OLLO Audio S5X 1.1 Reference Headphones

General

Known for tearing up the traditional, Ollo Audio already smashed things up with their S4X and S4R headphones, so with the all-new S5X 1.1, we don't expect anything less. This new model boasts a new design, and to put it simply: these headphones have a construction that's fully focussed on immersive mixing, supporting engineers working with formats like Dolby Atmos. This audio format is slowly but surely becoming a regular feature of everyday life, so if you're already working with it, the Ollo Audio S5X Reference headphones are an undeniable must-have. Of course, it should go without saying that even if you're looking for an outstanding set of headphones to support the mixing stage of standard stereo projects, you really can't go wrong with these either.

The OLLO Audio S5X Reference Headphones: Build Quality

Since the build quality plays an essential role in performance, these reference headphones spare no expense in terms of materials and no design decision has been made lightly. Extra air vents have been added to the ear pads and the headband has been replaced with a new design while the stunning American walnut finish that you got with a pair of 4-Series headphones has been retained. Whether mixing or mastering, the S5Xs simply deliver exactly what you want and need to hear - warts and all - and on top of that, they've been built to serve for decades.
