i just had to replace the cable after two and half years and it was so nice spending 30 bucks instead of another 200-300 AUD. AiAiAi ftw.
Jono Chu
You can probably buy any ol 3.5mm aux cable
Yeah but can it run crysis
At 4k with max settings?
lord and savior gaben yes
lord and savior gaben sadly nothing can
crysis? it can run the sound and music
Airel Evan its a joke
I've always loved AIAIAI's design. If your a fan of minimalist design, these guys have got you covered. My TMA-2's don't have that overly bassy, somewhat manufactured sound like Bose or Beats. It sounds more flat which makes sense when your actually making music. Also, their warranty is good. My headband snapped after a year of use and I got it replaced free of charge.
Great review.. Finally someone else has heard of AiAiAi... I have had mine for over a year. And I love them! Worth every penny.
Linus once kissed me in a gas station bathroom
do you have aids
So... how was he?
Owl Mage glad to know thanks

I'd believe it tbh
In Canada, we use bags of milk.
Well if you live out east yes, Alberta/BC still in jugs... I miss my bags :(
my nuts holds a special kind of milk
in the uk too
wretch-ro The UK doesn't have milk bags you fucking tosser, GET OUT
wretch-ro YOUR PROOF IS RAWWWW
I didn't new you reviewed these! I'm in love with AIAIAI and their design and I actually own a TMA-1, which is actually backwards compatible to some of the new parts of the TMA-2. They've recently released their Wireless Headband, and also worked with Google to make an special version of that band that works with the Pixel 2's quick-sync feature, and a USB-Type C cable.
I like the round ear pads, the ones that engulf your ears.
theyre nice and soft too!
They're comfy and easy to wear!
Luke Raus I like shorts
Kim Jong-Un I like trains
Like wearing two baby butts on your head. Except instead of fart noises they make sweet music noises
You forgot to mention the Headbands are actually pretty flexible and I'd say indestructible. You can bend it all the way inside out, twist it, curl it, whatever and it'll flex right back. The Branded Fnatic TMA-2's also are the gamer's version. These have their drivers fine tuned to hear gunshot and footstep frequencies, as well as dampening explosion sound frequencies as this can prove distracting, and infact has a switch which allows you to select between gaming and music mode if you want your frequencies to be more natural; as well as two cords, one inline mic and one full boom mic which actually has decent sound quality. Now of course, since I work for Fnatic I might be a bit biased, however I do think these headphones are an amazing buy, and AIAIAI did a great job, and did gamers justice for the FNATIC branded ones.
I love the way you guys review items. this channel is one of the very very few in the lot that is real with its reviews and manages to pull it off without sounding very "strict" and thats what gives this channel its charm. i got into computers due to this channel! (the budget pc build from like 2ish years ago). keep it up LTT yall are beyond great!!!! 🦄🦄
I've used these for over about 18 months and they're really fantastic.
Initially had a Fools Gold edition set of TMA-1's but the head band was very brittle and snapped pretty quickly after purchasing. Aiaiai provided me with a voucher for their store though to purchase TMA-2 components as the replacement.
on the customisation site for the headphone, you can open a tab in the corner bottom left of the page which opens a meter. it shows how your headphone combination is mixed between treble, bass and mids.
Now modular phones. Wait...
Кирилл Ковалков No modular phone this time. only headphones....
Tech Tators d'aaawww
Кирилл Ковалков Too soon m8, too soon... Still stings
lg g5 is modular..
RankChef I want project ara
Why are Linus' hands ALWAYS BRIGHT ORANGE??
Ethan Hyma He fondles Trump.
Color correction
Too many cheetos
Pff ... RGB duuh!
he has asian kids
finally, i can see someone else talk about my phones! haha. i was going to buy their "top tier" speaker unit, but looking at the frequency response graph [very useful on the site] i found the "second best" had a flatter curve, so i went for that. the soundstage really is the widest i've heard in any closed-back unit, and even though they're not high-impedance enough that a phone or laptop can't drive them, they even do benefit from external DAC/amp units! just sounding.. 5-10% crisper. it's good.
hearing about the bluetooth headband is really cool too, i was just recently thinking that such a thing would be good, though i had envisaged a little nub that plugged into the 3.5mm input jack (which would therefore work for any phones with removable cables.)
either way, great thorough review! i naturally only have the parts i picked out and haven't swapped things around at all, so i was curious how those affected things.
Im using the aiaiai tracks for 2 years now. And they have the best sound for they're size. And they're super lightweight and also "modular" which means you can disassemble them and mix up colors or to replace broken parts. Would recommend for sure
I refuse to buy headphones without removable cords and pads. This is cool having that extra step.
*just get the newer stax electrostatic earspeakers*@
#LinusHeadphoneTips
I call massive hacks
This is impossible. How are these people commenting before the video comes out?
Magic Fool, well that or understanding the difference between Uploaded and Published on UA-cam and realizing a video can be uploaded and the Link shared somewhere for Private use prior to the video being made public by Publishing it.
NO Ninja, I don't even get UA-cam Notifications, they post the link to the video a few minutes (sometimes even a few hours) early to the FORUM, thats where I get the notification in my PC's Web Browser.
lol good one
Thanks Linus! Been always wondering what Aiaiai's modular headphones are!
I have a pair (TMA 2 all-around preset), I use them to DJ in bar. They sound a lot better (cleaner midrange and highs) than my previous Pioneer headphones, but I am definitely going to replace the earpads for the over-ear ones.
There are 4 ads on this video:
* The UA-cam preroll ad (or a banner at the bottom)
* The Keyboard ad
* The AIAIAI headphones ad
* The Crunchy Roll ad
Also, the fact that AIAIAI has been a sponsor of the channel does not fall into conflict of interest at all!
My perfect headphones: Audio Technica ATH-M40x's. THEY ARE AWESOME!
Wow, Linus. This was actually a pretty great review and roundup!
finally you cover these :)) my favorite
So if they assemble easily, does that mean they come apart easily? As in, accidentally?
nope. i've had mine for 2 years now. use em everyday. super durable. especially the headband... funny linus didnt mention anything about them or why they're called the TMAs. oh well.
I have a pair of my own as well and are very happy with them, but I don't believe I've ever seen advertised what TMA stands for. Care to enlighten me?
TMA got their name from the Tycho Magnetic Anomaly or TMA from 2001: A Space Odyssey. They pay homage to the monolith by following the sleek all black design.
Do you have a source for this information?
www.cnet.com/products/aiaiai-tma-1-professional-dj-monitoring/review/
They used to have it on their original site in the about section, but alas that is no more.
Im actually interested but i cant even access their website it just simply won't load
Ghassan Altarteer probably broken because all of the people trying to get some haha
Same thing happened last time a youtuber showcased their products. Their site cannot handle a lot of traffic. Wait a day or 2
Yeah, that has happened before after Linus releases a video on a particular product. Try in a couple of hours.
Ghassan Altarteer lol even when the video was only on floatplane, I had some trouble on chrome in Android, Samsung stock browser did a better job.
I'm also interested in this concept.
And I trusted Linus with the IE80s after viewing his review, and I cannot complain, love them, so I guess I can trust Linus in this one too.
Great video, I really like the sound of my TMA-1 headphones but they're pretty uncomfortable out of the box, kinda wish I had waited for their modular configs to get a softer headband (instead of having to line my headband with memory foam and yarn).
I'm currently really happy with my Astro A40 headset I bought a few years ago. Since I'm a gamer, I will probably stick to dedicated gaming headsets, but these do sound cool. Worth mentioning that the A40 has a bit of modularity to it, you can stick the microphone on either side or even neither, and you don't *need* to get it with the mixamp (as far as I remember, they sell it separately), but I highly recommend it for gaming if you're willing to set it up for voice chat, since it lets you adjust the volume between the voice and the game, though that only works for external programs that let you configure the output device (like Skype).
at that price might as well grab a sennheiser 598
DarkMaskElite truuuuue
I like the concept and the implementation. But I feel that any headphone manufacturer that doesn't give you the ability to try them for yourself, given how subjective headphones can be, basically shoots themselves in the foot, as it's damn near impossible to expect people to drop a decent chunk of money on something they have little way of knowing if they'll like.
Then again, a depressingly high amount of people are stupid, so here's to wishing AIAIAI the best. And if someone I know buys their headphones, I might try, like, and buy a set myself.
I guess it would be cool if they allowed you to get a sampler mailed out and if you don't return it - they charge your credit card... but that's just asking for trolls to pull a charge back.
Nice product, finally something that makes sense, I like modular stuff / easy to fix / upgrade
Would it be interesting if there was a site that provided "benchmarks" on headphone ergonomics? So, numbers like, clamping force vs head width, for each size setting on the headphone. Maybe another measurement saying how far your ears should be from the top of your head for each size setting (although head width also factors into that). Could also describe how soft the padding is by measuring force vs deflection when you push a small ball (finger-diameter) into it. Also need to check they have enough tilt and swivel to accommodate various head shapes. Kinda wish I could adjust my headphone's clamping force until it was just tight enough to create a decent seal around my ears, then have the band take the rest of the weight.
But can it run crysis?
Haha, good idea
Zach do the headphones have a 1080 in them? If so, yes.
Oh no... Mine doesn't have a 1080, it has a 1080 ti. )':
#FIREPOLE
never forget
Major McLaurin Brings back memories
Lol back when I made 5 twitch accounts to spam the WAN chat with #FirePoleOrWeRiot and the bot destroyed all of them.
You should have mentionned that they give you a graph that shows the frequency spectrum response of your configuration, taking into account the speaker units as well as the earpads. So they do offer more than just words to describe the sound.
the concept behind these are wonderful! I wish this would just become a standard for all headphone manufactures to do.
Where's scrapyard Wars, you said in the wan show that it will be up in days. It's been 3 weeks
If I remember right, UA-cam gets stuff 4 weeks later than Floatplane Club members.
One week.
I think you need to go back and listen closely. Luke clearly stated that we wouldn't see anything until summer.
They said, they were going to edit all the Scrapyard Wars footage into one full length video first, then they're going to split it up in parts after that. I would guess that we're still several weeks away from the premiere of this upcoming series.
hearing aid is not so expensive anymore, you might consider calling your doctor.
I need cookies
Mayban36 me too. Doesn't everyone?
yeah same
yay
Mayban36 just go on any website
okay i laughed with that one xD
Wow Linus this in this video i can see the effort you put in it I really appriciated it, also this is huge news for the headphones-market thank you for pointing it out to me.
AiAiAi's build quality is great, A car ran over my first pair TMA-2 original DJ (pre-modular) and they still worked and sound good.
Customer service was good too. Bought a 2nd pair (also pre-modular) and sadly the headband snapped. thankfully warranty covered it. They ended up upgrading me to the modular version.
Also just to be clear my first pair still work and my 2nd were the "Young Guru" pair. Didn't buy the 2nd pair cus my first died.
Also thanks for the video, I don't think I would have even know they were making a wireless headband without it. My 2nd-ish pair are still going strong. Never bothered to look at there site for a replacement.
"ai" here in Brazil is "ouch", so "aiaiai" is litterally "ouchouchouch" lol
br e foda
ayayay
BUY A SUBWOOFER AND PLUG IT ON YOUR EAR!!! DONE
3:38 that tracking, i'm impressed
I'd have loved to see a part of the video dedicated to atleast the different parts considering sound, explain how many different options you have considering only sound quality and maybe some sweetspot combo's between parts or some that make less sense.
basically how do they individually sound instead of an average of all options
TITAN XP review please :-)
Didnt he already post it? like 4 months ago?
You mean the XpP, or the XPp. Take your pick.
+Osama Rana Someone find whoever was responsible for naming these things and give them a firm slap to the side of their head. Then deliver a swift kick to the balls to whichever exec decided to release a card with better performance for significantly less than its predecessor only months later.
He means the Titan (XP)p
The name of the company sounds like there CEO just listen to *Brazilian porn* and come up with that name
I really love my bayerdynamic custom one pro. They work tremendously with my xonar DGX, and my huawei P8 lite. Great all rounders, great quality. Not too expensive :) But a fully modular option seems great :D
can we have a video about the difference between windows stock vs windows game mode now that is fully released?
The new B-roll style is making me oddly uncomfortable.
I see linus is trying to pull his male audience using female traps if you know what I mean.
"Pull his male audience"
Is that what the kids call it these days?
Nasty Nast exactly, all of the sudden he's including females
He hired the first female employee like 2 or 3 months back.
lolz. i agree. Some one named that blue hair girl RGB.
She thicc as fuck mang
Backed them in Kickstarter. I can't wait for them to arrive.
I like the concept of modularity, i got Plantronics rig 500e and i love em cos i can swap the parts when i want to , they sound pretty decent too for the price.. at least better than my old Sennheiser hd515(yeah i know, strange) :)
hey man, i recently got hired, to build some rigs for a VR simulator mall thingy. This is my first time building professionally and I was wondering if I could consult things with you if I ran into anything new along the process. I've never worked with any "top of the line" components, and am a little nervous.
mxeknbnr LTT forums.
If you've never worked with expensive computer components, a mall didn't hire you.
aww, lol you must be one of those poor souls who wonder youtube comment sections looking for a place to speak. you keep thinking like that little boy, and you're gonna die 5 minutes away from where you were born, with out ever making any contributions to the world.
It's one thing to be pretentious , but to have the audacity to call out some one you have never met, based on a pure hunch, well you're a special kind of stupid. I wont bother proving anything to you because well, you're you lol. Have fun pretending to know stuff for people who don't care.
SPEEDRT12 thanks man, been out of the building game for a while, my critical thinking isn't as critical as it should be. you should see some the questions i've made on facebook lol
What mall? cuz i know theres one at Woodfield Mall in Illinois.
$230 bucks for a headphone! shit it better make my music magical
darkshadow520 Beats by Dre would like to have a word with you
Yuberz ha I didn't even remember them compared to the other hundreds of companies that make good quality wireless headsets. I understand that it's modular yeah very nice, but still overpriced
Sennheiser h600s are about 300-400$.... 230$ is nothing. I have Beyerdynamic DT880s and those are 250$, and they were worth it.
+Law Kodi don't show him the price of lcd2 or hd800.
Law Kodi I still don't see the need for a $300-400 Headset with a bunch of features that you'll probably never use unless you're a record producer or something.
I'd be tempted to try them if they had open/semi-open designs... maybe it's in the pipeline, who knows...
Just a heads up, Plantronics already has one. I'm actually using it right now. The RIG 500. It's the lightest, and most comfortable headset I've used.
Thats like... 3/4 years old, I saw unbox therapy reviewing this a loooooong time ago
i and u are next to each other on the keyboard
chris08091 is that like a pickup line?
yeah but they got paid to do a video now so here you have it
pickup line... wtf lol
unbox therapy and his fake giveaways lmao
Warriors blew a 3-1 lead
those are awesome. got the tma1 for a little while now.
I wish the speakers could be tried before buying. I don't want the bass to stand out, so S01 could be the best for me, but without trying I can't tell. Modularity would be very good for me since I have to repeatedly buy new headphones when the cable breaks... It's pretty much always the fricking cable that fails me. In fact, right now I should buy new headphones since the cable is near dying...
Is this a pure advertisement channel?
Sorry i'm new.
Linus already disclosed this in an earlier video but basically: LMG keeps their sponsored content and reviews separate. Whenever it is sponsored content, it will be clearly marked so.
Even though LMG has been sponsored before by Aiaiai, this does not mean he will praise the product, and he has had complaints from companies about this fact before, however they responded with the fact that being honest to viewers is more important than a bit of advertising money, since being honest with viewers is what gets them the amount of viewers they have.
In short: This video is not an advertisement, and there is bad points to it like he mentioned: They aren't for audiophiles or people looking for expensive headsets with amazing quality, but a good pick for their price points, except for the entry level model.
If you're interested in how LMG makes money, they made a video about that. I think the series is called "honest answers."
I feel i would agree with it being more goofy and such recently, and less "useful" i guess (look at the blue iphone video) but i think this is simply a product of LMG being so young still. Recently they've been trying different things and seeing what sticks, what viewers like, what works and what doesn't. They started making funnier and more interesting thumbnails recently, too. I suppose that is why recently there's been more goof and less useful content. Personally i don't mind it as much, but i would hope most people prefer they useful content over goof, so there'll be more of it.
I'm sorry but this just feels like an advertisement show. One at the beginning, one at the end, and the video between too. I bet he does make a ton of money, but it just doesn't feel "youtubey" anymore.
Like I told another person with the same question - "He's a tech channel so I'd be willing to bet that most users are using Adblock or similar. And anyways, they aren't NEARLY as bad as other ads and at least he's honest about them, as in the 'handy tech under 100' series."
Mark Palnau why are people complaining about the almost free content? They have to pay for the $50,000 petabyte project somehow
What does Crunchyroll have to do with this channel?
Tibor Klein They have to make money somehow. UA-cam is a free service and they are a small media production company. You are new here, aren't you?
Audience.. plus LTT got money from ad space from Crunchyroll.
SPEEDERT12 nononono not small, but they still need to make money to run all these expensive operations.
Well. What would gambling advertisements be on news channels? Advertisers choose to advertise there.
Tibor Klein It's called making money... also Crunchyroll uses sound so it's relevant
Furthermore, Fnatic makes a headset called the Duel that is part of AIAIAI's modular ecosystem. If you plan on buying into AIAIAI's lineup for gaming, you should look into the Duel. It even comes with a boom mic that is part of a cable compatible with AIAIAI's lineup.
Patrick I know this comment is old but they also make a boom mic now for the same price, but you should probably be in their ecosystem to take advantage of it.
Sol Republic (A Beats competitor) did the exact same thing with headphones. I think they were 1st to the modularity game. I had their middle headphones and an upgraded headband and a longer cable. I think the only reason this video came out was for the sponsorship.
This entire video seemed super sponsored and kind of useless in terms of content.
K
Milan Patel well if anything it's just filler until scrapyard wars comes out
Well, I remember AiAiAi has been one of their sponsors a while back. Guess now they are actually doing a semi-review on them.
ince forever you can see it when he unboxed stuff that had been shipped in and they hadnt had time to get to yet this was at least 6 month probably close to a year ago. They have the newer microfiber headband though which just came out so they probably sent more stuff.
Well, 98& of all reviews are sponsored, they send their product(s) for free, and get a review, sometimes its good, but other times they get the "wrath" of linus. The only non sponsored reviews are when they buy stuff from amazon
33 views wooo
same
I got 40 :D
I think it would be a lot more useful in a store setting where you could actually test the variables. :(
I've got a set of Marshall headphones that I like, except they are a little tight for long term wearing.
Loved this era
lucky on the refresh squad!
CLG SHOULD HAVE WON , NOT FLYQUEST
TELLING YOU THE TRUTH
ITS SO SAD
Sparsh Maurya they had five games to win and they didn't though
Well, you do have a point ._.
But I wanted them to win so bad ;-;
CLG is bad tho
Modular headphones have been around for a while. I dont know if they still make headphones but SOL Republic made a bunch of modular headphones.
I would love it if manufactures would publish transient and frequency response charts for their products. Because you may have amazingly flat EQ, but then it takes 5ms for a 5khz signal to fully decay.
Linus should make a pc video with a 1080ti or titan xp with a pentium 3 or celeron D. Like if you agree!!!!
iCreativv zit wouldnt perform good because of the bottlenecking
Aus Es the fact that it exists is cool tho
Aus Es kinda guessing thats the whole point.
iCreativv the cpu would bottleneck the gpu so it wouldn't make sense to do that. you would get shitty performance
no point. just low fps. nothing interesting will happen.
Last time i came this early....

well at least you don't have to pay child support.
I've _never_ heard this before.
Let me finish that sentence for you..
I came
St0RM33 haha
As a proud owner of these headphone(I own the one from Fnatic+AIAIAI, to support my team). I'd say it sounds great. Not from a technical perspective but from a music enjoyment standpoint. IF you money to spear I'd suggest you to buy a set according to you music test and change it from there. If you are buying just one general headphone for everything you do Go for a HD598 for all-around and M50X for
And if you are one who buy headphones for a single purpose for each one, THIS is one way to go. Which save you a little space and some money. Well, then I assume money was not really your concern when you can buy multiple headphones..
And for durability. I have brought these on a road trip throwing them in and out of backpack multiples times and it stays solid and intact. The locking mechanism does a very good job. It's not as fragile as you may think. Also, I treated mine like a wallet, throwing them down on the table at home. It's not like im going to test its durability with a hammer. But for daily usage, definitely more than good enough.
It's plastic but its VERY light and does not feel cheap in hand. If you like 'minimalistic' design, This is one that does very well.
TLDR; It's a good headphone, It's solid, not the cheapest one for the same quality in the market. But it beats most, if not all gaming headphone(Headset I'd say). Try them before looking down at them.
Short of buying them all, how would you know which combination you would prefer if it's only available online?

My Senheiser XL earpads got terribly worn out because I often wear them directly after showering (meaning my ear and head is wet). Wish I could get another one just like that with the AIAIAI.
I like that the cable connecting the two speakers is a 3.5 mm cord. No more losing sound in one side and having to buy new headphones.
Early enough for a reply ?
will you ever give up these stupid mimic scenes that add nothing but cringe for mature viewers?
TheLiasas I like that you call yourself mature when you're not older than 12 y/o
It makes me giggle, so I can't complain.
I think they shouldnt get rid of it after all they showed themselves using the products in the past. They need to do it in a more natural way
Remember the cat ear headphones video?
There's no such thing as mature for Linus. Deal with it.
yes, but still the cringe levels could be lower
I really love the idea on this, so easy to swap a broken component
I have calculated that it will cost €1.270,- to buy all the parts and accessories (once) excluding the special parts that aren’t on the parts list/configurator. Now that is a collection of headphones.
An issue with the whole system is that I can’t just go to a real physical store to fit some different configurations to find out which I like and don’t like. (By that I am meaning the fit and mostly the sound.)
well you can, they have an store in london i believe
we can't make a good headphone so we'll just give you parts and see what happens....
I pity the early investors in this company lol. This shit is going nowhere
AiAiAi is a pretty successful company and a good number of top DJs use them...
GaLoS I agree that this isn't going anywhere but still the idea is great, if only this was a universal standard and companys could sell their headphone cups alone, you could have senheiser akg or what ever company you like all in what would be your best ear coushions and head bands
I pity consumers that don't get to enjoy products because they are so closed minded. lol
alcowherd7 touché! haha
RealNukerity oh there definitely is. But it is an option for those people that want a specific sound and a specific comfort level. Options are always good in a market known for high prices.
My only worry is that the plug in, into the headphones them selves will become loose over time. Why I always avoid any with that feature, rather have it knotted up inside the earcup so even if I snag it on something it'll probably be fine.
Shame they don't do a really small lead for use with the HTC Vive!
Also, as the input can be put into either side, can you daisy chain the headphones together? :D
I'm early, better make a joke.

I only watched the part that talks about the Headphones not the Ad
My favorite headset Ive ever owned was the G930... If you know anything about those you'll know almost all of them stop working after like 6 months. I had 5 friends and we all had the same headset; All of ours quit working. First they would stop charging, and second they would stop connecting wireless(plugging in the usb only charges, it's still a wireless connection.
The hyperx cloud was already flawless; it had an exended cable (if wanted), has amazing audio and best fit of any headphone (imo, and ive tried many many headphones).
Looks like low quality plastic garbage. You'll have to buy replacement parts every 6 months probably.
Frequency response is terrible too.
Joseph Thompson I am skeptical about the build too.
Yes, because the best way to judge a pair of headphones is by how they look
I own a pair. I actually got a pair of the TMA-1 which after almost two years, had the headband snap. I wrote AIAIAI, and they promptly said it was a known issue, and they proceeded to exchange my TMA-1s for a new pair of TMA-2s with the third level driver. The new headband is solid, and the plastic feel is as smooth and premium as plastic goes. So points for (new) build quality, but even more points for owning up to a manufactoring flaw, and upgrading my cans for free. As for the sound, these are not studio monitors, but great for office use. And the over ears effectively drowns out office noise. I'd say worth every penny. Especially for the rare high level customer service.
My headband snapped on my TMA-1 Young Guru Edition as well. I wrote to them, they had me send in the headset for inspection, and within a week I had a new TMA-2 Young Guru Edition. Got upgraded the rest because my old cord and earpads didn't fit on the new speaker unit, all for free. Best customer service I've ever experienced. #FlyAIAIAI #NotUnited
nah man, i'm 2 ... or is it 3 now? years in, and nothing's broke. they're actually made of fibreglass with a soft-touch coating, which means they're strong and flexible and light. when the tma-1s came out they demo'd getting twisted a bunch, stomped on, and water poured over them (to simulate high sweat levels), because they were initially designed for rough DJ-ing, which is why some tma-2 configurations are suitable for workouts too.
the tma-1s _were_ fragile in the headband region, like others had mentioned (could withstand tons of twisting, but not being pulled too wide, basically.) but they fixed it for the tma-2, and was obviously a design oversight since they were so durable in every other direction.
my tma-1 breakages (i had a couple, all the headband) happened before the tma-2 so i didn't get upgraded for free (though each time the headband broke i received a whole new tma-1 unit within a week), but i did get €100 discount on the 2 (basically half price for my config, over half price for more basic ones) for being a ~loyal customer~, and i was really glad for the over-ear cups, which weren't available on the 1.
i owned the aiaiai pipes (cmyk edition specifically) long before the tma series was a thing, and even though literally every kind of earbud phone i've owned has broken after 6 months, from any manufacturer, aiaiai were the only ones to replace them each and every time that happened, where other manufacturers would just give me some bs about "too much force applied to the cables" and not do anything. (maybe i _was_ killing them that way by threading them under my shirt, but the point is, aiaiai always sent me a new one, which has kept me very loyal, for going on 8 years now.)
so yeah, great customer service from day 1. though shipping to the americas is a bit pricey, but i don't live there.
oh god, the cringe
haHAA im 12 and this is cringe haHAA
Do you know what cringe means?
f 123 It's charming...

Dood, what are those wooden framed ones w/ the vents on the back? I've seen those in quite a few videos, but never caught their name.
this felt and sounded as an ad, like really really like an ad! and also was the review about this lineup of modular headphones or modular headphones in general?
So many choices! Black with black and small or large, how interesting !!!
Have a pair of AIAIAI's that I've worn daily for 3-4 years. Very sturdy and very good sound for the price.
What is that rubber part on the back of my computer? It's got this oval shape right above the graphics card and are holed out to put stuff through it. (My first though was that it could be able to connected to another gpu or something)
Linus can you plz review their new wireless headband, the h05?
