Design

The main focus of was to combine the design of an icon-headphone with the design of a tool-headphone. The design approach has been to clean out as much as possible in the design and focus on exaggerating the details that are necessary to make the design work technical and visual. The design focused around a cohesive relations between the different elements in the headphones. A relation that makes the design appears as a whole with the same DNA controlling every move in the design. No nonsense and straight up.

Why the name TMA-1

The name TMA-1 is taken from Stanley Kubricks’ science fiction movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-1) refers to the apparent magnetic irregularity found at the Tycho crater on the Moon’s surface by American astronauts. A black Monolith buried 40 feet under the lunar surface causes the anomaly. In the background to the story in the book, an ancient an unseen alien race uses mechanisms with the appearance of large crystal Monoliths to investigate worlds all across the galaxy and, if possible, to encourage the development of intelligent life. The monoliths are extremely long-lived and reliable machines and resist destructive testing beyond the theoretical limits of material strength - fitting for the rugged, all black DJ headphone.
