AIAIAI and Brain Dead introduce custom versions of the TRACKS headphones and UNIT 4 speakers with updated colours and printed finishes. The TRACKS model keeps its lightweight on-ear format with 40 mm drivers and a flexible headband, and the modular parts system allows ear pads and cables to be replaced as needed. The UNIT 4 speaker uses a compact enclosure with an internal battery, wireless connectivity, and a front steel grille designed for balanced output. Both products receive a graphic treatment that aligns with Brain Dead’s visual style while preserving the core technical specifications.
AIAIAI and Brain Dead focus on merging functional audio hardware with a collectible design approach. The headphones remain suitable for daily listening and portable setups, and the speaker provides room-level sound in a small footprint. Materials are selected for durability so the printed surfaces do not compromise handling or performance. AIAIAI Co-Founder, Frederik Jørgensen, notes in a statement, “Collaborating with Brain Dead always sparks something new—there’s a shared belief in challenging conventions and staying true to creative identity. This continued partnership celebrates that freedom and the communities that inspire it.”
