“The ears don't have to adapt to the headphones because we've designed our product to adapt to natural hearing. The OAE2 represents a fundamental change in headphone design.”
Axel Grell, chief engineer and founder of grell
Research-based
Based on the latest scientific findings, a completely new acoustic concept was developed for the OAE2.
Thanks to Front-sided Sound Field Modulation (FSFM) and the careful selection and tuning of acoustic components, the OAE2 offers outstanding sound quality.
The OAE2 ushers in a new generation of audio products. The experienced development team at grell is redefining the sound of headphones.
Design
The design of the OAE series combines delicate precision with harmonious, ergonomic shapes. It's an expression of technical elegance. The OAE1 signature, which first embodied this design concept, was honored with the prestigious iF Design Award 2025 – an internationally recognized seal of approval for excellent design and design quality.
Wearing comfort
A soft, wide memory foam headband distributes weight evenly and ensures hours of listening enjoyment. The open, acoustically highly effective ear pads offer a secure yet comfortable fit. The extensions have been designed to adapt optimally to a wide variety of head shapes.
Sustainability
The high quality of the components guarantees the longevity of the OAE2. Thanks to its modular design, all components can be replaced or repaired.
Grell relies on environmentally certified production facilities, plastic-free packaging, and durable materials. Our goal is sustainability without compromising performance.
The open acoustic headphone design creates a spacious and differentiated soundstage thanks to its permeable acoustic properties. Beyond that, the internal structure minimizes reflections and supports the most natural listening experience possible.
Perfect for home and desktop use
Take your time and listen carefully.
Your ears need some time to adjust to the new sound because they are used to the way traditional headphones work. With its innovative concept, grell pursues a different sound philosophy. Hear for yourself on Qobuz, streaming in Hi-Res Audio, where we have created a playlist especially for the OAE2.
