Danish audio company AIAIAI have always found a way to combine style and functionality, and their new released product the TMA-1 headphones are no exception. With the help of sister company Teenage Engineering these adorable primary-syled headphones simplify the art of audio gadgets.
These headphones are actually a pairing of Teenage Engineering's OP-1 synthesizer, which is colored in the same way as these headphones. And because the labels match the synthesizer, it allows the user to better see how to use them. Of course, even without the synthesizer these headphones are great on their own. The TMA-1 headphones have labels on each pair of headphones that mark 'left' and 'right,' making this a very user-friendly pair of earphones.
