I've been testing this pair of modular headphones — and it could be the future of audio

AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Wireless on stand in living room.

As with many tech products, the best wireless headphones currently live in a kind of environmental limbo. They’re not going to last forever thanks to the inevitable death of their batteries, or the degradation of their internal electronics. Then once they’re dead and unusable, they go in the trash. They become e-waste, ready to travel the seven seas without bio-degrading because they’re made out of plastic, precious metals, and various different kinds of resin.

What if, though, this wasn’t a problem? If you didn’t have to worry about your headphones dying, if you could replace the various parts when they go bad? That you could get those bits recycled when they’re done, and you get new ones to replace them? DJ and mixing headphone manufacturer AIAIAI have just the ticket — and they’re very, very interesting.
