At this point, it’s worth noting that the TMA-2s don’t deliver their best performance straight out of the box. Pulling the components out of their individually sealed bags, there’s a note advising that the drivers should be broken in for 24 hours before use.

No matter how much I tried to adjust the fit, I could not wear the on ear for more than an hour without discomfort. Aiaiai’s over ear is much much more comfortable than their on ear, regardless of material.
