Austrian Audio Hi-X55 Professional Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones

The Hi-X55 is built for critical listening and precise decisions. High Excursion drivers deliver detailed mids, tight lows, and honest, revealing sound. Closed-back design ensures focus, while lasting comfort supports long sessions – a reliable tool for mixing, refining, and getting every detail right.

When every detail matters.

The Hi-X55 is the skilled surgeon of the Austrian Audio headphone line—a mid-forward, closed-back headphone that uncovers every detail in your mix. Our handmade High Excursion Drivers reduce internal resonance and enhance membrane movement to give you a fully honest sonic image. Since comfort is crucial for critical listening applications, the Hi-X55 is equipped with a pressure-reducing head bow and memory foam earpads that are perfect for strain-free, multi-hour mixing sessions. The Hi-X55 is an essential audio tool for anyone looking to explore and refine their recordings.

Hi-X Technology

The Hi-Xcursion (High Excursion) technology drives the remarkable sound of our Hi-X headphones. Every Austrian Audio Hi-X model features a 44 mm driver and an advanced ring magnet system, delivering superior airflow and the strongest magnetic field in its class. Paired with a copper-clad aluminum voice coil, the ring magnet reduces membrane weight for faster, more precise impulse response – producing a sound that’s immediate, detailed, and true to the source. The 44 mm design ensures professional performance, enhanced air movement, and eliminates diaphragm wobble. The ultra-stiff membrane effectively dampens resonance, resulting in an ultra-clear, dynamic, and expressive sound that brings every nuance to life. Supported by Vienna Business Agency.
