Decades of work on optimizing listening with headphones
The innovative acoustic concept sets new standards in the world of audiophile listening.
Extremely low tolerances for frequency response, left-right deviation and distortion.
The high-quality materials and beautiful simplicity of design make the OAE1 signature a unique experience.
Our innovative ideas make the OAE1 sound better.
A variety of acoustically transparent fabrics span a filigree frame to create a natural sound experience.
The OAE1 is characterized by its innovative acoustic concept, precise mechanics and components made of high-quality fabrics, plastics, aluminum and stainless steel.
But what's really new is the arrangement of the transducers and baffles.
The patent-pending arrangement of the acoustic reproduction transducer and the extremely large, acoustically open baffle directs the sound directly into the ear from the front.
This method, which takes into account the uniqueness of individual ear geometry, makes audiophile music enjoyment possible for everyone.
This is because the sound waves of a note hit each ear differently. One person's hearing is different from another's. With grell" technology, everyone hears the sound with their ear geometry - just as they would if they were listening without headphones. The result is a superior listening experience for everyone.

Axel Grell, reknown headphone engineer and consultant:
The OAE1 signature is the latest result of my decades of work on improving the listening experience with headphones. The completely new acoustic design is embedded in an ergonomic timeless product design.
It is made from selected high-quality materials in a manufacturing process of the highest qualitative level.
You will forget about the OAE1 when listening to your music. What remains is an incomparable musical pleasure. With this in mind, I wish you many enjoyable hours with your OAE1.

TWS1 Press Reviews
„Compliments to Mr. Grell! He made a fantastic debut with the TWS/1. The sound is world class, you can't do much better.“
CONNECT (3/2022) Christian Möller

Working with the app went smoothly. The touch controls worked fine. At the price, the TWS/1 is a blast!

„Axel Grell Creates Some Of The Best Wireless Earphones You'll Ever Hear.“
FORBES (1/2022) Mark Sparrow
---------------------
„... the TWS/1 surpasses many in-ears that are at least a hundred euros more expensive in terms of sound and ANC quality.“

„...the Grell Audio TWS/01 revealed such a balance and joy of playing ...“
STEREO GUIDE (4/2022) Stefan Schickedanz
---------------------
In the listening test, the Grell Audio TWS/01 revealed such a balance and joy of playing paired with a rich, clean bass that sometimes the feet moved rhythmically under the table. With every note you could feel the extraordinary talent and experience of the former Sennheiser developer. With the first headphone under his own direction, he delivered a solid performance in every respect. Outstanding is not only the exemplary tonal tuning. However, the feeling of the highest level of naturalness was by no means based solely on the timbres, which also predestined the TWS/1 for classical music and jazz with natural instruments and complex vocals. The combination of transparency and high level of detail also contributed to the extremely appealing listening experience. We also liked the spacious sound reproduction for in-ear conditions. The comfortable fit also contributed to the fact that you could listen to the grell for a long time without getting tired. ...A rock-solid true wireless in-ear with active noise cancelling, individual sound tuning via the Sonarworks app and a very long battery life for 200 euros from a German manufacturer - you don't get that every day.

Axel Grell is a legend in the personal audio space, having crafted some of the highest quality headsets in the world. … If there's one thing former chief headphone engineer of Sennheiser Axel Grell knows, it's how to create a great-sounding headset.
The TWS/1 is deeply connected with the SoundID app from Sonarworks - the specialist for consistently good sound in recording studios. It enables the TWS/1 to adapt to the acoustics of the listener´s individual ear geometry. The individual settings made with the SoundID app remain in the TWS/1 until they are changed or switched off, so the user enjoys personalized sound with any Bluetooth source! And the app offers the possibility to install new firmware. SoundID is available for iOS and Android.
