AIAIAI has launched a new line of headphones built for DJs.

Dubbed as a “headphone for the dynamic creative process”, the new features include a 40mm signature bio-cellulose diaphragm to reduce distortion and a bio-cellulose speaker to deliver high volume levels as well as minimise distortion in loud environments.

Created with foam cushions and covered in PU leather to enhance soundproofing, the headphones also have interchangeable components such as earpads, cables, and speaker units allowing users the option to upgrade on quality and style.

AIAIAI Founder, Frederik Jørgensen has said: "The process of making music today is more dynamic than ever. Creators demand to pursue inspiration wherever and whenever it strikes. Our XE line is designed for this - more versatile, cross-functional, and lightweight - ready for any scenario.”
