Ollo Audio S4X - Open Headphones  

The S4X

The S4X are great open headphones by Ollo Audio. The headphones are made in the European Union and are of high quality. The headphones aren’t wireless, which is better for recording as there will be no delay. During the development of the headphones Ollo Audio paid attention to the separation of different instruments. This is especially handy for musicians but also for music lovers that want the experience the sound realistically. These types of high-quality headphones usually aren’t compatible with smartphones and laptops due to the high output. This is not the case with the S4X, as the output is only 30 ohms and is thus suitable for your smart devices. Ollo Audio prioritises the durability and user-friendliness of their products, which means they made it possible for you or somebody local to you to fix the headphones when something goes wrong. The headphones are easy to take apart and spare parts can be retrieved from Ollo Audio. The headphones are very comfortable due to their thick leather pads and have a beautiful wooden back.

Open headphones vs. Closed headphones

The S4X are open headphones. The difference between closed and open headphones can be found in the sound and the background noise. Closed headphones have a closed back which means only you can hear the audio. It blocks the sound around you so you can properly focus on the audio. Open headphones have an open back, meaning the sound around you can still be heard. Open headphones also make the audio sound broader and more realistic, which means it sounds like a surround sound system. Open headphones are also suitable for people who still need to pay attention to the sound around them. Would you rather be closed off from your surroundings? Closed headphones will be best in that case. Would you rather experience more realistic audio? Open headphones will be better suited for you.

These headphones are also in a closed version available.
