Ortofon O One DJ Headphones

After earning a trusted name for cartridges and styli for years, Ortofon (founded in 1918 by two Danish engineers) has decided to enter the pro DJ headphone market with the O One headphones. The O One's have the same high level of quality as their cartridges featuring a strong, loud output signal (frequency range of 10 - 22,000Hz and sound pressure level of 112db) and rugged construction is designed to deal with heavy duty DJing or studio use. These highly sensitive headphones will work great with all DJ mixers on the market and can even compensate for mixers with low headphone volumet even in loud club environments. The O One's feature a closed ear design with flexible, replaceable earpads, and detachable single-sided headphone cord. The high quality sound reproduction on these headphones make these great not only for the club DJ, but for the discerning home listener as well.

The body folds and rotates making the headphones easily manipulatable for versatile, comfortable functionality. The O-One’s rugged and durable headband and earcup construction ensures hard-wearing, road worthy performance, and if desired, the headphone cable and earpads can be replaced within seconds for effortless serviceability. In line with this versatility, the enclosed accessories include optional straight or coiled cables, sturdy gold plugs and ¼” adaptor, velour earpads and a convenient carry case to slide in your luggage.

The best thing about the 'O-One', is unlike other closed-back designs, it was engineered using S-Logic to provide a precise representation of sound without coloration or inaccuracies. The design offers listeners a transparent window into sonic purity and is revealing of not only the details and elements which comprise the signal but also any inadequacies or inconsistencies. The addition of the S-Logic design facilitates a superior reproduction of the stereo field, as the drivers are positioned to fire towards the outsides of the ears rather than directly into the external auditory canal. This effectively recreates the way that sound waves enter the human ear from outside sources. This also allows the headphones to be driven at an optimally loud volume with less potential for hearing damage as the sound pressure level inside of the ear canal is greatly reduced. Clever!

By designing a headphone with DJs in mind, Ortofon have produced a powerful, versatile product with premium quality sound reproduction that appeals to a number of contemporary markets and will be challenging the established DJ pro headphones manufactures such as Sony & Pioneer.
