Okay, there is no headphone company out there that is more with it than AiAiAi. There are a few headphones out there now that are clear homages to skinny, minimal old school Walkman headphones: Koss Portapro, WeSC Pick-Ups – and of course there are also the authenticists I’ve seen around that rock the actual Walkman headphones. AiAiAi schools all of those guys and takes sound+design+pizazz to the next level!
In collaboration with Danish design studio, Kilo Design, they took the rad 80s look and added their own spins on it that would make even Marty McFly covet a pair. You know how when you normally get headphones, all you do is take it out of the box and that’s it? No fun with customization. With these, it comes disassembled (in a fun way) and you get to put it together yourself: the clean, brushed steel brace + 3 sets of sliders of various colors, to connect the ear cups to the brace + ear cups themselves. Included is a drawstring carrying case, because these headphones are just that easy to take apart and throw into a purse or murse. Another important feature of the Tracks is the built-in microphone for iPhone users, available in 3 out of the 6 available colorways.
