AIAIAI Popular Headphones TMA-2 DJ and TMA-2 DJ XE In-Depth Comparison

The popular TMA-2 Series headphones are produced by the audio brand established in Denmark, AIAIAI. Among them, the TMA-2 DJ and TMA-2 DJ XE are positioned as AIAIAI’s standard models.

They may look similar, but the sound quality and features are of course different. Many people reading this article are probably wondering which headphone to choose. This article details the differences between the TMA-2 DJ and the TMA-2 DJ XE, as well as examples of their use.

　TMA-2 DJ　

S02MKII Speaker Unit

First is the TMA-2 DJ, a standard model in the AIAIAI TMA-2 Series. The speaker unit, which is the key to the sound, uses the S02MKII, which features powerful bass reproduction for accurate DJ monitoring and a crisp, punchy sound. The S02MKII is equipped with a diaphragm made of bio-cellulose that excels in rigidity and delivers clear sound without distortion even at high volumes. It enables accurate monitoring even in loud environments such as clubs and live houses.

H02 Headband

The H02 headband is lined with silicone for durability and resistance to twisting and turning, and is designed to withstand the rough and tumble of the DJ booth, while still providing a comfortable fit for extended periods of wear.

C02 Coiled Cable

The C02 coiled cable is 1.5 meters long (3 meters at its longest). The coiled cable is stretchable to prevent the plug from getting pulled out when it is tugged on. Also, since the cable does not pile up on the floor, there is no chance of accidentally stepping on it or getting a foot caught on it, so this makes it safe to use in production.

　TMA-2 DJ XE　

Next, let’s take a closer look at the features of the TMA-2 DJ XE.

S01MKII Speaker Unit

The TMA-2 DJ XE is the headphone of the TMA-2 Series recommended for those seeking a balanced sound from low to high frequencies. The sound character is monitor headphone-like, so the sound is neutral and faithful to the original sound. The S01MKII speaker unit provides excellent resolution that reproduces even the most subtle sounds, creating a listening experience that is easy to monitor from low to high frequencies. This unit is ideal for recording and home studio work.

H01 Headband

The H01 headband is covered in lightweight, comfortable foam, and is even lighter than the TMA-2 DJ, making it suitable for long hours of listening.

C05 Straight Cable

The C05 cable is a 1.5 meter straight cable. It is highly flexible, making it compact and easy to carry. It is ideal for use on the go or in confined spaces.

E02 Earpads

Both TMA-2 DJ and TMA-2 DJ XE models are equipped with E02 earpads that incorporate PU leather. They provide excellent sound insulation and wearing comfort, and are less susceptible to ambient sound, creating a comfortable listening environment.
