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

I used these for about 2 months, while DJ-ing, Sampling on my MPC and mixing with Logic.These are my findings:Pros:- Very comfortable headphones. Great design allows the headphones to be very balanced on the head and surprisingly light. After 2+ hours of continuous use they haven't got uncomfortable.- The Alcantara ear cushions are the most comfortable pads I ever had.- Wireless mode with really low latency. Mobility is the biggest PRO for me. Walking around my studio / house while working on a song is just neat.- Modular design allows you to swap parts very easy. Any part of these headphones can be swapped.- Great build quality. Love the materials, love the accessories. They come with a very high quality coiled headphone cable in case you need it (make them loud)- Decent sound. Not the greatest but decent enough. It sounds (to me) that there are some mid freq. missing. It might be me.- Flat sound (which I love)Cons:- Wireless transmitter signal tends to be weak. In Wireless+ mode the headphones will start clipping on medium volume.This could be a PRO, high sound volume will get you tired very quick and could also damage your hearing on the long term, however if you plan using those in the airplane on Wireless+ mode, they might be to quiet to overcome the cabin noise. Once you plug them by cable, they're loud enough.- Both headphones and wireless transmitter have batteries so you have to charge both separately. It's supposed to work like that but it is inconvenient, especially if, you forget charging one (happened to me).- Decent sound but not the greatest. For sampling, chopping and layering I think these headphones sound is decent. For mixing, I would go for something else.Should you buy?It depends.- If you need a decent/on the budget all around Headphones for layering, but you don't care about the Wireless+ function, then these TMA-2 SW+ are not it.- If you need an over the ear all around Bluetooth headphones for daily use, you should not care about the low latency wireless connection which means that these TMA-2 SW+ are not it.- If you need a Studio Headphone for long sessions, good at sampling, layering, creating sounds, basic mixing and also love the fact that you can move around without being glued to the desk because of a wire, the Wireless+ function & most importantly the under 16ms latency offered by the TMA-2 SW+ is exactly what you need.I wish tho' they would be a bit louder, like 50% louder.

The frequency response was quite flat and reference. However, for mixing and live recording, the delay made the headphones impossible to use.

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.

AIAIAI top of the line for me. I used wired headphones for years and bought two high quality bluetooth headphones, but the delay made it impossible to use when recording live. So then went back to wired headphones. When searching for a fix for the delay problem I found someone who did a positive review of the TMA-2 Studio Wireless+. Ordered them and got them in three days expecting to return them. But no, they are great. The headphones work perfect, the sound is good and now I get more work done comfortably. Have wires hanging down can pull things off the mount or desk. They come disassembled neatly package that takes 2 minutes to put together. As you assemble them you will understand the engineering quality. This company made these to be taken apart to replace anything that could get damaged in time so you can replace just that part. Yes, they have parts listed that you can buy. The build quality is of the highest standard and shows that it's about the customer and not just making a profit. Battery life is great. I will buy the next generation that they come out with. They say you can trade up, but I think I would keep the old set too.
