Unit Specific Calibration file and plugin are included with the USC CALIBRATED version. With USC they are calibrated to ~1dB tolerance to the respective target curve (spatial or stereo). The plugin runs on PC and Mac with AU, AAX or VST3-supported DAW. (CuBase, Reaper, Studio One, Ableton, Nuendo, Mixbus, Pro tools, etc.)
Watch how to install it and use cases in this video:
The acoustically neutral and honest sound signature was perfected in close R&D collaboration with professional mixing and mastering engineers. The new S5X now comes with optional unit specific calibration (USC) to push that even further.
INDIVIDUAL CALIBRATION matters!
Would you ever use a generic calibration for your studio? An average of a few rooms similar to yours? Of course not.
So why would you compromise on calibration when it comes to headphones?
CALIBRATION ON / OFF
OLLO headphones are acoustically flat within ~2dB tolerance from the target. Individual calibration eliminates any manufacturing tolerances and boosts frequency response beyond acoustics limits within ~1dB tolerance.
That's super flat.

★★★★★I never used headphones to make my mixes, except to check for any noise that was causing me problems, but I never trusted the sound I heard for the mix, now that I bought Ollo Audio headphones on my way of working has changed. Thanks Ollo Audio
FABRIZIO ARGIOLAS
★★★★★I’m so happy working with the new OLLO S5 Headphones! It fully translate what we have in our Mastering Studios : very accurate and transparent, without artificial coloration or boost, it perfectly match with our state of the art Monitoring Systems. They’re neutral and brutaly honest, and that’s what I’m looking for as Mastering Engineer working each day on a different project

★★★★★I love how I hear all the details in my mix with these headphones. The highs are silky smooth and the low end feels super tight and punchy
CHRIS ROCHA
★★★★★Can I just say that Rok and the guys and girls at Ollo Audio are geniuses! They have once again improved on their original design which I didn’t think was possible. They have done it by listening to users' Feedback and by involving pro-level producers and engineers in the development of the S5X.

★★★★★The Ollo S5x is my go to headphone when mixing and checking my Atomos and stereo mixs at my 9.1.6 Red One Atmos Studio. I have Other headphones in my Studio which cost a lot more money by a well known brand... And even though they are great they do not compare in my opinion to the Ollo S5X.. The clarity and depth of field is incredible and for Spatial Audio I have found nothing better.

We believe in fair pricing all year long.
Free beats, underpaid gigs, free mixes are all disrescpectful and are killing the industry. So we do not offer discounts per se (not even on Black Friday and Cyber Monday).
We do lower the price when there is a good reason to do so. And we have three!
1. B STOCK
B stock items are sonically exactly the same as A stock but with minor scratches on backplates or headband. Some are built from wood leftovers. As mentioned, sonically, they perform exactly the same, only cosmetics are not perfect.
* Limited offer until the supply runs out!
2. OFFER FOR STUDENTS
We’re aware that being at the beginning of the audio profession can be hard, so we have an option to support all the audio-related students and teachers with a 25% discount on our headphones.
