AIAIAI and Brain Dead are teaming up once more, bridging Copenhagen cool with Los Angeles energy for a pair of limited-edition headphones that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking. AIAIAI’s modular style has earned it a steady following, and Brain Dead’s creative spirit—known for inventive collaborations that span fashion, footwear, and beyond—brings a fresh spin to an already iconic silhouette.



The reworked Tracks headphones honor AIAIAI’s minimalist DNA. They rely on a single piece of curved aluminum as their frame, split down the center on each side to allow the earcups to slide for a comfortable fit. In a world obsessed with wireless everything, these wired on-ear headphones stand out with a classic 3.5mm stereo jack and 40mm speaker drivers that AIAIAI says deliver “full-spectrum sound quality with a tight bass and detailed high-frequency notes.”
While Brain Dead is often associated with bold prints and vivid hues, its approach here is unexpectedly understated. The ear pads are a subtle golden tint, and the brand’s iconic head logo appears as a neat graphic beneath a translucent plastic layer. The rest of the frame stays unpainted, leaning into an organic look, and a soft off-white cable ties it all together. The result is a study in restraint, making the design feel fresh but not overdone.

AIAIAI has been recognized recently for its commitment to sustainability, including the use of eco-friendly materials in its TMA-2 lineup. This collaboration echoes that ethos by keeping things simple and durable. Meanwhile, Brain Dead continues to forge new territory in the lifestyle realm, building on its track record of unique partnerships.
Available now through HBX and in select retail locations for both brands, this limited release merges two distinct aesthetics for a headphone that’s practical, refined, and just a bit unexpected—a collector’s piece that doesn’t look like everything else on the market.
