Building durable products
AIAIAI has prided itself in top quality gear since its launch in 2006. It aims to break down technical, cultural, and creative barriers in the music industry. Among its equipment, designed for work in the studio or on the go, its brand new TMA-2 DJ Wireless headphones take mixing music to a new level. These headphones have a lightweight but sturdy design that helps them survive all elements. It’s also super comfortable when wearing out and about and bendable while retaining their shape.
AIAIAI’s forward-thinking engineering team has spent years perfecting the wireless technology. They’ve now pushed the latency below the perceptive threshold of 10ms. This means that your music is less likely to lag behind and keep up with you as you queue up and blend tracks. This ultra-low latency wireless connection ensures that you can free yourself from cables dangling from your headphones when you’re DJing and still retain that high quality sound. As a result, wireless DJing is now finally possible.
The TMA-2s also have an extended battery life of 25 hours. They emphasise bass and treble in even the loudest of venues. All while blocking out any unwanted noise. They ensure that you can have a seamless DJ set.
Protecting the environment with responsible design and packaging
As well as innovating on a technological level, AIAIAI strives to be environmentally friendly. The new TMA-2 DJ Wireless follows an initiative they introduced in 2020 in which all of their products are made of materials that are recycled and recyclable. All plastics are made from 100% recycled plastics, and all paper used is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This indicates they were responsibly sourced. The TMA-2s’ sleeve carries the Nordic Ecolabel, signifying its eco-friendly nature. It’s also Cradle-to-Cradle certified, meaning it is CO2 neutral, produced using 100% wind energy and made with circular and compostable materials.
AIAIAI’s emphasis on design means that you can customize your own pair of headphones with ease. Its long list of features spanning speaker units, earbuds, headband and accessories means you can find the perfect set that suits your preferences. The brand also enables you to upgrade on, trade in and refurbish your headphones for others to buy used. In exchange for your used products, AIAIAI gives you store credit to buy either new or used items on their website. Current users of the TMA-2 headphone system can order an Upgrade Kit consisting of the new wireless speaker units and a transmitter while having the exact same experience. They reuse all the other parts of their headphones and this generates less waste. As a result, you can enjoy your headphones knowing that they have been built with the environment in mind.
Bringing the community together
While building durable products, AIAIAI shines a bright light on the artists and people that form their close-knit community. With worldwide programming, the brand invites fans and music heads to learn about DJing, music making and how to upskill. In November, it collaborated with The Lot Radio for The Sound of Community showcase. They invited Los Angeles’ finest DJs to take over its LA space for three days of music and connection. AIAIAI make great use of this space and have hosted musicians like Kaelin Ellis, production brands like Serato and platforms like Noise Engineering for a host of workshops, listening sessions, discussions and more.
Over in London, AIAIAI collaborated with the amazing DJ and producer SHERELLE and her BEAUTIFUL record label to open up a studio and community space for Black and LGBTQI+ artists. Musicians in the studio can record music and conceive ideas without needing to worry about creative or financial constraints. In March 2024, the producer and musician HAAi hosted a music production workshop in collaboration with AIAIAI and BEAUTIFUL. She revealed her creative process to young producers in the making while uplifting emerging talent.
AIAIAI launched its sponsorship program in 2024 which seeks to offer funding product support to individuals, collectives and organizations. That way, creators can make music without any barriers and seek further inspiration and education along their journey. This is in line with AIAIAI’s mission to empower their community and give them the tools to succeed, building and sustaining their skills for the long term.
