Angeboten wird „OAE1“ von Grell als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Kopfhörer mit Kabel“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4547656424 endet am 11.07.2026 um 11:32 Uhr.
This €165 asking price for the Grell OAE1 is fair, sitting comfortably above the 25th percentile of €56 but well below the 75th percentile of €270, and just slightly above the median of €127 from recent EUR listings. It’s not a bargain, but it’s a reasonable ask for a used unit in good condition, especially given the headphone’s current-new retail price of roughly €185 (converted from $199 USD).
The OAE1 stands out for its open baffle design and 40mm biocellulose dynamic drivers, delivering an unusually spacious soundstage and elevated bass that rivals entry-level closed-backs like the Audio Technica M50X. Its 38Ω impedance makes it easy to drive, and it shines with more powerful amplification. At this price, you’re getting a well-regarded, distinctive headphone with genuine sonic character—no major caveats unless the listing omits the included 6.35mm adapter or shows signs of wear beyond the stated “good” condition.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Grell Audio emerged in 2020 as a family-run venture rooted in Germany, spearheaded by industry veteran Axel Grell from its base near Hanover. With decades of experience dating back to Sennheiser in 1991, Axel Grell has shaped headphone innovation, creating cult-favorite designs and consulting for major audio brands before launching his eponymous line to craft headphones under his precise vision.
The brand concentrates exclusively on high-end headphones, emphasizing open-back architectures like the OAE-1 and OAE-2 models. These draw from Grell's pioneering techniques, such as ultra-low acoustic impedance for expansive openness and frontal driver orientation, prioritizing realism, energy efficiency, and forward-thinking materials over broader categories like amplifiers or speakers.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the audiophile market, Grell commands respect for transcending conventional soundstaging norms, delivering deep, authentic listening that appeals to discerning buyers seeking modern excellence. Its products blend unmistakable audio prowess with sleek design, cementing a reputation among experienced enthusiasts for setting tomorrow's standards.
