It's wonderful stuff. There’s a reason it’s used in its solid form on the best acoustic instruments in the world... It just sounds better. It looks great too and the distinct grain patterns make each one unique. Each pair of OEHP's feature grain matched, FSC certified solid walnut enclosures.
We pair each enclosure with our proprietary driver that features a Neodymium magnet and a CCAW voice coil. What does that mean? It means that you’re hearing your music as the artist intended- no fake bass boost, no weird mid-range, just pure, natural sound.
Simple is complicated to achieve. The OEHP was designed to highlight the natural beauty of its solid wood earcups. The inline mic is streamlined and intuitive to use. There are no unnecessary flourishes or extraneous details. These beautiful headphones give you a distinct style that stands apart from the crowd.
but don't just take our word for it...
From The Pros
"For starters, the OEHP headphones look great. The enclosures are crafted from grain-matched solid walnut, cushioned with plush, form-fitting ear cushions and a cushioned headband, making them some of the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn....I can’t say enough good things about these headphones. They offer clean and ear-pleasing sound, comfort, style and substance in a single package that’s not overpriced or overdone in any way. I highly recommend them."

"Headphones these days are either over packed with features or over packed with design. Finding a pair that balances the two is quite difficult. When Grain Audio announced their Over Ear Headphones (OEHP.01), we at Yanko Design got quite excited, because here was a pair that offered impeccable acoustics, superb design and a complete Sonic Experience. The equation balances just beautifully!"

"The natural sound response is not too heavy in the base or mid-range, which is music to our ears."

"The Grain Audio OEHP.01 Solid Wood Headphones ($199) should definitely be on your shortlist if your looking for a set of great looking, great sounding headphones. Wood is used in instruments because it imparts the best sound over any other material. And for that same reason Grain uses only FSC certified solid walnut enclosures in their headphones."

"Wood is used in acoustic musical instruments because it makes them sound infinitely better and Grain Audio takes this fact to heart. The OEHP.01 is equipped with 2x40mm proprietary loudspeakers that feature Neodymium magnets and a CCAW voice coil – features that make the sound come out as natural as the artist intended."
