This is not a mass product, but headphones built to last years. These headphones can handle a lot of abuse, but if something were to happen Ollo Audio offers spare parts that can be easily replaced at home.

Open headphones vs. Closed headphones

The R1 are closed headphones. The difference between closed and open headphones can be found in the sound and the background noise. Closed headphones have a closed back which means only you can hear the audio. It blocks the sound around you so you can properly focus on the audio. Open headphones have an open back, meaning the sound around you can still be heard. Open headphones also make the audio sound broader and more realistic, which means it sounds like a surround sound system. Open headphones are also suitable for people who still need to pay attention to the sound around them. Would you rather be closed off from your surroundings? Closed headphones will be best in that case. Would you rather experience more realistic audio? Open headphones will be better suited for you.
