Experience music exactly as it was created with the Grell OAE2 Open Around-Ear Audiophile Headphones. Moving closer to the ideal of natural sound reproduction, the OAE2 is designed to transmit audio without coloration. Unlike modern headphones that can sound artificial, the OAE2 eliminates distortion to deliver an experience comparable to high-grade studio monitors or a live concert.

Key Features

Excellent interaction with the pinna through front-sided sound transducers: This unique orientation leverages your specific ear geometry to ensure the finest nuances in audio are audible and natural.

Largest open baffle available on the market: The expansive design allows for unrestricted airflow, creating a more transparent and less confined acoustic environment for the listener.

Drivers tuned for exceptional low-end extension: These bio-mimetic drivers lower the resonance frequency to 40 Hz, far deeper than the standard 70 Hz found in typical headphones.

All components are replaceable: The modular design ensures a sustainable, long-lasting investment that can be easily serviced to maintain peak performance for years.

Natural perception of treble through angled transducers: By mimicking the angle of sound incidence found in real life, the OAE2 reproduces high frequencies with lifelike accuracy.

Powerful, tight bass response: A novel damping concept delivers impactful low frequencies that remain precise and controlled without overpowering the rest of the mix.

Carefully balanced mids: The tuning ensures that vocals and instruments are transmitted without coloration, sounding exactly as they were originally created.

Open, spacious soundstage: The design eliminates the "in-head" sensation, effectively recreating the immersive atmosphere and depth of a live concert performance.

The OAE2 is great. I hope to see a closed-back model in the future!

Super comfy memory foam headband and ear cushions, but the main attraction is the awesome FSFM (Frontal Sound Field Modulation) which changes the way you hear your music!

I grew up hearing my father's stereo system. I got into headphones chasing that sound. I have the HD800S, Arya Organic, and Focsl Bathys. I love those headphones, but they sound like headphones. The OA2 are closer to what I was chasing. Not the widest or super detailed oriented, but certainly ones that I enjoy for several hours in a sitting.

Nice sounding headphone. But the comfort is not great, making hotspots quickly. The earpads seem to be hard to remove, the mesh at the inside became loose and I need to check how to reattach, but the earpads do not come loose somehow...
