Two years ago, I published one of the most negative reviews I've ever published. It was the Grell Audio OAE1 and despite having an interesting theory behind it, the result was not something I could convince myself was doing anything unique in a "good" way. Now Grell is back with the OAE2, and it seemingly has the same idea behind: Place the drivers in front of the ears and tune the headphone like it's coming from the front, rather than firing directly into the ears. It didn't work with the last headphone. But this one? I think it's working...
