Cassette-Compatible Headphones

AIAIAI and Brain Dead Co-Created the TMA-2 Modular Headphone System

— February 12, 2018 — Art & Design
AIAIAI and Brain Dead joined forces to create the limited TMA-2 Modular Headphone System. The collaborative product consists of a headphone preset modeled on ideal listening instructions by Brain Dead, with a new cassette by 2Up, a Japanese noise rock two-piece. The system is also preset with 100 different headphone combinations.

The TMA-2 Modular Headphone System operates by having the Brain Dead headphones reach out through the AIAIAI preset modular system. It enables a detailed mid to high audio to express lo-fi presentation. The captivating artwork that is used on the product's packaging is designed by Brain Dead, resembling the brand's aesthetics and the music curation concept of a "Psycho Sound System." The TMA-2 Modular Headphone System is exclusively available at the Dover Street Market.
