In this video, I take a look at the OLLO Audio X1 mixing headphones after using them to mix for the past few months. I’ll walk you through their build quality, comfort, sound signature, and the unique calibration system that takes them to the next level.
Plus, I compare them to two studio headphone heavyweights: the Sennheiser HD650 and Audeze MM-500.
Vocal Mic I used in this video is the V67 by JZ Mics.
