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

★★★★★

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.

  • Replaceable using home tools

ACOUSTICS

  • Earpads with outer diameter of 95mm (3.75in), an inner diameter of 57.5mm (2.25in) and a depth of a 20mm (0.8in), +/-2.55mm. Made of artificial leather and velour.
  • THD < 0.074% @ 1kHz @ 85dBSPL with sweep source measured with IEC 60318-1 ear simulator.
  • Variation in frequency response in band from 20Hz to 20kHz ~12 dB SPL using sweep and IEC 60318-1 ear simulator.
  • Front-to-back air pressure equalization controlled with Saati flow resistor 3.2Ohms(²)/1cm².
  • Ex-centric and angled speaker in a conical radiation chassis with an optimal sound stage for best translation of instrument positions in stereo or immersive formats.
  • Frequency response target for best translation of balance and artificially placed objects in stereo or downmixed (binaural) immersive projects.

HEADBAND

  • Clamping force set to achieve target frequency response with industry-standard bitragional diameter of 14.3cm (KEMAR) on IEC60318-4 ear simulator.
  • Artificial leather strap and powder coated stainless spring steel are both replaceable using home tools.
  • 360 earcups rotation and sliders for quick and easy head size adjustments.

CABLE

  • 2m long (6.5ft) and easy detachable silicone cable with enameled OFC core to ensure minimal signal distortion.
  • Ball-locking mechanics on the embedded 2.5mm jack plugs.
  • Screw-on adapter from 3.5mm to 6.3mm jacks (1/8 to 1/4 inch)

USC CALIBRATION

Calibration is the "final mile" in delivering perfectly flat frequency response. All our headphones are very well tuned out of the box and measured in quality control. By measuring every individual unit we can capture any deviations in sound quality that comes from material tolerances for a specific unit. Calibration fixes these and frequency response beyond what's possible with acoustic design alone.

Unit specific calibration can achieve an incredibly low tolerance of approximately ~1dB to the selected frequency target. For illustration purpose, generic software calibrations like Sonarworks Sound ID or Waves NX can only achieve about ~3dB.

Unit Specific Calibration (USC) includes a software plugin and a calibration data file. The plugin comes in AU, VST and AAX format for Mac and Win users. The calibration data file is in XPS format that enables manual import to any 3rd party EQ plugin or hardware.

Calibration includes:

  • OLLO USC plugin (AU, VST, AAX)
  • calibration data in XPS file
  • compatibility with Realphones and Waves Nx
  • export to any 3rd party EQ

We believe in fair pricing all year long.⁠

⁠Free beats, gigs and mixes are all disrescpectful and are killing the industry.⁠ Everyone should be paid fairly and accordingly. So we do not offer discounts per se (not even on Black Friday and Cyber Monday) as we don't support that mentality.

We do lower the price when there is a good reason to do so. And we have three!

 1. B STOCK UNITS

 B stock items are sonically exactly the same as A stock but with minor cosmetic imperfections. These are brand new, unused units. Limited offer to when such units are available!
