Richie Hawtin and AIAIAI have introduced the world’s first wireless headphones for music creators, the TMA-2 Studio Wireless+. Headphones and their technologies have changed drastically over the years.

When one thinks about cutting back on plastic usage, our minds don’t tend to go straight to our headphones. However, according to a recent report, it was found that a record 53.6 million metric tons of electronic waste were generated last year. In an effort to combat these staggering numbers AIAIAI has linked with Ninja Tune in a collaborative venture to launch an eco-friendly alternative to their popular TMA-2 headphones.

While that could raise questions on sound quality, the company maintains that though the material is bio-...
