Austrian Audio Hi-X65 Professional Open-Back Over-Ear Headphones

Reference That Hits Back.

The Hi-X65 doesn’t flatter your sound – it reveals it. Open, wide, and uncompromisingly precise, it brings every detail forward without exaggeration. Transients are fast and controlled, spaces are clearly defined, and dynamics are immediate and tangible. This is reference sound without filters: direct, controlled, and brutally honest. No hype, no coloration, no masking of flaws. Instead, you get a presentation that shows exactly what works – and what doesn’t. Built for those who don’t interpret, but hear, understand, and decide. 

Built for Decisions.

Mixing, mastering, critical listening – this is where the Hi-X65 excels. Its open-back design creates a wide, natural soundstage with precise depth and accurate imaging, allowing you to position every element exactly within the mix. The neutral tuning gives you full control over balance, dynamics, and frequency distribution, without artificial emphasis or misleading coloration. Weaknesses become audible, strengths just as clear. This enables faster, more confident, and repeatable decisions – in the studio, at home, or on the move.

Built for Real Sessions.

Lightweight, durable, and built for real-world use: the Hi-X65 is made for long sessions. Its ergonomic design ensures a secure fit, while premium memory foam ear pads provide consistent comfort over extended periods. All key components are replaceable – from ear pads to cables – extending product life and supporting daily professional use. With its low impedance, the Hi-X65 delivers sufficient headroom even without complex gear, making it a flexible tool for studio work, home setups, and mobile production environments.

Hi-Xcursion – Sound at Its Finest.

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.
