Studio headphones

Studio headphones with in-line mic & controller

Review: The TMA-1 Studio headphones are AIAIAI's latest professional cans especially designed for the studio. The Copenhagen-based design collective had lengthy sessions in mind when they consulted with musicians, producers and engineers. They were looking to create a more referenced sound and enhanced comfort with the response and durability of the TMA-1, with an adjusted EQ curve to adapt the original's for use in the studio. They chose an over-the-ear design that increases comfort, especially appreciated when used for long periods of time.

The newly introduced TMA-1 Studio's feature several differences which help them excel in the world of production.

The Studios shun portability for comfort, appearing significantly bulkier than the vanilla TMA-1's. Featuring circumaural ears pads that fit around the ear and extra headband padding, the Studio's are comfortable even when worn for long periods of time - perfect for that all day studio session.

Under the hood AIAIAI have also tweaked the drivers themselves, giving the Studios a flatter, producer-friendly frequency response - and making them more delicately balanced then the slightly bass heavy TMA-1's.

The result is one of the clearest, most comfortable listening experiences available, with the protein based circumaural cups preserving rich highs, mids and lows whilst blocking all unwanted noise. Although not the most detailed cans at their price range, the overall package of sound, style and build quality make the Studio's hard to beat.
