Former Sennheiser engineer Axel Grell has collaborated with Drop, a subsidiary of Corsair focusing on keyboard and audio peripherals, to introduce the Drop + Grell OAE1 Signature headphones. These headphones, limited to just 1,000 units, are currently open for pre-orders priced at $349 (approximately 2523 yuan) and are expected to start shipping on June 28th.
Grell's Legacy and Design Innovation
Axel Grell, renowned for his work on popular Sennheiser models such as the HD580, HD600, HD650, HD800, HD800s, and HE-1, has brought his expertise to the table with the OAE1 Signature headphones. One of the standout features of these headphones is the innovative design approach that places the driver unit further in front of the ear. This strategy, previously seen in headphones like the HD800, aims to offer a more natural sound field for the user.
Technical Specifications and Limited-Edition Appeal
The Drop + Grell OAE1 Signature headphones come with an impedance of 38 Ω, a sound pressure level of 106 dB, and weigh 375g. Although the current images do not fully reveal the overall design, they do display the headphones placed on a table with the "grell" logo prominently showcased. The blend of being a limited-edition release and the unique driver placement makes these headphones an enticing choice for audiophiles seeking a distinctive listening experience.
