OLLO Audio [studio headphones]

Why the X1? 🎧 We took the best from the S4 and S5 series and combined them into one perfected headphone: the X1. A fully rounded, versatile headphone. Another step forward in sound. 👉🏻 New 50mm driver with a patented membrane attachment design that reduces harmonic distortion (THD), delivering a wider soundstage and clarity across the full frequency range (5Hz–22kHz) without compromising mid-range transients. 👉🏻 Easy to drive 32-ohm impedance speakers for versatility, compatible with more devices, from laptops to analog consoles. 👉🏻 Improved ergonomics with an elastic headband strap, an aesthetic successor to the S5X model, designed to minimize unintentional noises and microphonics. 👉🏻 USC II calibration plugin: AI-powered precision fine-tuning, allowing you to switch between three target curves (stereo, spatial, and Harman) and room emulations to navigate various environments. Best part? The XPS calibration file is open data, meaning you can input calibration values directly into your interface. 👉🏻 Hard case and cable included.

We’re proud to welcome @jacquireking to the OLLO Audio family as our ambassador. Jacquire, it’s an honor to have you with us. 🎧 “The OLLO X1 are the best headphones for mixing I've ever experienced. Over the last two mix projects I've worked them in to become familiar and the results have been incredible. Going between my monitor speakers and the X1's feels flawless and I now trust the work with the X1's. Trusting a pair of headphones for mixing is a massive change for me because I've never found a pair of headphones to mix on that did not guide me down the wrong path at some point. I'm having a hard time now imagining mixing without them.” – JACQUIRE KING Jacquire King is a music industry veteran whose career as a producer/engineer/mixer spans more than thirty years. His Grammy winning and nominated work includes that of top artists such as Tom Waits, Norah Jones, Zach Bryan, Kings of Leon and James Bay, to name a select few. • • • #olloaudio #jacquireking #studioheadphones #proaudio #musicproducer #mixingengineer #musicproduction #headphonemixing #audiogear #x1headphones #trustyourtools

Day 3 🌳🐦‍⬛🎙️ Matija Bolčina x @playwithnature.si Sreda, 6.5. 🎧 Snemanje. Kdorkoli je že ustvarjal pesem, pozna občutek nečesa, kar pritiska, dokler ne spusti. In ko začutiš, da je to to, jo podeliš. Tisti dan je bila ena še v procesu. Nastajala je zadnje obdobje. Z ekipo postavimo set. Steče prva, druga, tretja. Gaber vpraša: “Gremo naprej?” “Gaber… eno imam. Ni še končana, ma bi jo mogoče kar probal.” V katalogu ujetih zvokov spontano izberem tistega z vrha Pirana, kjer so mimo zvonika letale lastovke. In tako steče še četrta. Z listi na roke napisanega besedila po tleh in zvoki lastovk v ušesih sem v tistem trenutku slišal vračanje nazaj. In ga vnesel... Vse tu zapisano mogoče deluje zelo povezano. Resnica pa je, da je proces takega tedna precej bolj messy. Poln vseh barv. Mimo ideje popolnosti imamo v resnici samo priložnost, da ujamemo trenutek takšen, kot je. Mogoče je to najbolj strašljivo. Da smo v njem takšni, kot smo zdaj. V procesu. Včasih umazani, nespolirani, razštelani. • #recordingsession #visitpiran #gledališčetartini #musicjourney

ENDORSER SPOTLIGHT Andi Stecher 🇦🇹 “I really love the X1 headphones, working with them really is stepping up the game in terms of quality, detail and flatness, transient response and is elevating my productions significantly. The headphones come with an individual calibration file to reach an even more flat response for the headphones as well as a possibility to emulate different environments and rooms to check your mixes. I travel a lot for work and mix and produce in a wide variety of spaces, having the OLLO X1 headphones with me really is a tremendous help and i can 100% rely on them. Also I value OLLO`s approach and focus on sustainability, all parts on the X1 can be repaired with replacement parts by oneself using home tools. Amazing Headphones.” Andi Stecher is an Austrian-born drummer, producer and composer. Via his Stecher production outlet he works globally on cutting edge collaborations and solo productions, pushing the boundaries of genre limits and style confinements, bringing music to life through egalitarian global collaborations. In his compositions and research he reflects on topics as class politics in music, alpine musical traditions, the general meaning of musical tradition/consumption and fetishization of traditional music in Europe and globally.

FLAT HEADPHONES. AMSTERDAM? 🇳🇱 We’re exploring the idea of bringing the OLLO Masterclass to Amsterdam. A small gathering where the local audio community could test our latest headphones, ask questions, exchange perspectives and experience hands-on listening sessions around mixing and monitoring. It's a space to listen, compare, learn and connect. Before moving forward, we’d love to know if people around Amsterdam would actually be interested in something like this. If you know a studio or creative space that could host around 20 people, please tag them below 👇 • • • #olloaudio #amsterdam #proaudio #musicproduction #audioengineering

Last day at Superbooth26 — Saturday, May 9. After two beautiful and intense days full of visitors, talks, demos and music, we want to thank everyone who came to visit us at the FCPRO.AUDIO booth and spent time testing our Mixthesizer instruments with us. We’ll be here all day today as well, so if you’re at Superbooth, come say hello and try the setup. A special thanks also to OLLO Audio for providing the headphones we are using at the booth — the perfect partner to experience the depth and detail of our analog sound.

Today we’re diving deep into the new @olloaudio X1 headphones and seeing how they hold up in real-world music production, mixing, and critical listening. As a professional producer, touring artist, and mixing/mastering engineer, I wanted to test whether the X1’s actually deliver the accuracy, translation, and detail that modern engineers need — without the hype. In this review I cover: • Sound signature & frequency response • Stereo imaging & depth • Comfort for long studio sessions • Build quality & design • Mixing performance & translation • Comparisons to other popular studio headphones Massive thanks to OLL0 Audio for collaborating with us at Sektion Sound and supporting our students with exclusive discounts. Stay tuned for future mix tests, comparisons, and a full breakdown of how the X1’s stack up against industry-standard headphones. 🎧 If you’re a producer, engineer, or audio nerd chasing cleaner mixes and better translation — this one’s for you. #OLLOAudio #StudioHeadphones #MusicProduction #MixingEngineer #AudioEngineering #SektionSound #HeadphoneReview #ProducerLife #Mixing #Mastering

“The OLLO Audio R1 headphones have become a reliable part of my production workflow. What stands out most is their honesty and balance, especially when working on detailed mixes and ambient textures. They translate well across different systems, which gives me confidence when making critical decisions. I value how natural and fatigue-free they feel during long sessions, making them a practical tool for both creative work and mixing.” @juneheredia works with the R1 recording headphones 🎧 • • • #olloaudio #r1headphones #proaudio #musicproduction #recording
