There is no shortage of items out there to improve your experience of collecting and listening to records – whether you’re a seasoned head, or a newly-initiated fanatic.
From stocking fillers like headphone jacks and stylus cleaners, to larger items like camping-inspired record bags, turntables, DJ set-ups, and speakers, The Vinyl Factory have picked out ideas across a range of prices from £2 to £2000 that the music lover in your life will adore, including of course AIAIAI’s TMA-2 Studio Headphones
“AIAIAI unveiled a new edition of its TMA-2 Studio Headphones this year – combining what are assuredly the most joyfully comfortable earpads going at this price point with its sustainable modular design, and crystalline sound. Thanks to its bio-cellulose speaker drivers, the TMA-2 Studio Headphones carry full and rich sounds in lows, mids and highs. (These are tried and tested across genres, listening to music for 8+ hours at a time.) The modular design also allows you to upgrade each part as and when necessary, rather than throwing the entire headphone away when you want a new pair. Well worth the price point if you get the full package, which includes the exceptionally pillow-y Alcantra ear pads. As with all of AIAIAI’s modular offerings, you can also build it yourself, exactly to your liking. Those seeking a lower price point can also try the lightweight Studio XEs instead”
