s proven TMA-2 design, which has enjoyed immense popularity with musicians, producers, and DJs since its market launch. Users of wired devices can even retrofit the H10 headband and the X01 transmitter if needed.

In the spotlight: W+ Link

W+ Link was developed by AIAIAI in response to the demand for a sonically high-quality wireless transmission system that operates with dual antennas for enhanced stability. Unlike the multi-functional Bluetooth protocol, this solution utilises a dedicated constant transmission frequency with which a latency of just 16 ms can be achieved. This value is significantly below that of all Bluetooth codecs, including aptX LL. At the same time, the data transmission rate can reach 1,500 kBps and thus corresponds to CD-standard quality – which will satisfy even high expectations and also surpasses even the LDAC codec. What is more, W+ Link eliminates technical compression and decompression from the signal path in order to maintain the quality of the sound.

Low latency with no alternative
yannik131 04.10.2022
If you need headphones with low latency (i. e. for playing guitar without cables) that can also be used as normal headphones for gaming, watching videos or having online meetings, then I don't think there are that many alternatives. Pros:
- Ultra long battery life
- Supports 2,4Ghz, bluetooth and cable transmission
- Low latency 2,4Ghz transmission is perfect for playing instruments without cables
- Modular, replacing broken parts will be easy
- Pretty comfortable
- Clear, neutral sound: No humming, no imbalance. Good sound quality

Cons:
- Controls are annoying: On/Off button on 2,4GHz receiver and headphones needs to be pressed for 6s to boot, 3s to shut down
- Bluetooth: Device shuts down after ~5 minutes without transmission. This can't be turned off
- The speakers are obviously wired in series - a low voltage input from my laptop or piano results in one speaker being too quiet
- Bluetooth driver issues on Windows and Linux. I haven't figured out yet how to have a conference with these headphones,. Works fine on Mac though

Overall: If you're not a musician, this is probably not for you. If you are, look forward to playing with headphones and NO CABLE MADNESS!

Wireless and great sound
Michael Pr 03.03.2022
Great headphones with a lot of flexibility. The battery life in wireless+ and bluetooth is more than enough for several long sessions, and there is alway the backup option of the cable. In wireless+ mode I could not notice the latency, even while using for scratching! Sound is perfect!

Freedom while live-streaming
Nekayah 13.01.2024
I bought them for one purpose, to use while streaming live music on Twitch. I've had them for 2 and a half months now.

They are quite pricey. They deliver what I bought them for, but for the money I would have hoped for better sound. But in terms of low-latency live music creation, there is no competitor.

The only alternative is a combination of wireless IEM system and in-ear headphones used on stage. That combination is close to the price of these headphones, and you still have cables from your ears to the receiver which you have to attach to yourself. These are just headphones you put on and off, no cables. Saves me a lot of hassle when I take a bathroom break while streaming for hours.

The feeling of freedom from cables is unprecedented. I can move around, switch instruments with ease, and no longer have a cable around my body. I love it!!!

I create music with lots of live looping with Boss RC-505. The headphone transmitter is plugged into the headphone jack of Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 for monitoring. I haven't noticed any latency problems. In this regard the headphones are perfect.

However, I was disappointed with the sound. I checked and my modular pieces are the highest quality they offer. I was going to buy an upgrade if they offered one!

I had these Lewitz HP710 headphones before, and they delivered a much larger soundstage and more volume. I had gotten used to a particular way my voice sounded in my ears when singing. It had more depth and detail, and it allowed me better vocal control. In comparison, the AIAIAI were small, quiet and I was barely able to register what's going on. It was a huge uncomfortable adjustment that took me a while. I always have to keep the monitoring volume high.

Now that I've gotten used to them, it's fine. I can sing without discomfort. But it makes me wonder what I am losing out on, and for this price that's a disappointment.

There's the possibility that my previous headphones were too loud and I think it might've been affecting some hearing loss (ringing in ears after use). So in that regard maybe this is a good change.

They are quite comfortable to wear for hours. Even more comfortable than my Valco VMK25 (but with worse sound and no ANC). Battery life is also decent.

I would still recommend these for live streaming use, even with my complaints about sound and price. Freedom from cables is just so good. I wish they'd offer upgrades for better sound.

A step forward
Christem 27.02.2022
The aiaiai is a wireless headphone which provides two different types of connections. That’s also the reason why I decided to buy them. It’s my first Bluetooth headphone. My concerns regarding Bluetooth and the limited sound quality has been reassured. They are good with Bluetooth but switching to the wireless is a great improvement especially if one uses lossless audio files. However, the Bluetooth is fully digital which means there is no background noise from the analog electronics (or only little). The wireless mode on the other hand, is digital to analog to digital and then analog again. The background noise from this depending on the output device is quite high. That’s a little bit disappointing because I believe easy to avoid. I hope they will come up with a better solution. Overall, the wireless+ is still much better then Bluetooth. The build quality is okay but not great. Information about battery level is a bit limited for the headphone.
