The TMA-2 are modular headphones, devised by Danish audio design firm AIAIAI, that come with swappable components that users can remove and replace per their choice. For example, users can remove existing drivers and fit in new ones, or change headbands, ear-pads or even the cables.
These headphones offer customers an incredible 360 configuration combinations. New customers will be able to choose from four pre-configured designs or go online and select a custom setup from the available options. If a component becomes defective over time, the customer can switch up the setup.
While there are other headphones that are claimed to be modular, the TMA-2s are the first ones that well and truly live up to the tag. The ability to upgrade components and change the look of the headphones will surely appeal to easily bored audiophiles.
