Reacting to Dear VR Monitor plugin with the S5X studio headphones. Audio demo requires headphones!
In this EP No. 39, we're testing the updated Dear VR monitoring plugin. We've reviewed the DEAR VR PRO 2 before but never got to the monitor plugin until now. ua-cam.com/video/QU0pRR8pO7A/v-deo.html
Rok is going through the process of installing and using the plugin for the first time. Trying to figure out the interface and react to the features and virtual rooms in it while using the S5X mixing headphones.
Audio demo consists of drum loops, guitars and music at the end.
During the testing Rok noticed slight coloration in the Analytic Dry room that prompted him to push pink noise through it and see the response with spectral analyzer.

Hey amigo, bacana essa música do teste. Pode dizer o nome dela?
People learn better with emotion attached. Your intro did it well and then later the explanation and the two kinds of demonstrations forever cemented in my mind what I must not ever do with my headphones. This is what real teaching is and should be. Excellent job, man.
@@q0w1e2r3t4y5 :) Thank you for taking notice of the efforts. Bless you.
I switched from Dear VR to Embody Immersive, which does an HRFT scan for your ear.
Dude, do the whole album!! Love this, thank you
Did this happen to the headphone because it does not have a pressure or air release hole for the driver and it suffers from a bad design?
@@MML66 This way bass extension can be achieved. It's a part of the design. There are tradeoffs with acoustics design, always. Tnx for a cool question.
@@olloaudio Thank you, I hope you have a happy day
This advice is incredibly simple yet so clever, I really appreciate that! Thanks! I will definitely bring some of my dirty mixes with me when choosing the correct pair of headphones, but to be honest, I'm already in love with the S5X so much, that I might actually just get them anyways :D
You should say it's only possible (and you probably really want to break it while doing it) with closed headphones and with a perfect seal around the ear pads. I really doubt open headphones and planar headphones can suffer from this in normal use situations....
In normal use, this is not a problem. Pushing them agains your ears (as many do for some reason) is not normal use. Open are less perceptive of this, true. But far from imune. Same for planar. Thanks for the comment challanging our POV, love it. R
@@olloaudio you would really have to push hard and have a perfect seal around your ears to even flex the driver a bit... thats crazy badluck if it happens to someone...
Very informative, thanks!
Is it only or dynamic driver headphones, does it apply for planars or AMT ones?
@@nyverinorlyth9555 No membrane is happy with this. All headphones (including ours) can take some of this without damage and all will get squashed if there's too much pressure, quickly introduced. Planar are no different but some are cleverly designed to be able to take it well.
Your intro almost gave me a heart attack. But definitely good considerations! Thanks
This is something easily missed. Thanks for demonstrating how bad it is!
👍
Hi. can I use the calibration outside the daw system? just to listen to music via pc or mac? thanks
@@kommamusic4174 yes, if you have a sound card that has its own eq. You then transfer the data there. Or use realphones system wide app that supports USC file import.
@@olloaudioThank you for your response. I don't have any of that 🙂 only sonarworks can i use there? Are all the headphones that you offer with calibration individually calibrated or as a series? I didn't find it anywhere
@@kommamusic4174 Sonarworks does not support but realphonea does. All.latest editions have individial calobration although they are super flat even without it.
@@olloaudio I can't wait to try them. i buy Ollo S5X now and model S4X for my father for his birthday. i use now Slate VSX and Sennheiser HD 650 with individual calibration from sonarworks. I hope that the S5X model will be better and thus the sound of my songs 🙂
@@kommamusic4174 650s are nice. Actually have individual unit from sonarworks in the lab as well. Bassier than what s5x are with the usc running. Consider testing with realphones as you can inport usc directly. Enjoy and thank you for your support. HBD to your dad.
Why are these headphones 32 Ohms? Is it enough for amplifiers? Hopefully that's enough. I don't really understand it, but I see that Beyer still thinks that the more ohms, the better the sound. That's just a question. I am interested in recording Guitar-Metal. And listen to metal music.
@@CannibalKats here's why in that's a good thing from our perspective. But higher has it's advantages, just as lower has. See in the video. ua-cam.com/video/ijUbhKYO7qU/v-deo.htmlsi=mweLizlm5Eo2e3La
Great video, very interesting indeed !
Interesting thoughts. I was listening to my church's livestream mix and fiddling with the L-R. I discovered the feed between the board and the video had been swapped when I tried to pan a channel. That was a surprising discovery. Maybe I should have mirrored the video instead...
@@annasoH323 :) Happens to the best
So there is no L/R on the S4X, they are identical and be switched, right?
@@ErixSamson yes. You can swap l r cable and have ot go behind your back, away from working area.
Subanlo en español por favor
Was considering Slate VSX as on sale and based on their function rather than their aesthetics. Doing research if worth the money I came across Ollo Audio's beautiful looking headphones and impressed by what they deliver in their sound. Love the design of the S5X more compared to S4X but some videos and reviews suggest S4X are better for mixing 'normal stereo' as S5X are geared more to the mix down of immersive mixes. Is that correct? I wss also checking if they come in a darker wood, then saw this video and the set on the desk. A darker colour by the looks of it😀 The teaser they are a prototype and something new might be coming now makes me think I should pop credit card back in wallet and wait and see.
@@tokyoskyline1752 wait and see ;)
@@olloaudio you tease😜 I shall look forward to see what comes.
Wow great video, love it !!
Good points. This is exactly what I do when testing monitors as well. I've been relying on the HD600 for years and years but I'm very curious to test some OLLOs someday. Keep up!
I just bought your S4X B stock ( the finish is perfect) and everything else has too much lows & highs to mix. Congrats for this amazing device. The plugin to fix frequencies is great too. I’ll be happy to buy monitors if you’d make some one day.
This is a really cool demo between different impedance voice coils in the same chassis. Thank you! I wonder, and would you know, if the FR waterfall plot would be the same or different driven from the same (assuming competent) amplifier?
Interesting idea to test. Will look into it.
Nice
Interesting technical discussion. I love this! Helps me feel like my electrical training wasn't for nothing.
Na redditu velikrat vidm : "kupu sm 600ohm ,kaj sedaj rabim ? 😂.. ucash mam filing da nardijo 600ke sam zato ker je grupa ljudi ki misli "rabim najvec da bo ja najbolj" kar velka 😆.. Ps: drugic daj še primerjavo teh dveh spekerjev kako se obnasata ko se HP-output imedanca povecuje : 1ohm vs 10ohm primer.
:) zna bit zabavno
Bravo! Rok~~
Thabk you. Warrren. Its about his 14 year old son dying.
The USC basically increases / decreases some frequencies based on the actual headset frequency response curve, is that correct?
Yes it does fix tolerances and also improves on asherence to target.
Is the USC calibration going to improve the Frequency Response of a S4X 1.1 version?
Yes, slight correction. Between one and two dB.
Just to be sure, I don't need realphone, I can just use the USC, right?
Yes
Are those headphones also good for mixing normal stereo music? I am looking for a good Allround pair of headphones I can use with my synthesizer, on the DAW and sometimes maybe just for listening to music on my phone 😁
Of course, neutral response is always welcome. They have a tad more high end energy than optimal for stereo mixing but still work for stereo very well.
Which headphones in your line up would you recommend for classic stereo mixing ?
@@svenkund234 S4X for the balance in stereo. But if you mix using spatializers then s5x will deliver more consistently overall.
@@olloaudio Which headphone do you recommend for stereo mixing with Realphones?
@@deanrobin9273 The S5X have better soundstage but they have a tad less bass response. Overall, S5X are a better headphone even for stereo only. Also, you likely mix plenty of hrtf based effects like spatializers, reverbs etc,..and s5x are made for that kind of signals,...
Lol, a year late.. but hard disagree on the length of the second drop. They use the second half to hold back the tempo which makes it hit way harder on the change and reverses from the first time through where they push the beat. And its sick.
what about mesh earpads very nice explanation about the room acoustics that play a part on headphone pads I was certainly overlooking that now again what about mesh earpads they appear similar to the focal earpad stock ones perhaps I'm tripping my balls off or perhaps I'm not because I have noticed that the high end headphones are mostly open backs are semi open backs from the same logic I conclude that focal earbuds made out of some fabric or mesh are good stuff I'm I'm speculating I don't know of course they are properly and specifically tuned so again I'm speculating a lot of mistakes there that I'm not going to correct hahaha from what I seem to be understanding the mesh of fabric will lead to a roll off on the base and I don't want that for my Samsung sr 850 I've heard they are similar to the super looks HD 6 81 anyway I love my sr 850 and I feel that the base is there but I would be glad if I got more of it rather than less so I probably buy a perforated that has the biggest room and thickness because like I said the mesh probably going to lose some base and I can't buy the letter because they are cheap and cheap letter just freckles otherwise I would just buy the the dekoni or zmf remium ones I do have a oval brainwavz perforated sincerely I never thought much of them so I'm going to buy a perforated from China I mean brain waves are from China I think anyway I'm going to buy a off btand brand from China guess AliExpress and we'll see if they are really that worth the holy podium champions of earpads brainwavz dekoni zmf wicked cushions
It's a game of flow resistance. Perforated pads will have less, but that open an option to have harder foam to balance that, when wanted.... sometimes it's just design. Perforation costs more so low tier can not use that as tuning. Hence you see it with products where it's possible to use and justify cost.
Hi. It’s exactly what I was waiting for!!!! Thanks
Hi. Is your first way of using USC file usable with Apogee Symphony I/O MKII? I don't think so, but what do you think? Thanks. I have your S4X 1.3 with the recently released USC for Protools.
No all interfaces have software and routing capabilities. You can use inside DAW or with systemwide app like Realphones. USC integrates with it with one click.
Hi, I really appreciate your videos, could you recommend a portable DAC/AMP to bring out the qualities and neutrality of the S5X?
Fantastic idea, we'll order some and test them for you.
@@olloaudio 💓
Could be nice to have a close up shot when you're disassembling the electronic parts. Great video though
Sweet to know they’re user serviceable
I reported to the company that it should be able to run on AMD now since apple updated the code they use to work with AMD and they've confirmed it. We should see their website update soon to reflect this. My older computer was Intel but I built a new computer with an AMD 16 core/32 thread - thread ripper and seems to work good with it!
At the time I didn’t know they were still making ERP rigs 😄 That’s a BIG mistake on my part. You guys handled that like champs and corrected me. I appreciate your attention to detail and appreciate how you publish a 60318-4 data sheet.
Hey, are you up for a videocast episode with us? To touch on this but mostly talk about the future of headphones, pro and hi fi?
@@olloaudio sure thing! Probably easiest to reach me via discord or twitter these days. My email is crazy.
Esse fone é simplesmente perfeito! 😍
Nism vedu se v slo tud z spatial ukvarjamo =) Zadna leta se občasno poigravam z SXFi od Creative.

Uglavnem, rad imam base, furam V-moda HPje na kere aplajam EQ da jih dam v "flat", ampak ob SXFi virtualizaciji filmov sm tudi sam kr hitro pršu do zaklučka da mi ob uporabi istega EQja premočen bas uničuje ta "spatial magic" =)
Jp...odziv slusalke za spatial mora bit drugacen kot soba, ker slusalka bazira vse na htrf jih, soba pac tega ne rabi emulirat. Sej se industrija pocasi strinja okrog tega, se par let pa bomo podobno uglasevali slusalke za spatial. Verjetno... :)

I have an RME Interface, what do you think about putting the values of the file into the Room EQ of RME Totalmix software? Is it relevant ? I can't put the values with the comma, (for exemple a 0.94 value will be set to 1). Or its better to put a Pro-Q3 in my DAW at the start of the chain which can accept values with numbers behind a comma ? That said i really love how you manage the brand, how fast you answer by email or on gearspace. It will push me to be loyal to the brand envisaging to buy a S4R :)
You can use the closest number that RME can support. I'd always go for a separate headphones channel calibration rather than master channel inside DAW. But you need to have that kind of hardware. UCX and UFX both have it. ADI as well I think. So you're ready for a seamless workflow! Thanks for the support! RG
Nice feature! Cool to see the various ways you're trying to push the envelope on what's considered possible
🔥🔥🔥
Are these headphones also suitable for recording electric bass? Thank you
They're great for vocals, guitars, piano etc,... They have no emphasis on the bass, so that might be a good or bad thing, depending a bit on your preference. RG
I just bought the Hisenior earphones on Douglas "DMS" Stephens' recommendation. I certainly hope they are as spectacular as he claims they are.
Great video, love OLLO!
