Reference-Grade Open Back Headphones
OLLO Audio - S5X
5 years limited warrantyOLLO Audio’s S5X are reference-grade, open back, dynamic headphones with a staggeringly flat frequency response, expertly engineered for binaural/immersive mixing made in the EU.
Although OLLO have targeted and recommend these for immersive mixing, they are an all round excellent pair of stereo mix phones, with an even frequency response and are incredibly easy to drive, get great results on any interface, even built in laptop headphone connectors. The build quality and design is excellent and ruggedised, they fold flat and come with a travel bag, making them ideal for hotel room and location mixes, so you don't have to take an extra amp with you. - Tom (Scan Pro Audio)

Just Some Of Our Favourite Features!
Capture Frequency response in a certified studioUsing Kemar HATS simulator by G.R.A.S we captured frequency response of a Dolby Atmos certified studio. That was the base for the development of the prototypes that were then used in human subject A/B testing.
A/B human subject
testingWe all perceive spatial sound differently. The A/B testing with multiple mixing engineers gave us a more in depth understanding of what is required from headphones, to translate immersive mix, between binaural and speaker setup. We applied that knowledge as weights on the original target response.
Create a new target curve for headphones binaural mixingBased on our own research and plenty of articles in AES library we derived a final target curve for the immersive formats and we belive, for the future of audio. The new target curve is used as compensation in all our published reports.
