Beyerdynamic T5 3rd Generation
Almost exactly four years ago, the second generation Beyerdynamic T 5 entered the market, and they performed impeccably. Now, these high-end headphones are back – in their third generation.
AKG K371-BT
The K371 and 361 – the new additions to AKG's 3 Series – have already fully convinced us in our tests. Now there is a Bluetooth version of both these headphones, identified with "BT" in their name.
Teenage Engineering M-1
Teenage Engineering mainly build synthesizers and sound generators that are as quirky as they are lovable, both functionally and in terms of design, and they have thus gained a firm foothold outside the mainstream. Now they are introducing a headphone that is primarily aimed at owners of the OP-Z synthesizer, but thanks to two integrated microphone options, it can also be used in many other scenarios.
Aiaiai TMA-2 HD
With their modular headphone system TMA-2, the Danish company Aiaiai has implemented a concept that is as simple as it is advanced – a TMA-2 consists of four components that can be freely combined: Sound transducer (Speaker: S01 – S05), headband (Headband: H01 – H06), ear pads (Earpad: E01 – E08) and connection cable (Cable: C01 – C15) together they form functioning headphones. If you prefer an "off-the-peg" combination, you can choose one of the so-called "Presets". With the S05 transducer, Aiaiai now adds an HD (High Definition) driver to the range, which is available in the combination tested here as a TMA-2 HD preset.

If you prefer an "off-the-peg" combination, you can choose one of the so-called "Presets". In the case of the TMA-2 HD Wireless, Aiaiai directly combines two new components: the S05 HD audio driver and the H05 headband, which has integrated a Bluetooth receiver including batteries.
Mackie MC-450
Mackie's entry into the headphone market can certainly be described as successful. Especially the – second place in terms of price – MC-250 which convinced us with their price-performance ratio. All three previous models in the series (MC-150, 250 and 350) had one thing in common: they were all closed designs. With the MC-450, Mackie now introduce their first studio headphones with an open back, and these have all the advantages associated with such a design, like less heat build-up and the feeling of still being in contact with your surroundings.
