Everything from toothbrushes to toilets have gone wireless, but for some reason, DJs have remained tethered to their equipment like dogs leashed to a post as squirrels saunter by. AIAIAI’s new TMA-2 DJ Wireless headphones break those chains with what the Danish audio company boldly claims are “the first-ever headphones designed for true wireless DJing.”
The skeptic in us approached with caution, since true wireless DJing has been a persevering albatross in the audio tech world. But the unit’s ultra-low latency connection (sub-10ms) delivers on its promise.
AIAIAI’s breakthrough headphones deliver uncompressed audio through their proprietary W+ Link technology. The system uses the brand’s X03 transmitter, which connects to a DJ mixer via 3.5mm TRS or USB-C and wirelessly beams audio into the headphone unit.

Beat-matching feels just as responsive as wired alternatives, without that millisecond lag that turns mixing into a frustrating game of audio catch-up. You can also tune the frequency response with predefined sound profiles or a custom five-band EQ, but you’ll have to download the AIAIAI mobile app.

The headphones also eliminate battery anxiety with a 25-hour runtime, which means they can outlast even those Red Bull-vodka-fueled marathon club nights at Space Miami. The familiar TMA-2 build quality remains intact too, and it’s as comfortable as ever.
What’s particularly refreshing is AIAIAI’s modular approach. Current TMA-2 owners can simply upgrade their speaker units rather than contributing another complete headset to the electronics graveyard. True to form for the renowned music tech company, it’s true sustainability that doesn’t feel like a marketing checkbox.
For professional DJs, going wireless has always been like switching to decaf: technically possible but fundamentally compromised. But the TMA-2 DJ Wireless is the rare tech product that removes a genuine limitation rather than solving a problem nobody had.
The TMA-2 DJ Wireless is available for €300 on AIAIAI’s website.
