What does 𝗢𝗔𝗘 actually stand for?

Open Around Ear.

The term describes the fundamental concept behind the OAE2: an open-back around-ear headphone developed to create a more natural and spacious listening experience.

The name itself intentionally remains simple and functional, focusing on the product category and acoustic philosophy rather than complicated marketing terminology.
