WIN: AIAIAI Headphones
AUTHOR: Latoyah Forsyth
Jack Kerouac believed that the only truth is music. These days, thanks to technology and its impact on the music industry, the power of our music may only be as good as the speakers we hear them through, and those speakers are changing everyday.
Audio design company, AIAIAI pride themselves on designing modern, minimalist headphones that deliver clear, amplified sound.
Meet Capital – the new durable, foldable and flexible pair of headphones from AIAIAI specifically for “on-the-go Urbanites”.
Designed by Bjarke Ingels and Lars Larsen of KiBiSi, Capital headphones are made out of reinforced fiberglass with a lightweight rubber-brace. They are designed to be exposed to everyday elements and tested to withstand rain, snow and dirt while delivering clear and crisp sound from the protected 40mm driver.
Drawing influence from Scandinavian acoustic/electro-acoustic design and engineering, the headphones are timeless, iconic, thoroughly realized and most of all – comfortable.
Thanks to our friends at AIAIAI, desktop has one pair of Capital headphones to give away! To be in the running, simply leave a comment below telling us what song you would blast through your new Capital headphones before 5pm Friday 20 July.
(Only open to residents of Australia)
Pinch & Shackleton – Rooms within a room. (DAT BASS)
Motorhead… ACE OF SPADES!
What song could you possibly play other than that?
I am thinking it would be ‘Rosetta Stoned’ by Tool.
Great comp btw.
Santigold – Disparate Youth
Mmmhmmmm
I would blast the new Frank Ocean album Channel Orange. Crank up the soothing beats of his ‘Forest Gump’ soundtrack!
Bruce Springsteen’s ‘DANCING IN THE DARK’.
Any track from the new Beach House record!
‘Everyones a Winner’ by Hot Chocolate for sure.
So many to choose from…
But I would blast Mr. Jones, Counting Crows =)
I’m thinking ‘Rage Against The Machine – Renegades of Funk’
Would have to be Golddigger by Kanye West because who does not love receiving things for free.
‘Jasmine’ by Jai Paul <3
Gammy Leg – Scott & Charlene’s Wedding
I would drop a fave of mine from Mixcloud by Blu Mar Ten (http://www.mixcloud.com/blumarten/from-the-vaults-vol-2-intelligent-mix-1997/) because the audio range of D+B would test the performance of the Capital headphones and I would be totally stoked to win as my birthday is on the 19th July and im still playing tunes through my iphone headphones.
silver ones please
my new obsession – The Awesome Wave by Alt-J ∆
OR Sigur Ros new album favourite – Dauðalogn
and life would be simply divine….

Free Download also ^__^
Wow ! Great track ! Very appropriate too !
‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ by The Rolling Stones as it’d be befittingly ironic and would thus enhance my listening pleasure just that tiny bit extra.
Living For The City – Stevie Wonder
Who Are You, by Twerps
Awesome!
Kendrick Lamar feat. Dr. Dre – The Recipe
Tune!
The answer is always NIN.
The Hand That Feeds.
Definitely crank Firestarter by Prodigy. That would be killer!
I’d put on the entirety of Airdrawndagger by Sasha and allow myself an hour or so of uninterrupted auditory bliss. Then go back to slaving away.
Moby – ‘Go’.
Epic Twin Peaks sampling FTW.
OMC – How Bizzare
A Whole New World, that song from that Disney film, Aladdin. Know why? That line that goes… “don’t you dare close your eyes”. Imagine that as a threat. The song becomes hilarious.
i actually just found this one today, but Fineshrine, by Purity Ring is really doing it for me!
Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song, cause thats how I feel today
“Hush Yael” – Oh, Sleeper.
The Black Keys – Lonely Boy!
Those headphones are gorgeous! Would have to be anything from the new Japandroids album, still loving it!
Basically the soundtracks of The Dark Knight Rises.

Waajeed – Funkin’ for Jamaica. This sounds ridic on a solid pair of headphones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M5F46-qpqY

Killer Kat by Trentemøller.
To compliment their Scandinavian roots some phat Danish beats will give them a good burn-in. With good headphones like these they deserve to have copious amount of bass blasting through them.

The sound of Chuck Norris screaming. Just joking, he has never screamed, but if he did I know these headphones would be able to take magnitude of force.
After that, Pink Flloyd – Dark Side of the Moon
Totally addicted to bass… Wa-a-ha-aaa
Josh Abrahams & Amiel Daemion
That imaginary duet between Catpower and Slayer
