The French producer is the second name in the series, and her two editions are pitched at musicians who work wherever the day takes them.
AIAIAI has brought French producer, singer and composer Oklou into its Artist Series, reshaping the TMA-2 and Tracks headphones around the way she works. She’s the second artist to feature in the series.

Much of Oklou’s music gets made away from a permanent studio – on trains, at the kitchen table, wherever and whatever time the day leaves her. This is reflected in both editions, taking the AIAIAI headphones already sitting on plenty of producers’ desks and restyling them.
TMA-2 Oklou Edition
These are based based on the professional modular TMA-2, so the sound and isolation carry straight across. Its over-ear cushions are PU leather, and the Bluetooth 5.0 connection runs past 40 hours on a single charge.
Tracks Oklou Edition
The lighter of the two, these headphones feature a supra-aural design on the simple lines the model has always had. It runs 40mm drivers with tight bass and detailed highs, and the ear cups slide along an aluminium brace to set the fit.
On the collaboration, Oklou says: “I chose AIAIAI because our approaches to expression are fundamentally aligned. It’s not about just making a product; it’s about a reciprocal support system where we lift each other up. This is a partnership of mutual respect and a collective desire to explore new ways of being creative.”
AIAIAI’s modular TMA-2 has won a Good Design Award, a Cannes Lions golden trophy and a Clio silver, and lives in the permanent collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Its UNIT-4 monitor took a Red Dot Design Award in 2024. Both Oklou editions are a limited run.
