Atmos and immersive audio is quickly becoming the norm in audio production. Stereo deliverables are still required for records being made, but an Atmos or immersive mix tacked on to the end is the new standard. Apple Music users might be used to seeing the ‘Dolby Atmos’ logo on albums and singles, letting you know you’ll be hearing an Atmos mix, and even on stereo headphones or speakers, it’ll collapse into a deeper, more immersive, special experience.

For audio professionals, the rabbit hole of moving to an immersive workspace is a scary one, Dolby recommending a 7.1.4 system at a minimum to get started. For those of you who haven’t seriously considered this yet and done the research/math (and I’m excluding myself from that group), that’s 7 speakers around you, 1 subwoofer and four speakers in the ceiling. Even budget speakers are a huge investment, and that’s why companies like Ollo are offering more budget-friendly solutions like the Ollo Audio S5X 1.0 Binaural headphones. Joining a range of headphones, including the S4X 1.1 open-back mixing headphones and closed-back S4R 1.1 recording headphones, the S5X are reference-class headphones with an binaural/immersive experience. Specs aside, Ollo Audio pride themselves on spare parts being replaceable with tools you’ll likely have at home!
The S5X have hand picked, matched left/right transducers to ensure frequency accuracy and instrument separation. The transducers themselves are dynamic neodymium and respond from 15Hz to 22kHz. The headphones are specifically tuned for translation of an immersive mix between binaural and speaker setup.
