Exceptional On-Ear Headphones
I want to start off by saying I’m not any kind of audiophile. I have no expertise on sound quality or the like, so keep that in mind when reading further. Any notes on sound quality should be taken with a grain of salt (though I won’t dwell on that much).I use these headphones on a daily basis for my job. I am an IT help-desk agent for my job, meaning I am constantly on the phone. This requires a headset with acceptable sound quality, a good microphone, and most importantly, sustained comfort. These headphones have provided exactly what I needed.I mentioned before that I’m no audiophile, but the sound quality is great for any average user. I don’t listen to a lot of music, but podcasts sounds nice and crisp. The output volume is great, and can reach levels above what I’m comfortable using when listening on an iPhone. My normal use at my job is all analog phone quality audio, so most of the time high quality audio isn’t even an option. But, these allow me to hear my calls just fine (and are great when making calls on iPhone, too – Facetime audio sounds as crisp as anything).There are issues with sound bleed. At mid-level volumes, people nearby will be able to hear some audio coming from the headphones. Also, as on-ear headphones, they have zero noise cancelling. I am not docking them any points for this, as that’s sort of par for the course with on-ears. If you need noise cancelling and zero sound bleed, try another kind of headphone (over-ear or earbuds).The microphone picks up fairly well. I’ve done some audio tests with the sound recorder on my iPhone, and it seems to have pretty good range. No replacement for a studio mic or anything, but it’s more than acceptable for normal use. Siri/voice commands work with no issues. I also use these as a headset with my PS4, and I’ve had no complaints when playing with friends (though, the quality of voice chat over PSN is less than great). At work, I have to wrap the cable around the ear-muff to bring the microphone closer to my mouth for better clarity when talking to users on the other end. I don’t think that is worth docking a star, as it doesn’t affect the fit or feel when I do it, but I think it should be mentioned.What I was most surprised by is the level of comfort with these. I have pretty sensitive ears, and they are pretty easily fatigued when wearing headphones. I’ve had many, many pairs of over-ear phones that give me ear pain after about an hour of use. These, however, are comfortable for the 5 to 7 hours I wear them at my job. The foam on the earpads is thick and will actually mold to my ear shape after a bit. The foam rounds back out overnight, so it doesn’t pack in and lose padding. The earpads also have a decent range of vertical and horizontal rotation on its pivot point (which is a ball pivot). This should accommodate most ear shapes.The headband is aluminum, which gives them a little rigidity, but is flexible enough to not clamp too hard on your head. It’s also quite light, though maybe heavier than plastic would be. The band is also designed so the connectors on the earpads can adjust about 3/4 of the way to the top of the band before they slide out. This means the headphones have a wide range of fit, and can be disassembled for easy storage, as well as customization.The headphones come with 3 pairs of earpad connectors – the part attaching the earpads to the headband. I purchased the black/black colorway, which came with black, red, and green connectors. These slide out of the headband by adjusting them towards the top, and pop off the earpads by pulling them off with a moderate tug.Construction seems great. The aluminum band appears to be anodized, the earpads are a high quality foam, and the cups and connectors are sturdy plastic. They’re constructed with individual cables for each earpad, and they connect at a large rubber joint, joining into a single cable (about a meter long from the joint), which ends at a 90-degree angled 8mm audio jack. The cabling is all rubber coated, and is a fairly thick gauge throughout.If you have any questions, or if there’s anything I may have left out, please leave a comment and I’ll try to update quickly!

Exceeds Expectations – Near Perfect
Only had them a few days so these are early impressions. However: had the same delight receiving the package and opening these headphones you might have opening an Apple product. Packaging is high design, high quality – and so is the product.The phones look great and have a simple, unfussy design. The ear pieces are comfortable and swivel to fit your head; the control buttons, with embedded mic, are tactile but not overly sensitive. You won’t inadvertently cue forward to the next track.But most importantly – to me, at least – they sound really great. The sound is balanced and rich. The bass is full and clear without boominess. Music is pleasurable to my ears, and I look forward to putting them on. Phone call audio is equally clear and balanced.And they don’t fall out or need to be drilled deep into my ear canal to hear the bass properly, like earbuds. I realized I can’t stand earbuds, and these were my solution – couldn’t be happier, so far.Only con I am aware of so far – they are of course bulkier than simple earbuds, you can’t just stuff them in your pocket. On the up side, there is less to get tangled up cables-wise (another reason I loathe earbuds).They aren’t dirt cheap, but $85 seems reasonable given the quality and design. They do seem like if you sat on them, they might not fare so well – the long term durability is unknown. But for the normal 2-4 year lifespan of a pair of headphones – I don’t see why not…Enjoy!

Perfect (for me)
I received my Tracks only a few days ago, but it’s already clear that they are perfect (for me).I do not want headphones that attempt to replace a stereo system. I have a stereo system, and like it very much.I do not want ear buds. I have ear buds (good quality), but do not like the feel of ear buds.I want headphones that have good clear sound, and are light weight and comfortable. Tracks are perfect (for me). I like their looks, but that is personal. I like their design because it seems simple, durable, and adjustable to fit anybody. The cord is about 55″.In a store demo, I tried Monster Beats Pro by Dr. Dre and Bose Quiet Comfort 15. I preferred the Beats Pro, and I think both of them have better sound than Tracks. However, Tracks have good sound, and the other two are not what I want. They’re both heavier, less comfortable, bulkier, with joints that can break, and I don’t want headphones that require a battery.Before I bought my Tracks, I sent email to the manufacturer to ask the cord length. I received a prompt reply. Interestingly, it said the cord length is about 3.5 feet (i.e., 42″). My guess is that the answer measured the cord to the point where it divides rather than to the ear pads.

The earpieces fall off. It’s too hard to reattach them
Pros: Very good sound quality for music, and they also have a built in microphone without a boom for phone calls. Light weight. Compact. Fairly comfortable.Cons: The earpieces keep falling off the headband and are exceedingly difficult or impossible to reattach. They’re poorly attached with tiny plastic beads. Jostling them frequently knocks them off. It’s too hard to reattach them. I’ve given up on these and am discarding them.

Suenan muy bien pero si hace viento, la diadema silva al ser de metal muy delgado, y es muy incómodo estar escuchando el silbido todo el tiempo.

Zugegeben â wahrscheinlich gibt es keinen Kopfhörer, der JEDEM gefällt, dafür sind die Hörgewohnheiten zu individuell. Irgendetwas gibt es immer zu meckern: dem einen klingt’s zu blechern, dem nächsten zu hell, der dritte vermisst Tiefbass-Druck. Objektiv betrachtet muss man aber realistisch bleiben und die Summe aus Preis / Design / Gewicht / Klang bewerten. Und was man mit dem AIAIAI TRACKS bekommt, ist ziemlich perfekt. Ein wahnsinnig leichter und hübscher On-Ear, ausgewogen im Klang, mit erstaunlich wuchtigem Bass. Bei einem so kleinen ON-Ear mit nur wenig Druck auf’s Ohr eine Seltenheit. Ich kannte schon die gröÃeren AIAIAIs, die man sich gezielt â je nach Hör-Präferenz â zusammenstellen lässt. Aber was die Jungs mit dem kleinen Tracks, der ja eher für unterwegs gedacht ist, ist erstaunlich. Superschön, superleicht, Supersound, mit zusätzlichen/farblich unterschiedlichen Halteproppen für den Bügel: Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung! Es sollte mich wundern, wenn Ihr nicht von Bass-Kraft, Tragekomfort, Haptik und Design überrascht seid. Ãber die Mikro-Umschaltfunktion kann ich nichts sagen, da ich ihn rein als Kopfhörer benutze. Viel SpaÃ, ihr werdet nicht enttäuscht sein 🙂

Ricevuta con qualche giorno di ritardo.Veniamo al prodotto,imballo decisamente simpatico ed elegante scatola con chiusura magnetica , quasi esagerata !!!!Aspetto semplice , funzionale, e, con un minimo di attenzione per i cavetti, direi abbastanza robusta per la categoria.Si indossa comodamente, forse la regolazione massima è un poco al limite per i “testoni”, dopo averla indossata per pochi minuti ci si scorda di averla in testa, seriamente fate attenzione a non alzarvi di scatto per aprire porte o roba simile vi tirate dietro tutto o rompete i cavi, perchè ci si scorda realmente di indossarla.Per l’uso on the go è perfetta stringe il giusto per non perderla, anche se a prima vista il fatto che non è pieghevole può far supporre che sia poco trasportabile in realtà si infila ovunque, anzi il non essere pieghevole la rende a parer mio più solida e duratura, ho cassetti pieni di cuffiette pieghevoli spezzate in tre o 4 parti.Veniamo al suono, come suona questo oggettino AIAIAI ???Appena indossata manifesta subito una timbrica ed un dettaglio molto piacevole su tutta la gamma, forse all’inizio un pò come dire asciutta, ma dopo qualche ora di ascolto si apre abbastanza bene e consente un ascolto decisamente buono per la fascia ed il prezzo del prodotto.Riassumendo direi:volume di ascolto direi ottimo anche con i piccoli devicesriproduzione bassi sorprendente per qualcosa di così piccolo e leggero, sono ottimi a parer mio, profondi e controllati.Medi e voci vanno molto bene, provata anche sull’hifi di casa , nulla da eccepire.Gamma alta direi perfetta non stridente , dettagliata precisa, non affaticante.In generale direi che questa cuffietta è adatta all’ascolto di ogni tipo di musica, anche jazz, ed acustica, come è pure ottima per guardarsi un bel film riproducendo ottimamente voci musiche ed effetti, comprese quelle belle basse frequenze tipiche da filmone.Concludendo direi che è proprio ottima, forse per la fascia di prezzo, la migliore oggi disponibile.

This is my second pair of AIAIAI Tracks. My previous pair lasted for nearly six years before they died. I continue to love them. I have moderate hearing loss which means I have to have the volume up loud to hear things through headphones and these cope beautifully. There is minimal sound overspill so I don’t disturb my household too much. They’re comfortable and lightweight so I can wear them for hours without getting sore ears. The microphone is an excellent added bonus when I’m using them with my mobile.

Très agréablement surpris par ce casque, que je comparerais au V-Jays que j’ai remplacé. La télécommande dans mon cas n’est qu’à un seul bouton (marche/arrêt de la lecture et décrochage/raccrochage des appels), donc il n’y pas de contrôle du volume mais cela ne me gène pas. A noter que je l’utilise sur un portable avec Android 4.4.4 et que la comptabilité et le fonctionnement sont nickels. Le design vintage est sympa et le son excellent. Il est un peu plus ouvert que le V-Jays (l’écouteur étant moins proche de l’oreille a priori) et le bruit ambiant est un peu plus présent. J’ai également constaté que le design de l’arceau en deux branches produit un léger sifflement en cas de vent. Dans l’ensemble je recommande ce modèle pour ses performances et sa légèreté.
