AIAIAI claims sub-10ms latency wireless for DJs

AIAIAI is bringing the TMA-2 DJ Wireless to market with a proprietary W+ Link system that promises sub-10 ms latency over a dedicated 2.4 GHz connection—low enough, the company argues, to make wireless beatmatching viable in the booth.[2] The system pairs 40 mm bio-cellulose drivers with a battery-powered transmitter that plugs into a mixer's headphone jack, sidestepping Bluetooth's inherent sync delays.[2][5] (Original source)

Priced around £250 / $280 / €300 and slated to ship from April 2025, the on-ear design delivers 20+ hours of playback in W+ mode and switches to Bluetooth 5.3 for casual listening.[2] Modular construction allows swaps across the existing TMA-2 ecosystem, and a five-band EQ app lets DJs tune response curves for different rooms.[2] The launch arrives weeks after AlphaTheta introduced its own ultra-low-latency HDJ-F10, signalling that the wireless DJ headphone category is now contested ground.

Modular build, dual-mode connectivity, 20-hour battery

The TMA-2 DJ Wireless delivers 20-plus hours of playback in W+ Link mode, doubling to 40 hours when switching to Bluetooth for commutes or casual listening between gigs.[2] AIAIAI's modular platform means every component—headband, cushions, drivers, cables—is swappable and user-replaceable, extending service life and letting DJs dial in preferred isolation or driver characteristics from the wider TMA-2 ecosystem.[2]

The headphones operate in three modes: ultra-low-latency W+ Link for booth work, Bluetooth 5.3 for mobile use, and wired connection via the included cable and quarter-inch adapter.[2] On-ear memory-foam cushions aim for high isolation in loud venues, while the bio-cellulose diaphragms target reduced distortion and a bass-forward profile tuned for club sound-pressure levels.[2] Pricing sits at approximately £250 / $280 / €300, with an April 2025 availability window.[2] (Comparison of TMA-2 DJ Wireless, Studio Wireless and ... - aiaiai)

Wireless booth war heats up against AlphaTheta

The TMA-2 DJ Wireless enters a market where AlphaTheta's HDJ-F10 arrived just weeks earlier with its own proprietary SonicLink protocol, turning booth connectivity into a two-horse race. (AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless Modular Headphones - Perfect Circuit) Both systems bypass Bluetooth's inherent lag—AIAIAI quotes sub-10 ms latency via its W+ Link transmitter, a figure that places it within the perceptual threshold for tight beatmatching on professional monitoring tasks. The transmitter itself draws power from an internal battery rather than bus power, ensuring stable operation across varying mixer output levels. At £250 / $280 / €300, the TMA-2 DJ Wireless undercuts Pioneer DJ's flagship wired models while adding dual-mode flexibility for DJs who want one pair for booth and commute.
