Grell, known for his contributions to the development of popular Sennheiser headphones like the HD580, HD600, HD650, HD800, HD800s, and HE-1, brings his expertise to the table with the OAE1 Signature. These headphones adopt an innovative design concept – placing the driver unit further in front of the ear. This approach, previously used in headphones like the HD800, aims to create a more natural sound field for the listener.

The Drop + Grell OAE1 Signature headphones boast an impedance of 38 Ω, a sound pressure level of 106 dB, and weigh in at 375g. While the image doesn’t reveal the overall design, it showcases the headphones sitting on a table with the “grell” logo prominently displayed on the side. The limited-edition status and innovative driver placement make these headphones an intriguing option for audiophiles looking for a unique listening experience. Would you give these a shot?
